nice report which precisely covers everything, nice FE as well.Hows the engine noise after few K's running, heard with some puntos it does reduces and with some doesnt, so hows your mill behaving.Initial turbo lag seems fiat tuned this mill with taking FE the most into consideration with better ride.But yes it should be improved.Hows your view regarding the interiors quality, by say Linea seems far better to punto.

Hey Shynish, Thanks for stopping by and I'm glad you liked the pictures. Well, currently I'm using Nikon D60 with nikkor 18-55mm and 70-300mm VR lenses. It's good to know your interest towards photography. :)

Hey guys, was anyone lucky to install armrest on Punto and also to add USB port to its factory fitted music system?

Please share the tips and information on this.

 

[vroom]

I would really be interested in adding the USB port. What about the Epk? Does it have a USB port?

Vroom

 

[Grandeur]

Yes it does have it, but guess where to find it. It's hiding in glove compartment :). Well I guess we can also add the USB cable to its Aux input which should be on the backside of its head unit (Blaupunkt FIAT 199CD SBO5 NEW STYLE CD RADIO), as the head unit are same on all Punto's (I'm not sure).

EPK has USB port.
I asked this to my sales guy, he told its possible, i think they can connect from Ciggy lighter..we need to find out.

@Grandeur - Which seat cover did you put? Is it from showroom (Fiat cover) or from outside?

 

[cooldhaya]

I don know about the USB but we can add armrests!! But i don have any idea about cost also!!

 

[Grandeur]

RSM, I customized it myself, since it was the new car the seat cover tailor didn't had the size of its seat, so he specially came to my house to take the size and got it stitched for Rs 1800/- only.

RSM, Would really appreciate if you could do get that info with your contacts. I will also ask the sales guy here.

Cheers,
Vroom
