New Fiat owner

[shr3k]

Hey Guys and Gal's

Bought a Punto Friday evening only had it 2 hours and it broke down! Dodgy fuel. Needed a new pump, filter and carb but now i'm back on the road

I have a 1998 1.2 Sporting, Its in a dark orange (Custom Paint Job), Fitted with a full Body Kit all smoothed in, Spoiler and Bonnet. Also Has Bucket Seats, Rear light clusters, Decent Sound system (Loudest in plymouth!), Neons and lots of other little bits. I will get some better pistures up later but heres as it sat when i picked her up on Friday. Lowered 45mm all round aswell.

Anyway look forward to meetings and trips and stuff liek that, also seeming the body works done im looking to change the steering wheel and then engine upgrades :P So watch this space.

Anyway opinions welcome, I love it though :P

yeah your links arnt working mate! i would change the front bumper, i know its smoothed in but id still change it, rear lights to standard, defin8ly bonnet as its a bit out of place, maybe a typ k bonnet or carbon one from absmotorsport.net, not keen on the spoiler but the reast looks ok, mirrors are fine, dehandled is cool (like mine) lol, skirts are smart, not to everyones liking but i like them.

welcome to the site fella.

Some nice touches to your car but as said before few bits i would change imo, but if you love it dont change it. Have the car you want not what other people do.

Enjoy having a fiat aswell lol

Have to admit i bought the car as it was nice for a grand and im going to leave it for a bit until i can afford a full respray which at that time i may change a few bits. But the car is lovely to drive, its nippy aswell. The only problem i have is that its so smooth that you dont realise your going 60mph + in a 30 :O Got to keep an eye out for that but apart from that i like it

welcome,

i really like the wheels.

first thing i would do is remove those horrible rear lights, not too keen on the front bumper or bonnet but they do kind of suit the style of the car as it is.
