Looking for sites to purchase parts

rizzee

Hi everyone,

I recently bought a 07 Grande Punto. I plan to do it up, mostly visually.

So far I have the rear windows tinted, purchased some 17' alloys and i'm waiting on the wind deflectors and sun strip at the moment. My custom semi bucket molded leather seats are being fitted the weekend.

I plan on getting the lights tinted smoke black next week, getting a debadged grille, fog lamps, HIDs and a back box for a little bit of a hum. That's all for now! :P

I was just wondering are there many sites out there for cheap parts for the Punto?? I know Ebay, Amazon etc but it's still pricey for a bit of plastic

(Cheapest front debadged grill I found 52 euro delivered http://www.ebay.ie/itm/Badgeless-upper-Grille-For-Fiat-Grande-Punto-05-09-Grille-No-logo-debadged-NEW-/110998890342?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item19d80ca766)

What about any Irish companies? Although parts are quite expensive over here... any feedback /websites/ even parts you might have that i'm looking for please share!

Thanks

Anyone?

BUBBLE WRAP

Well if your looking for ideas and/or insparation go here.

Personally, I would get the parts of ebay, as I assume the price of modified parts here would be fairly expensive.

EDIT: I done a quick google search on modified parts for a grande punto and nothing really came up.

Hope it helps

Hey, I know your car - you do Apache deliveries don't ya?

I have a 2006 GP 5-Door in blue myself, used to live just beside it (until last week). The best things to do for the car are:

- Convert to red Fiat badges
- Fit a debadged front grill
- Debadge the rear "Punto"
- Armrest and Yatour Virtual CD Changer
- Front fog lights fitted
- LED lights interior, exterior, reg plates
- Silver / clear indicator bulbs
- Eibach lowering springs after your alloys are fit (which are 4x100).

You can get the front grill from Tuning FK Automotive for c. €29 with shipping:

I literally just sold a spare front red badge but pointless at this point with the debagded grill. Link to the rear badge is also below, still have to put my own on. Works out at €25 from eBay which is a cheap as I can find it.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FIAT-GRANDE-PUNTO-PANDA-REAR-BOOT-TAILGATE-BADGE-RED-/140422833977?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item20b1da6739&clk_rvr_id=421362693739&clk_rvr_id=421362693739&clk_rvr_id=421362693739&clk_rvr_id=474285484345

Once you put alloys on, its going to look pretty high so Eibach 35-40mm springs will sort that out and upgrade what I find to be quiet bouncy stock ones. Works out about €150 with shipping:

http://www.ebay.ie/itm/ES59-Eibach-Federn-Sportline-FIAT-Grande-Punto-199-1-2-1-4-8V-1-4-16V-10-05-/300666474807?pt=DE_Autoteile&hash=item46011e5137#ht_6703wt_1139

Oh and for interior, you can use MicksGarage for an armrest for €70 and I definitely recommend this device below - links in directly to the stock Blaupunkt and acts as a virtual CD change that plays MP3's from SD, USB or a direct Aux-In cable, its deadly and keeps the steering wheel controls and cheap off eBay. I posted about it here too:

And finally, if you need any parts for either repairs or replacements (such as plastic pieces that like to fall off or replacement dash vents since they can lift on the driver side) check out SG Petch in the UK, prices are not bad and they have everything new and OEM.

http://fiat-grande-punto.sgpetch.co.uk/pages/parts/fuels/edition=54

This place below is Ireland Car Parts for crash repairs located in Navan, I got wheel arch liners off them for like €50, they are aftermarket replacements but identical to OEM. They also do the fog lights which are €90 a piece on eBay but only €45 here. I bought black ones on eBay but don't fit correctly (see my FF thread).

Best of luck with it and well wear! PS: My car on Fiat Forum too http://url.ie/hcrg

Are you sure that's the top main grill at thefront and not the one underneath the reg mate?? VERY cheap

rizzee

Yup that's definitely it but the picture is upside down so it throws you off and really is that price, great deal. The red badge on yours looks great, can't beat the red / black contrast Springs will go straight in as well.

rizzee

Thanks mate! Think ill stick to the red badge at the front for now Thanks, someone told me about getting new mounts too for the springs?

Well the top mounts are a common fault with the GP but are a cheap fix and the mount will be easily accessible when upgrading so its worth doing. Just found out today one of my springs snapped so I'll have a similar shopping list.

How much would a set be do you know? Can't see any for less than 50 on ebay? Are you still around the Dunshaughlin area? I'll keep an eye out

Ah though I post the link, my bad. There are on SGPetch for £16.99 each so if you use Parcel Motel for postage, should come in at €40ish with shipping for genuine parts.

I am dude, sort of - living in Ratoath so I do be around I'll stop by next time I see you parked up. Nice deal with your dad for those wheels, honestly they are a rarity in Ireland!
