Punto (Mk2/2b) My Punto which i can drive in 10 days YAY!

no comments then ?

how did u get insured on that?

(BTW too many doors)

Looks very nice! First thing I'd do is get it lowered 50mm, unless insurance makes it a problem. Mirrors are already colour coded which is a win!

A new set of plates would freshen it up a bit too! I got some nice plain ones from http://www.platecreator.com/ and some number plate fixers/sticky pads from Halfords to attach them, made it look a lot cleaner.

Some 5 door inspiration...

Tbh seeing as your 17 its best not to do any mod's or your insurance would be way over the top, Cars seems alright the way it is atm but thats just me

Same way i got insured on my stilo when i was 17..... just it was 2k insurance :bang:

Nice car though

£2000 Niice.

I like it as it is, I'd wait a couple of years before modding it majorly. I have known people having a lot of trouble finding someone to insure them being that age. Direct Line won't even insure me if i lower my car by 35mm until I'm 25.

how would i de-badge my car ?

Take your time with modding. Everyone else our age goes straight down to halfords and buys random parts that will bolt onto the car regardless of how p!ss poor it'll look.

As a result you end up with a car that looks like a teenager has bolted bits from halford onto it.

I think, if you're going to mod any car, ESPECIALLY a supermini you need to accept that it's not a drag racer.

Theres nothing worse that seeing a tatty looking 'modded' car with a big sports exhaust and alloys that are too wide/too big.

I'm sure others will agree?

i removed mine with hot water (not boiling) and a credit card

and welcome to jtd ownership

Love that silver 5 door Punto mine is similiar although black handles...My mouldings are off and the car is a little bit cosmetically damaged ....Lovely big scratch on the rear passenger. I have bought a 2003 back door from ebay in same colour I havent matched them up yet I hope it matches.
I will put on and take the dent off. I really have a lot of nicks and bumps and I am a bit worried that my car as had it. What do i need to get mine like that?

really will it just come off with hot water and credit card ? and what does it look like once off is it clean black of is the a hole there or anything ?
