wriggleandgiggle 0 Posted May 2, 2004 That looks pretty trick. That ironing board spoiler is quite tasteful too. Nice first car.! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fatboyslim 11 Posted May 2, 2004 Hmmm, I take it you don't realise what FIAT stands for then?? Fix It Again Tomorrow!! J/k, The Punto is a good motor really and you see to have got a nice one that's already been modified, now all you need to do is get to some cruises!! Try www.cruiseboard.co.uk for dates and locations!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
terry.sc 16 Posted May 2, 2004 Nice, but which cost more, the modified car or the insurance premium? And shouldn't it be a mini, Minimaniac?[] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MiniManiac 1 Posted May 3, 2004 well spotted terry!!!! i did look at a rover mini cooper racing, but its just to **** small! i had to be practical aswell. As for insurance, not to bad. remember its only a 1.2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fatboyslim 11 Posted May 3, 2004 Well yeah it may only be a 1.2 but with all those modifications done to it?? I hope you've declared the mods to your insurers, if you haven't then do be aware that IF anything happens (accident/theft) your insurers would be within their rights to declare your insurance invalid!! Believe me they will and do!! Yes I learnt the hard way[]!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gates Mini Racing 0 Posted June 8, 2004 Sweet ride! very tidy, the Punto is a nice little car... Looks expensive with the added mods... I like silver, and as Tamiya 1/10 says, it is good at hiding dust and dirt, and god forbid, scratches and of course stone chips.... Happy Driving. (Mini, small on the outside, BIG on the inside)- could always go for an estate! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
