Yes it would definitely. Try sourcing the same from the FIAT dealer

Congrats on the purchase of the Punto. The white punto with the black grill is a delight to the eyes.

Do post more pictures and enjoy many more miles with the Punto

Hmmmm. So Punto is getting the attention it deserves. Is attention percolating down to the driver? If your love life is getting a boost in terms of options available (assuming that you are not married) then you its your moral responsibility to inform your team-bhp brothers. Hell we can even start a thread on that. Love life gets PUNTOed. Ok I am going OT again.

You know punto has definitely increased the style quotient of the driver .Yesterday , when i was waiting at the railway crossing , man disembarked from his black scorpio enquired about the ride and other issue , i was more than happy in enlightening him about my experience with the car .He seems to be quite convinced in owning it soon .Are fiat guys listening ,we the punters are their most efficient PR men

Congratulations for your new acquisition. Liked the black grill,it looks better than the silver version on the emotion variants.
Also,fiat is relying on the word of mouth publicity, to dig itself out of a hole. I am quite optimistic about fiat. As long as they provide good service, their cars will speak for themselves.

neutralgrey · 2nd June 2010, 20:43

Congratulations! Its a great car, and it gets better every kilometer you drive

blueblooded · 3rd June 2010, 06:16

@Amartya
Yes fiat cars speak for themselves and as the reports are coming *** of fiat have quite improved and they are taking pains to attend to customers problems .

@neutral grey
thanx a lot ,only a true punter can relate with another , have many happy miles ahead

Congrats Blueblooded Punto owner :-)
Man, post some more picture of your beauty.
The punto simply looks smashing in white and red.

Cheers
And drive safe .

@ARISHI1
Thanx man,as for the modifications ,I am planning to keep it stock ,except may be alloy wheels and wider tyres.

blueblooded · 5th June 2010, 08:53

@Schoudhary

Thanx , for photo please wait for some more time
I have clocked 1950kms and relishing it

blueblooded · 11th June 2010, 10:26

PUNTO is really very stable and ride is so good that yesterday my friend was enjoying his sips of coke while i was cruising through patch roads, I didnot notice till i stopped for the railway crossing .Truly great experience .
We own a innova but never tried such things in it .

WELL , fiat guys are really improving their after sales serivices .I have shot an email regarding my rear shock absorber to fiat india .I was really floored when i got a call from Brijlax Motors regarding the problem and the guy was really courteous gave me date to visit the their service centre soon
I am planning to visit the same on coming monday.
Thats really good for fiat owners in general and punters in particular

blueblooded · 28th June 2010, 22:44

i have completed 5000 kms on my punto .In the meantime i had got my first service done at Brijlax motors itself .As regards quality of service I dont want to repeat it verbatim as i have already done in punto wriggles thread. In few words Brijlax motors is over stretched .

I have gone engine oil change in the first 3000kms itself as the driving conditions in our part of india is really very harsh,despite people advising against it .
My ac was not cooling properly from the very start , but i noticed it very late ,the workshop guys could not rectify it on the day of first service and i have lodge a stern complain to fiat india ,which jolted the said dealer out of inaction or I would say apathy .Finally they okayed the ac , thanx to the fiat warranty and their timely intervetion all the services were done free of cost .
The mechanic told me that the joint around the condenser had failed causing gas leakage and was suitably restored to the original finish .
Over all punto owners cant stop raving about their prized possession , and I am no exception to it .
AFTER SALE SERVICE IS STILL A CONCERN ,but people at FIAT INDIA PVT LTD would go all the way to help you out .We dont ask much
