its going to be a massive step no matter which 172/182 you opt for. Make sure youre careful with it and respect the power that the car will have over your previous and youll be ok. Id imagine if you drive your car like an idiot, then not even ABS will save you.

Im on the lookout for a phase 1 172, and i have the intention of keeping the car almost entirely standard apart from a few subtle mods: -182 Anthracite alloys -182 rear lights -colour coded rubstrips -(i wont debadge the car, it was just something i did with PS) let me know what you all...

not sure on the wonkey back wheel ;)

Well my i cleaned up my punto ready to be passed on and sold on monday, im down in London until tuesday so today was the last day i got to drive it. I really will miss it, theyre a really fun car when they run without problems. The cars being sold at my dads mates garage, and apparently hes...

sounds like you dont look after your car. That might be the problem :s

Just wondering what sort of price your paying and who you went with? Im coming up to 21 now with 3 years NCB, but i have 3 points on my licence so im a little worried as to what its going to cost me. Anybody any ideas? The Puntos currently costing me 1000 tpft, (grp 14 car) but im guessing its...

also try and check out my design website: http://www.yeki.co.ukwww.yeki.co.uk its only been up a few days, and its still in testing as such, but have a look and let me know what you think.

No thanks, im a firm believer in standard is god. I think the stripes look good on the blue car, but thats because theyre there for a purpose (some sort of colour/stripe combo to match an older renault race car?) but on anything else it just looks as if its trying to be something its not IMO.

Yeah the GT is a fun car in its own right, but ive had mine for coming up to 2 years now, so its time to move on. Ive noticed the Cups seem to be more expensive 2nd hand, is there any sign of them dropping into the sub 7k bracket between now and say, April? I know its a lazy question, but i...

Are the stripes a limited edtion or is it just an extra for the Blue 182s? Irecall reading something about a Gordini edition or something?

I thought the Radical Turbo had the fastest ring time?

Cheers mate, I do like the Punto, and its fun to drive, but i just want something thats got great handling (the Punto handles like a bathtub on rollerskates). I also fancy a change from the turbo, on boost its great, but below 3k its useless, and i find turbos difficult to drive on twisties. I...

Cheers, personally i think the Mk2 looks nicer because its that bit more sharp, but the Mk1 still looks good, and i prefer a fun drive over looks (some of you may have gathered this from the fact that i drive a Fiat Punto with black wheels ;)) Ill try and arrange a test in the mk.1 for the...

Thats the thing you see, ive had some real problems with private buys in the past, so ill more than likely be getting a trade buy with some form of warranty. Is the mk.2 regarded as a better car than the mk.1? [Edited by Lionheart on 14 February 2005 at 8:00pm]

Thanks, I still havent decided weather its going to be a mk.1 or a mk.2., ill have roughly 7k to spend, and id prefer the mk.2 ideally, but if it came down to it id rather have a nice low mile mk.1, than a raped high mile mk.2.

cheers for the quick replies everyone. So theres no real particulars i should be looking out for other than the usual checks? This is my current car in a very rare cleaned form, its for sale shortly on the off chance that anybody is interested...

Hey all, My names Dan, and i currently drive a 1995 Punto GT. However im looking to change up to a 172 in the next month or so, and i saw this site on the window sticker (see, they do work) in a 182 Gordini(?) at Oulton Parke this weekend. (I was parked outside the pits in a dark blue punto...
