comin along nicely willy for sure
cant you swap them wheels with anyone
OK peeps, ive owened the car just over a month now & ive spunked my grands savings so i thought id post some pics to update you all to where im at.
So far mods include:
Engine: K&N induction kit (needs securing, but im lazy lol) s/s de-cat pipe, straight through centre section (s/s - being fitted today) s/s rage backbox, also added s/s strut front upper strut brace t'other day
Interior: Sprayed heater vent surround metalic silver, Genuine CF dial surround, Chrom / CF (genuine) gear knob & matching handbrake (only £12.50 for both delivered from eBay!) new floor mats
Other: Clear Side Repeaters, Toad ai606, Rear end damage repaired & resprayed (Tailgate was dented & bumper had a crease & a large chunk of paint missing n/s)
Next up: next up will be a 4-2-1 manifold just after x-mas, repainted rocker cover (red with polished emblems) colour coded skirts, mirrors & door handles, respray rear lights red, leaving just the reverse light as normal. Ill do all the spraying myself as im pretty good with the old spray can & then ill see where it takes me after that... Anyway, enough talking - heres the pics! (yes i know its filthy but its too cold to go and clean it atm!)
Opinions welcome!

how fast does it go
Still not sure whats happening with the wheels - probably wont change until ive fitted my 4-2-1 after christmas, as tuning is more of a priority. Then they'll either be re-furbed in white with blue centres or ill source a different set of wheels... im undecided atm.
Speed wise it seems to run 0-60 in around 8.4secs, thats just with K&N, de-cat and backbox, so hopefully with my straight through centre section & 4-2-1 manifold that'll come down a bit more... maybe mid-high 7's.... we'll see...

Ditch the wheels, really dont do anything for the car imo.
Punto Gt no more!
Wheels are staying for now due to funds. I think ill end up getting them refurbed in white because i think it looks good & at least its different. If i was gunna spend out on new wheels id save & get some mugen ones imported.
My straight through is done now & it sounds MENTAL! Small increase in power too, which is nice, but it ws worth the £100 all day long just for the noise - its immense!
Pops, bangs and burbbles.... niiiiiice! Vids to follow when i an be fcuked....
ditch the rims dude, PLEASE!
Looks nicer than i thought it would, well done.
Don't like the car but that gauge surround is nice
