few changes

so i have a nice punto 60 and im just making a few changes to suit my wants/needs.

so ill keep this updated and would like people to give feedback.

heres my car:


heres a few bits I'm doing to make it nicer:

Painted and refurbished alloy wheels:


Custom built sub-box to fit into wheel arch:







I was intending on paint calipers today but building the rest of the box in fibreglass and painting and sanding alloys took alot of time.

but im pleased with what i have done!

MORE TO COME!!

Sell the black alloys and paint the sporting ones Anthracite to give the Punto GT look.

also, put wiper back on as Punto rear window is looks wierd without one!

when i bought it, it was gone so was the smoothed boot. so im keeping it that way, it looks smoother altogether!

so my tyres came on friday, they will be fitted to alloys sometime soon, ive nearly finished sub-box. just need to seal up the edges to make it airtight and then cover the box with some nice black leatherette. and mount the sub and wireing port. should be painting brake calipers soon, and also getting new mirrors as mine are held on with tape!

let me know what you think so far.
cheers.

Tyres i have four but only 2 shown:

195/45/15

Sub-box:

just out of interest, does your rear number plate have illumination?

Cos i just fitted a smooth boot andnot got a light for the plate and everyone keeps tellin me Ill get pulled for it.

Also I plan on doint a similar sub box sometime soon. so any tips probs you come across will be most useful to me! :P

pics of alloys on car?

also looks weird without rear wiper IMO.

I think you can yes

Its like a little white thing
Its just under his Number 8 on his plate

He's still got his

No wiper looks good on a mk2, but not so sure about mk1. Might look better lower.

I think there is a light at the bottom pointing up.

And yes you do have to have the plate illuminated as you will get pulled, police like an excuse, and they will then go over the car with a fine tooth comb

It will also fail all MOT's without one

my plate has a light to it the little black box which is nice and fairly unnoticable.
Also with the sub box, just take your time and make sure you have everything ready before starting, what i did was put news paper in the wheel arch to get main shape then built a box and built it in there to get straight edges to screw to front plate, but i would advise you to put down loads of tape and then masking tape instead of newspaper it will take a tighter shape and will fit better.


Mikeee
hey mike, i have to get the tyres fitted to the alloys yet which will be soon hopefully, so ill update as soon as i have done so.

got a new headunit today!!

Fli Swat 5, has 3 preouts, so i can run my 2 amps which is handy, looks nice too, and can use SD card, USB, Ipod and CD, which is always good.

nice car, like the alloys you have got for it

From experience i can vouch for that, my car failed it's MOT on just one of the bulbs being blown. oh and the small thing of a broken front suspension arm.

If your getting rid of the GT sporting alloys i'll give you £50 for all 4,

BTW how are you windows?

been at collage and work all day so haven't had time to do the window's, i will be doing them next week if i can find out how they are wired together.

so how do you get the area filled where the number originally is? think it looks pretty cool wanna do the same on my punto .....I'll be posting some pics of mine soon
