Re: Punto Red Emotion MJD - 1 Year Completed (Pg.14)

I am planning to get the leather work done from them. Can you also let me know from where you got those doortrims done.

I have done it from Pensee Leathers.
Yes they do remove steering. Even i was skeptical about that, but after seeing the work, i think that its pretty risk-free, IF you don't have air bag. If you have, better not to do that. Even they will tell they can handle, but better not to do from them.

I haven't done any door trims. Only seat covers and steering cover.

How my Punto is looking, it will complete 2 years in 2 months -

Last 1 year has been excellent, no issues. I was bit apprehensive for 1 year service interval, but except the clutch issue, car is running without any problem.
Keep in mind my running is not very high, just completed 19K.

Congrats in advance RSM. Wish you more happy and safe miles. I dont think any of the members of TAI Punto club has faced any major issue which translates to the fact that inspite of being in partnership with Tata motors, the fiat cars are not troublesome.

Yes, you are right here Akash . But I want to ask a question here. Someone was saying that Fiat-Tata friendship (agreement) would be over by next year ? Is it true or rumours or nothing

Thanks guys.

This is certainly a rumor.

But some interesting things are happening.
- 2 new Fiat brand store (Boutiques) are coming up by next month, one in Pune and one in Delhi.
- In all bigger cities, the service stations are going to independent from Tata service centers. Again this is not fully independent, but sale service centers in that cities will open different service center for only Fiat cars.
- The small car testing started in India. I think Fiat is planning to correct all issues before they launch small cars.

Nice photography, RSM. Feels good to read the updated ownership reviews. I still remember the day when we celebrated your car's purchase, then first anniversary and now it's going to be the second anniversary so soon. Keep going!

What do you actually mean by boutques ? Is it possible to share some more information on it ? I know, I am from Delhi and I should give more information on it but my ignorance can be accepted as I have not brought Fiat yet and still in consideration due to some personal issues

Yes Vibhor you are right here but only concern I see here Ravi was very frequent earlier but not any more. Probably, Ravi can answer it but we need or I personally need your involvement more then anything else. Javadev is one who is still holding the fort but Ravi. What happened man ? Can we extend some support ? Please ask we are friends and probably carry the same interest if anything else.

Had few minor accidents, front bumper need replacement, even the bonnet needs to dented/pented.
Claimed insurance, given vehicle to Concorde today.

Total estimate is 8-9K. Time estimate is 5 days. I requested to make it bit early, so let us see when they can deliver.
And yes the bumper was available.
