Nice one Adam, exactly the same as mine cosmetically however yours has the side skirts on that mine didn't. Also you're looks like a 1.4 or bigger where as mine was only a 1.2 16v (for insurance reasons at 17). Great cars absolutely loved mine, understeered like the QE2 in the wet though so fitted a Pi shorter spring and damper kit which dropped it by 30mm at the front and 15mm at the rear, made it handle and look miles better. Enjoy it chap

Small update on the Punto.
It has developed a drive shaft oil leak, rubber seal has perished so is booked in to have it replaced, i am also having the other replaced as it makes sense to do so. Fiat quoted me £170, shopped around and have chosen ABP Motorsport http://www.abpmotorsport.co.uk/abp-homepage to do the work, specialise in all cars, mainly Japanese and have quoted £125 all in. Booked in for Friday. Happy days.

Well Patrick, the only goal left is to buy my first car before 2013. I WILL do that.
(not saying end of 2012, because that seems unlikely!
)P.S. Sorry for the hijack!
I think it is because i have been watching too many Colin McRae Subaru vids today at work.JayTee94 said:

Dont have to rush into it Jay, i waited until i got the funds sorted and looked at loads of cars, get as much info on each car your interested in, look at potential pitfalls and test drive a few cars, if you test drive something which was not what you expected, test drive another example. I looked at a Yellow Punto Sporting, 53 plate and was awful, cosmetically and felt horrid to drive, mine was a lot better and only £300 more.Well Patrick, the only goal left is to buy my first car before 2013.

Must be something to do with Yellow cars
