Re: Mk1 Progression Thread (Rialto Blue)

Ahh I see. Mine only fit like that as it came off a sporting already.
Mines a 60s but I got colour coded bumpers for it and alloys etc etc

Would make sense.

I'm looking to go along your line of doing up the car, seems really effective and with the new exhaust it would definately be a head turner

Re: My Punto Mk1

I dunno if you have found it yet, but I think Metallic Rialto Blue is code 467

*Update*

Clear indicators came through in the post, got them fitted now, probably the easiest thing I've done / will do to the car lol

Looking good so far, just get some alloys now!

Also, is it just me when i say get rid of them toyo stickers on the front? They dont seem to go :/

Re: Mk1 Progression Thread (Rialto Blue)

They look bright in the pictures, seems to add detail to the bonnet I think, I baught the car like that I didn't stick them on

But yeah, need to colour code the handles and wing mirrors to make it look better too, any tips on doing it and aquiring the specefic paint colour?

hmm if i ever catch you slamming that poor punto's doors again i'll report you to the moderators .. lol

no need...I heard







There are guides to help you with colour coding, if yours is metallic rialto blue, then the code is 467

You need to sort your breather hose out, it's kinked. You'll do damage if you leave it like that.

 

[fearLess]

Out of interest what sort of damage?

I sorted it a while ago, made it come up and over so it's clear

 

[richie.guy]

Blowback, presusre buildup.

 

[fearLess]

It's all sorted, pulled the tubing from underneath and made it shorter so that it wouldn't kink.

Now as well as alloys I'm looking at lowering the car, how much would be advisable bearing in mind the exhaust I just had fitted.

 

[Munkul]

love rialto blue mk1s. Yours looks very like mine did, only mine was 5 doors

get some alloys and lowering done! please go for something that will suit the car as well, and not something daft out of halfrauds...

Nah I won't spend that much money, I'm not that daft!

How much do you think I should lower by as I'm not sure because of the new exhaust

 

[Munkul]

get 50mm at the front at least. I had 40mm jamex springs on mine, and it never looked low enough at the front.

 

[fearLess]

What it's like with fitting the springs, hard? Costly?

£80-£100 at a garage.

not that hard to do yourself if everything goes right, but if it doesnt then its an absolute nightmare. I struggled with mine, and i had full garage equipment.

 

[fearLess]

That's not too bad, might get a mechanical mate to do it, paint the brakes and put in the alloys whilst I'm at it

Update

The punto got crashed into from the side, and it's a write off, will post pics when I have the chance.
