    Since I own exactly the same model of car and colour. All I can say is NICE!!!!

    Completely undecided whether I'm bothering tarting up mine, or just wait for a more powerful car in the next year and a half I left of my warrenty.

    You just need some Abarth skirts now :-)
    Then I'll be completely envious.

    Cheers for the comments so far guys!

    @ Jiff - The tints are with the law that was out when i got it tinted (70% Light through on front, anything on back) Dont actually know what the current law is but they will stay on untill someone tells me to take them off

    @ mekworld - The skirts are at the Fiat garage now, they have just been sprayed and will hopefully get them fitted next week

    It certainly looks nice, but I have this aversion to Fiats unfortunately.... we have 2 at work as fleet cars.. Puntos actually... and they are the direst vehicle I have EVER driven, aside from maybe the littlest Corsa.. I put one of them into reverse..... and the gearstick came out in my hand I hope yours being the later model is lots and lots better in terms of build quality and general niceness....

    I drive a Focus during the day and i shamefully admit, the build quality on the Focus is quite a bit better! Ive only had to replace the gearbox in my punto and that was for a recall (made a huge clunk when you slapped it out of reverse) oh... and it needs new brake pads but thats becasue i used to have a very heavy right foot... *cough*

    Respect to anyone with A539's cos they know their rubber

    Very very nice though, I love that shape of Punto. Great chioce of wheels too

    Also, brake pads, if you can get Ferodo DS2500's for those brakes then go for it, you'll never look back!!

    @ unrealrocks - The fronts are tinted The back is 15% light let through and the front is 70% Light let through! In the flesh its alot less notciable

    @ mekworld - The skirts are £93, spraying is £70 and fitting is free (i know the guy at the Fiat garage )
