hello mates

i've booked fiat grande punto 1.3 emotion (black color) a few days back and am expecting delivery very soon

i need ya'll to help with a few things which im actually quite a dummy at

for starters, which seat covers should i go for?? i was planning to go for stanley hybrid satin (i.e. fabric on areas of body contact and leather elsewhere). i called up the stanley botique on mg road and the guy quoted me a price of around 35k, i suppose the price he quoted was a little on the higher side or is it? any other options availabe in the same price range?

coming to sun films, which brands should i look for? i've heard lumar and 3m are pretty good

also, my car comes with 175/70 14 inch steel rims, im planning to get the punto OE 15 inch alloys along with 205/55 tyres, is the upsizing ok? i might get the alloys painted matt black later on, the OE alloys are for 10k each, and i dont wanna go for aftermarket alloys as there are harldy any options availble in 98 pcd, are 100 pcd wheels with wobbly bolts successful?also, is there some other place i can get the putno alloys for a better price?

coming to performence, i find the punto a little slow, how bout getting in pete'd? anyone using the petes tuning box, do share ur reviews, though im gunna get the petes box after around 15k kilometers

the ICE in punto is quite crappy, most probably i'll be shifting my santros alpine/rainbow setup to my new ride + get a new sub, can punto accomodate a 3 way component setup cuz im running rainbow slc 3 ways currently

now about all that misc. stuff, which parking sensors should i go for? about car secutiy, the car comes with central locking and engine immobilizer. any one used the gps based tracking device by microvbb? if so, do share ur reviews

thats it for now me mates! pls do suggest any good one stop shop in delhi/gurgaon where i can get all my stuff, or any other GOOD car accessory shops in delhi/gurgaon

thanks for your time

cheers

about your observation that the car is a bit slow,yes,it would be that way for the initial few thousand kms,say 2500kms,after that even you will be puzzled as to where all the power had come from and it would be really fast and quick,so you should wait for a few kms before going for pete(this happened with my linea)

about the parking sensors,go for the ones with fiat/tata ass
