Punto (Mk2/2b) Lum's 2b - Eurooooooooooo to be!

Introduction

I've been browsing these forums since I got my punto, never got round to making a thread. Since I'm starting to mod it now, probably should make a thread. I'm a 17 year old from Scotlannndddd and this is my first car :)

Was decent back then, I got it for 1800. First thing I did was took them wheel trims of and ran on steels, then took the bump strips off.

Unfortunately I had a crash not long after I passed, reversed right into the side of a BMW (ha :/). Don't even want to know what my insurance is going to be next year tbh.

So, the damage ..

I then bought a badgless grill from eBay for 50. Was a mo'fukin scam, thing was a piece of sh*t, tried to send it back to the guy and get a refund but he didn't collect it or something and it ended up just getting returned to me.

So I took it upon myself to try and do up my grill abit myself. I sanded away the silver that was on it, then sprayed it gloss black. Then I got the centre which used to say fiat sprayed silver. I kinda regret ever touching it cos it looks worse now lmao ..

My seats were quite bad so I've got some seat covers just now to cover them up, think i'm going to get alfa 146 seats in a few weeks, i'm liking them tbh. Although being a celtic fan, red and blue isn't the best of combo's - the seat covers wer given to me so I didn't really have a choice haha.

Got tired of my steels, was in the scrap yard looking for a spoiler yesterday and I found these alloys :slayer:. Yes I got them from a scrap yard and they are in amazing condition. Alloys like these, with basically brand new tyres arn't easy to find down there and they where a bargan so they will do just now untill more money comes in. I start uni in September, and have got a new job lined up starting next week so I'll be doing it up quite a bit over the next few months.

As it is now with the alloys ...

Nice to see someone else trying to properly modify a 2b =]

I will say one thing tho, that glass fibre paste is completely the wrong way to smooth your bumper.

The strips need to be plastic welded and then you should use fibre glass matting over the top not the paste!

That will crack within a week of having paint on it.

Apart from that good luck lol
 
Cheers Atticus I appreciate you having a look as you are the reason I'm doing this, after I saw your punto I was like **** yeah.

I didn't think I needed to plastic weld the back bumper. I'll be plastic welding the front bumper when I start on that, but I thought with the back I had enough support for it not to crack. I guess time will tell, I'll be gutted if it does! Kinda gutted now like after hours and hours of fukcing work :(

Just this minute finished the filler over the f/glass on the back bumper and smoothed my boot off. Will post some pics up soon.
 
yeah the rear bumper will 100% need plastic welding or it will crack in less than a week its been proven with so many puntos!

if your smoothing your boot you will ideally need to weld up the rear wiper arm hole and the boot lock hole or the bodywork will sink in no time.

dont want to see you having to waste money doing it twice!
 
nah mate fibreglass is fine if you use the correct one and use it properly...use enough hardener and let it set and sand properly...prep surface properly will be fine.:)

It has cracked round like the outside of the bumpstrip hole if you get me, so u see an outline. I duno what to do. If I should rip it all out or try fixing it.

Do it yourself? How much did it cost? Where have you put the suede, just on the roof and pillars?:)
 
I smashed my phone so i can't take pics but the phone is getting fixed so should be able to get some pics up on soon.

- Got the remote locking kit, tried to wire it up but its not working ....? going to have to have a look at it there are wires hanging out everywhere in the car now :(
