Grande Punto About time

[Mr Mayoh]

it is indeed on fk coil overs but i haven't wound them down too much, only wanted to eliminate arch gap at the front, ive not got round to sort them out yet, im raising the back a little bit and lowering front soon but im not going silly until weather gets nicer and ive got new tyres and alloys

Not had a proper update in a bit...cause I've had no time to do anything! But I'm now thinking of not debadging the grill but instead getting the new red badge and spraying it anthracite the same as my rear? I've never been a fan of the badgeless grill on my colour and they both work out the same price (if I get the grill from fk, IF) so I'm unsure. Grill will be getting sprayed anthracite either way!

 

[Cairnsy]

I actually have an update! Haha and you'll never believe I got my mudflaps on!
Not the clearest picture but...

Tried drilling the screw out and ended up pushing the screw through the plastic wheel arch! Turns out there was no chance of me getting the screw out...was completely hacked

And to make it better the washers provided with the screws didnt even fit!

Managed to get one mud flap on without even undoing the screw on wheel liner, just pried it open a bit and shoved the flap in! So frustrating since it was so easy :bang:
But they're on, and im happy

I love the punto mudflaps but I just don't think I'd be able to fit them and they'd be a waste of money

Yeah i got mine on week or so ago. Again, a doddle aren't they...we were both just unlucky first time around i think. When i had a second go at it i had it done within an hour. Couldn't believe my luck.

They make the rear of the car look so much cleaner, leaner and fat. Which is ALL a good thing! I love them. The front for me though drag everywhere, and getting on my driveway each and every time makes my heart sink as you hear them bending/dragging haha.

Was the 'Punto' part of your rears white in the first place? They are black on mine, and i've considered given them a little red spruce up...but yours are white already:yum:

Also, the screws provided with washers do fit. Perfectly, you just have to hold the washer with a clamp and screw the screw in whilst holding the washer, goes on all the way down nice and easy. Its just really tight to hold with your finger tips. Impossible with your fingers even, but with a screwdriver and pliers its easy

They're ridiculously easy! One side I never even had to take the screw out, just pried it open a bit and went in no bother! Ouch never nice to hear anything scraping
Nah they come black, I just used a white tyre art pen to colour in the punto bit red would look different! Haha

If you have to struggle to get them on then why not make the hole a tiny bit bigger to fit the screw perfectly haha! I just used some spares that i had lying about.

Glad to hear you got yours on though! Completely change the rear, considering theres not a lot you can do to the back....I love them

 

[Magic Johnson]

Don't like the flaps.

 

[Cairnsy]

Don't like the flaps.

Personal choice i know they're a bit like marmite but I think they just change the look of the back, was a bit plain before

you should be an H4 mate, H1 means it has 1 connecting prong on the bulb, H7 has two and H4 has the three, have a look first just by taking the connecting socket off the bulb, if it has three holes, its H4

jst gone to fit my bulbs turns out theres two prongs and not three so basically all the bulbs i bought are useless haha

You knob! I told you to go check before you bought them haha, plenty of cars have H4 bulbs so ask around if you're wanting to sell them on

Right well I've finally got round to doing my custom badge, I sanded it down and sprayed it, only to find the spray paint has reacted with the silver on the fiat wording and gone all flakey :/ so now the full badge is anthracite, need to start again!

This was the reason why I stripped the entire badge mate
