My Punto is in the scrappys

:lol: well outside actually

Washed and polished it all up this morning so i thought id take some pics with the rubbing strips off.

Went to the scrappys cos i thought it would make the car look more presentable

Once i get Abarth skirts and the doors de-locked, and lowered 50mm will look sweeeeeet lol

Re: My Punto is in the scrappys

Looks mint, IMO the wheels suit it perfectly and fill the arches perfectly. Lower anymore and will ruin the flow of the car, but thats just my opinion. Oh and the colour looks sweet!

Re: My Punto is in the scrappys

Looks spot on.............i personally dont think you need to park it outside a scrappy to make it look good though

Re: My Punto is in the scrappys

lol cheers everyone for your kind comments.

Yup its doo wop turquoise. Flips to green/ blue and goes a purpley colour at night under some light

The doors and boot wont be de-locked until i get my new job- im training to be a driving instructor so Ill need to get that done first. The practicality of the car doesnt really bother me, as it will be used as a 2nd car (wee project if you like) because im getting a mini with my new job. No idea how much this will cost.

The Punto sits way too high at the front as standard, and even with the -35mm springs on it, still sits higher at the front than i would like. I was looking at the merkur Kit for it, but i think the front splitter sits way too low, and dundee's roads are shocking so it would get smashed to bits anyway.

Another thing im looking into getting done is the interior re-trimmed, but i dont know which route i am going to take.

I was thinking cream leather or......
Black leather side bolsters & headrests with dark grey alcantata centre with light grey stiching.
