Bought this last week, yup a know its a punto but not many of them around and seams a good enough car.
Not got many plans for it, just new plates this week and play about with the boost a bit.

Mate that owned it Derek West,swapped it with a guy for a cavy turbo. Their was nothing wrong with it he just changes his car every other week. I seen it last sunday in stirling and said to him he should never have sold it. Think he paid £2300 for it aswell,but it had viper induction,he bought wheels,60mm springs and fitted that exhaust,cause he needed to put cat bk on

Surprisingly yes... For a fiat it seams very well built, no knocks, noises etc..
Trying to get anywhere off roundabouts in the wet etc is pointless though, just spins as soon as it hits boost. Apart from that it handles well but still comfy etc..

That could be right, ive not got the v5, just left the seller it to send away..
Exhaust was painted primer grey when I picked it up and looked bootiful so did it black the next day... lol

Because the viper was filthy and wasnt meant for the car I dont think, was sitting facing the O/S with no room for cold air feed.
Cotton green ive had sitting for a while so tried it on, fits much better and looks better aswell.

Cold air comes in right infront of it, exhaust and turbo are right down the back so heat isnt a huge issue for it...

I offered 2500 cash, he wouldnt let me have it for less than £3100 so if I was you beattie i'd be ripping his arm off at what youve been offered it for..
