Grande Punto The story now, and as it continues

[Wisey]

Rears hopefully get them on myself soon, as people reckon its a short 5 minute job a side. The fronts it looks like i'll be taking them to the YI meet in Feb and dombooth and Andy Monty will hopefully help me fit them

I'll get a photo's of both cars soon (can't get the RC Abarth to work atm)

CHEEKY COMPARISON


BOSH!!

20 Minutes, 1 Broken screwdriver and a big smile later i have my Abarth Rears fitted. So so easy, should have done it the day they arrived they are THAT easy!

Can't wait for mid Feb to get help fitting the fronts (hopefully)

Nice mate mine go on tomorrow together with rear wind deflectors and abart antenna mast.

 

[Jordan92]

I am so jealous right now. They lokk awsome mate really set the rear end off

 

[blu73]

is it just me that thinks they are hardly worth it?? no offence intended! Just think i light tint would have suited the car better myself but its not my car.

 

[Jordan92]

At the end of the day he got them for free when he brought the abarth headlights its a win win in my books.

 

[tempz]

I told you they would be nee bother to fit.

I like em tbh

Booo bluuu! Yeahhh, can't deny they are subtle, very subtle. Everyone who has seen them has commented "whats different", and nobody has noticed without me prompting simply because they are so subtly different. But they are soooo much better IMO, and definitely worth it, certainly not worth £130 odd brand new though, but for less than a tenner extra than just fronts on their own win win!

This is EXACTLY the way i see it, and was the deciding factor in purchasing them!

Yeahhh, you were right. Considering the fronts i just assumed the rears would be as much of a fiddle, but literally a screwdriver is all thats needed. Easy peasy.

I absolutely love them.

 

[mr and mrs tjet]

Top right>>>tempz>>>Threads you've started>>>Boom!


And thats it....i'm getting ROTA's now! I PM'd him about those, hoping he had the offer of fronts + rears still, but he'd sold the fronts and i didn't fancy just the rears I assume you have them on, or are they on their way to you. By tuesday they best be on!


EDIT: thats not patronizing, i'm sure you know that function is there already....more the point its not a CBA moment, its too easy Like fitting rear lights haha!

I'm confused. This is my car, Jodie has ROTA's though, i run Team Dynamics normally (winter steels currently).


UPDATE

Just de-frog eyed mine with chrome indicator bulbs. Thanks Reuuk for the link to those. Also fitted my Osram Nightbreaker+ bulbs. Its 1pm currently, so middle of the day, however i'm a little concerned i haven't fit them correctly. I've only tested on a BIG box placed infront of my car to see the beam during daylight, either side of the car is very very different. Is this normal, or have i fit them a bit off. Also, i've lost one of the protective rubber caps that goes over the entire fitting before closing the bonnet, how vital are these for protection? Stupid me has obviously left one in the engine bay from when i fiddled about with it last week and forgot to put it back on....subsequently loosing it whilst driving somewhere.

I'll get some photo's during dusk later, and after my planned 'clean' for the day in preparation for Trafford on tuesday
