    Looks good.
    One thing to add though, get rid of those side bump strips!
    Completely changes the look from the side, plus looks more euro

    I spoke with the bodyshop guy and he reckons the rear n/s quater panel has been resprayed in the past so kinda worried that they might of masked the strip instead of removing it and doing the job properly lol Meaning if i remove the strip you'd see where the strip was

    @Ben

    Yeah compared to a GT they are slow but after spending £6,000 on my punto i needed something reliable to get me to and from work.

    (Punto Story Time LOL)

    I know people will be like £6k and it looked crap but a big bulk of that was from a mistake lol, I took the GT to a FIAT Spec for a Cylinder head replacement which cost me £600 (Radiator + 1 Injector) Then they told me the Block had cracked and i ended up getting a 2nd hand engine and they fitted it and charged me another £1200. (I wish i got a price before they worked on it) I collected my car they said don't boot it so i booted it and it stalled... MAFS fell off they didn't put a clip on it, The boost was also sky high going over the on dash 1.6Bar. I took it to DYNO and he set the boost at 1.5Bar and said the engine would be fine, 1 Month later the 4th Cylinder melted so i had 2 Shafted engines so i got the cylinder out of 1 engine and put it the other which cost me £300. 3days later the car kept spitting oil from the dip stick and throwing my dipstick out turned out the pistons was wrong.

    When to Bradford for my 3rd engine which cost me £600 and apparently out of a GT3 yet it had a ICV on the rocker cover wierd. Got it fitted for £500. Went for it's 1st MOT in my hands and the floor needed welding costing £200+. It lasted a good year with minor problems which i could solve myself, Next MOT came and it needed a rear engine mount + rear pads, Coulpe months later the bolt on the Engine snapped and costed me a new Alternator as it destroyed it.

    It was alot of fun when it ran well.

    TL;DR
    My punto ate money.
