Got a new exhaust fitted to my GP yesterday. Not sure if anyone has seen the standard one but it sits too low/far away from the bumper and looks poor. Went to longlife in Leeds and have to say they were superb. Tony was very helpful in my decision of which style to go for and which sound. Ended up going for a twin 3inch tailpipe and a mild note (the quietist one they do apart from silent). Gives a nice little rumble on starting the engine but isn't in your face what so ever. It was a full system from CAT and I'm delighted with the result.
Thoughts?

It's a 1.4 Turbo
They are suppose to be 120 BHP standard but most came out of the factory between 130-140 for some reason. Getting a GSR induction fitted and then a remap at Red Dot in London. This should take it up to 160BHP and close to 200 lbft torque. Want anymore and you have to take the turbo from the Abarth as the t-jet turbo is only small
Definitely needs lowering aswell as it sits too high

I'd stick with what you've got to be honest, either that or a set of white OZ Superturismo wheels like these:
I had a set on my first car (red Citroen C1) and they really set it off well. The reason I changed though was because I didn't like the steel wheels, whereas your car has a nice set of wheels on already. Certainly don't think you should be in a hurry to change them

Those you posted are nice but I think you are right about staying with what i've got for now.
Going to order some Eibach Sportline springs tomorrow which will lower the car by 45mm on the front and 30mm on the rear. Only issue is where to get them fitted, going to get bummed by any garage I suppose with them charging high labour rate. Need to find a local mechanic out of work who would welcome something to do and a bit of cash in hand

That looks good, exhaust sits nicely. I wouldn't bother with new wheels, get a good suspension system and have it all set up properly, some nice sticky tyres for the oncoming summer and repaint the wheels to make them look different, uprate the brakes if required, get the remap sorted and then you have a standard looking Punto which should be a good drive.
Sleeper style!
