Out looking for a new car for the wife yesterday, we walked into the FIAT showroom and saw this in there. The colours are dreadful from my phone camera, but it looked really good in the flesh. Now if only it had a 2.0 Turbo engine, rather than the basic 1.4! I have a bit of a soft spot for Orange/Titanium wheeled cars.

So when are FIAT producing and Arbarth Punto?

By coincidence I ordered an orange Grande Punto Sporting only yesterday! Fabulous looking cars, and great value too. Just got to wait until 1st Sept now...

That picture doesn't do the colour justice. This is a bit more representative:

I'm personally not a fan of that black 'audi style' grille, but from the photo it looks like it could be a a black trim piece rather than a full bumper. Maybe ask your dealer if it is an accessory part?

i reckon that it looks pretty good except for the stripe that goes all the way over the car.

I've always thought the Grande Punto had a lot of Fiat Coupé about the front end - looks great in both those pics.

Is this a special edition? as the grey alloys aren't an option on the fiat website? Thanks

Hi all. New to site and forum. Ive got an orange Punto Sporting. Got to say i love it to bits and love it or hate it it turns head. Hand two bloke come up to me in the street asking me about it and a few weeks back i was watching from the gym as 3 blokes walked around it and looked inside and out. 4th punto on the trot and by far the best. My last one was a HGT and all in all ow much difference on speed. Having it remapped to 170 bhp when ive a couple of K o the clock

It's at the FIAT dealer in Milton Keynes.

The wheels are not FIAT, although can't remember the after market brand that they were. Call the dealer and ask. I should go back and take a picture with a proper camera to do it justice.

Has anyone found out what part number, or where I can purchase the front bumper from? I may give them a ring later if not. Thanks smile

Ok I rang them up, and this body kit is a limited edition piece, and can only be bought as a whole set : wheels/sideskirts/front,rear bumper, rear spoiler. at a price of £1,700, and they cannot be bought seperately apparently. Shame frown Wanted to get the front/rear for my car. If I get anymore info, as they meant to contact me, I'll let you know.

Hello guys, me first post here so be easy on me!

My name is Chris am from the parts dept at Souls MK (where the pic of the grande punto was taken) I was tipped off that this was being discussed on here so thought i should come and take a look!

Our orange one is really catching peoples eyes BUT most people would like to purchase bits of the kits rather than the complete package. I can confirm that 2 seperate part numbers are available, 1 for the wheel & tyre kit and one for the body mods! The Linea race kit is designed for fitment to all Grande Punto 3 door models (except Active Sport and Sporting due to fitment of side skirts and rear spoiler).

The body mods are £977+ vat and the wheel/tyre kit £765+vat

I am trying to find out if Fiat at any stage are planning on selling the parts seperatley and will update you guys!

Thanks for showing interest in our car! any questions i will try and answer!

Watch this thread Matt, we have the area manager from Fiat in tomorrow and I will find out if it is possible to buy parts from the kit!

Seems daft if you cant!

I can get you more pics if you like although ours is on a sporting so doesnt have the skirts on it
