Pure sex. Makes me want to get hydraulics.

Looks comical in the pic with the hydros raised.

Re: my punto mk2!

if you was to give your car to rayvern for same kit as mine would be around the £2K mark, but mine was cheaper because of doing it myself!

future plans are:
rat look boot install (nxt)
new HU front comps and tweeters
bodywork- smooth locks, bonnet badge, bad boy, smooth holes in abarth bumpers, smooth skirts in and abarth badge in skirt, rear wiper hole, aerial and mirrors.
ful respray in black with brown metallic flakes, but with a little twist!
mk1 golf chrome dish wing mirror
full interior re-trim
then maybe a 1.4 turbo conversion
