You mean wobble right?

Yes, I mean wobble.
Fitting 100pcd is big no.
Lack of choice in 98 pcd rims is what prompted me to get OE rims. (Not that OE rims look bad or anything, IMO its best stock alloy available in hatches).

Red is one hot color. I also own a red one, my 2cents will be paint grill, change headlamps to black one instead of chrome and get alloys matted, in your case also the Pillars, Do all of this togther, anyone of the above left will break the look.
Even am planning something similar but waiting for Black headlamps to come in stock with Punto sports launch.

I have already painted my grills, fog lamp enclosure and ORVMs silver.
But, even with the silver, I would like to go in for black headlamps.

I will see if I can try to drive a Punto with 100 pcd.
Owners (mostly) wont tell you honestly about the performance with 100pcd.

The switch is placed inside (hidden on top) the lower chubby hole on right side of steering.

Wiring was passed through the dashboard, nothing is visible.

Wiring, switch and fog lamps are all FIAT OE (in the same packing).

BTW, anyone installing fog lamps should fix a higher voltage fuse.
The stock fuse is not good enough for fog lamps.
If your car's engine is off, and fog lamps are on the fuse will burn.

@Sumit: You got a great deal on the alloys. 9k for a set of four when the company sells it for 10.5k a piece. Congrats on your new acquisition. Happy driving!

PS: Good to meet another United fan here. Glory Glory Man Utd!

The whole package had; fog lamps (the actual fog lamps are pretty big in size from inside), wiring, fog lamp enclosure (black in color) and the switch.

Everything had FIAT logo and company stamp on it except the switch.

You can ask the FIAT guys to order them for you. Pay them advance just to make sure.

UPDATE:

Changed the rear co-axial speakers to Infinity Reference 9633i. (Infinity - Car Audio)
They sound much better than the JBL GTO series I had earlier.
