Re: punto mk2 with mk2b front and normal rear????

what a mis-match

yeah you right mk2b front, mk2 rear, mk2 wheels too

if it was a mk2 to start with then alot of effort to make it look like a mk2b and same the other way round

could it possibly be a front or rear end damage so changed the parts

Re: punto mk2 with mk2b front and normal rear????

Thats right, my Mk2 is on an 03 plate, and from the cover of my Haynes the Mk2 was made from October 1999 to July 2003

Cool Re: punto mk2 with mk2b front and normal rear????

There were some new Mk2's on ebay that were headed for Japan but the ship had a fire and so they never got delivered due to potential smoke damage or something. So you could buy one and register it as a 55...

The Mk2b came out in 2003, and as stated above, the 5dr has no extra relectors by the lights. It does (like the 3dr) have them on the rear bumper though.

With the Punto HGT at the top of the thread on an 02 plate, I'd guess it had some front end damage and they fixed it with new Mk2b parts - lights, bonnet, bumper and wings.

Or maybe the owner wanted to make it look like a new shape one, as a sort of challenge to see if he could maybe.

Odd

most people prefer the front of the mk2, and the rear of the mk2b, not the other way around
