To clean your engine bay drive thought a largeish puddle at speed

Cheers bud. I do have another set of standard tail lights, but I really prefer the tinted ones, at night sometimes they look like they could be part of the body work

Yup, that is next on my list, but atm I'm having to use a wing mirror from a 5 door, thanks to someone running into it
Might see if I can liberate some sporting ones instead.As for engine bay pics, she's a bit dirty under there, recovering from a oil leak, need to give it a good clean.

dont park in most car parks if you do remove your side rubbing strips, they protect the side of your car from other doors.
nice car
Looks great, im a big fan of lightly tinted lights, but yours suits blacked out. Looks like a really nice mk1

taking off the side strips on my mk1 was one of the best things i did to mine its easy, theres a guide to do it, and there are no holes to fill in. if your lucky, all they need is a little bit of heat from a summers day (or a hairdrier) and they will pull right off.
but then it depends on your tastes, and TBH the strips on a black car really dont stand out much.
lots of people say that you will get bashes from carparks once you take them off but if you take care when parking, (ie watch out for the likely ones such as middleaged mothers and old people) you will be fine, i never gave a thought to where i parked, no-one ever scratched my doors!

I like it, I like it a lot
There's a thread in the Punto section about rubstrips. If you're lucky, Fiat forgot to put the mastic type glue on there and you'll be fine. Otherwise you're screwed

Cheers for all the good comments
The rub strips, I might have a go at next week, a bit busy at the moment. Not concerned about loosing protection for the doors, I'm already very selective of where/who I park next to. I just love the lovely sharp crease it leaves in the bodywork, looks good.
Then I guess I'll have to remove the only rubstrips that will be left, from the backbumper.

If I end up going to the RR event, you'll have to come and have a chat, don't wanna be on me tod like last time lol. Your not the guy that asked if it was a GT are you?
The badges are covering up the holes left by the old punto badge. Old abarth centre caps that I had lying around- supposed to be temporary, I could do with a new tailgate really, mine is rusty and a bit scratched
i dont think i asked if it was a gt, cant really remember though
very nice car., if i was to be picky id say the rear lights are a bit dull looking compared to the body but other than that it looks great.,
