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 ...

I have plans for it, i'm going euro and everthings getting smooth'd. I need to go low low low aswell (thinking about FK AK's but duno might take Atticus's Silverlines). Probably going to get the damage fixed now, thatl be next on my list.

This is depressing to look at. Gives puntos a bad name :(

CHAVTASTIC woooo!!! :)


Anyway nice car. Shame you trashed the side ;)




IF this goes euro... it may have potential.

Duno if you even read what I said, I was at the scrap yard looking for a sporting spolier and I cam across these wheels, in really good condition with almost brand new tyres. I needed new tyres anyway - £140 for the set, how could I say no? They are better than steels and will do till I can find a more suiting set.

And with the seat covers, yes probably add to your definition of 'chavvy' but again its tempory.

No need to say I give punto's a bad name man, wait till its finished then you can say **** like that, just lay off me a bit yeah, i'm not a chav mate.
 
The front wings bolt on and you could get a new driver's door (top of door frame looks rippled in pic).

The bumper may push out when the steel liner is straightened. Shame about the rear panel - may have to get a body shop on that one.
 
I think that is the badge thats been sprayed not taken off :confused: lol but i agree with you, if you can, stick it back on.

Yeah see there was a problem with this. I did the grill then took it into school for my CDT (Don't know what you guys in England call it, but woodwork? Whatever) I told him I wanted the FIAT black but the blue left. I went up at the end of the school day and he said he thought that would have looked better - I was like *sigh* 'THNAKS SIR :D', didn't want to disappoint the guy because he was sound but its really not what i wanted :/
 
I knew that thing was too loud ...

Looking good mate :) i would get damage sorted first mate...yeh the alloys wer a bargain id get them for that price no matter what just because you could sell them for more if you wanted but they do look nice mate

your cars not chavvy at all mate just looks like a mk2b right now with a nice set of alloys :) and no shame with goin to scrappers i wish ones near me wer as good as yours we always just get standard cars in and if they have a punto its stripped bare so nothing left lol

and yeh my exhaust did that after i lowered the ride lol i herd it go "CRACCKKK" as i tryed to park on a kerb lol
 
So far so good mate, it's a pitty about the accident damage, but we live and learn (y)

I think you should paint the door handles and the strips of black on the front bumper next, it should look a lot nicer, and get the accident damaged sorted too.
 
Well, been hard at work all day today ..

Firstly, the oil hadn't been changed in a long long time I think, so it was time for a little oil change.
