Congrats Sumit and welcome to the Grande Punto Club. By the way, did you get 4 alloys for Rs9000? I think it is 9000/wheel. Can you clarify?

shantyrocks · 9th March 2010, 14:19

congratz on your " Rocky" dude..!
Looks gorgeous in red.

arun1100 · 9th March 2010, 14:19

Hope you have a Fiatful life with the PUNTO.

recshenoy · 9th March 2010, 14:26

very nice write up and pics dude. especially the last pic and last but 3 pic!
Nice set of mods planned

How much you paid for the kenwood music system?

Ramsagar · 9th March 2010, 14:38

Congrats. Great choice & color. Good to see the alloys on.
How is the voice clarity & mic reception in the hands free? Read the mic is built in with the HU.
Road tax in PB is mouthwatering. 5.8L on road? B'lore is good at high road taxes.

Soccerfan · 9th March 2010, 14:54

congrats and welcome to the punters club

. enjoy the red beauty

The engine oil in punto is synthetic. No need to change in 1st service. Change only on 2nd service

maverickxx2006 · 9th March 2010, 15:21

Thank You.
Voice clarity is good on both ends. Min recepetion is as good as talking on a bluetooth headset.
Road tax here is 1% which calculates to around Rs. 5000 + Rs. 1500 Education Cess. A total of Rs. 6500.

I got 4 alloys for Rs. 9000. Someone drove straight to a tire shop from showroom and changed the stock alloys to some cheap chrome ones.
I bought it from the tyre shop for Rs. 9000.
Alloys were 40 kms old when I bought them.

I went for Black as it was readily available and then I liked it when I saw couple of black Puntos. Its a tough job for me to maintain it though

I have seen black punto on raod. It looks mean.
Congratulations!!

Sure, it would be tough to maintain. Even red color is tough to maintain. But, its worth it!!!

Congratulations Sumit!

Saw your new car a few times parked outside your place and it sure does attract attention from far!

Where did you get the tints done from? Which brand and how much?
