Agreed!!Very beautiful , except for these...Also , if you're willing to spend money on it , some buckets would look cool!
The Punto Mk1 one is a real Italian car. Fairly compact, looking great, quite some performance for what it is and quite a versatile car.
Shame that quite a few went to car heaven with the scrappage scheme.
Good that you keep it. This car will be soon a real classic.

Brake pads & disks, rear shoes and cylinders, handbrake cables, clutch slave cylinder, new powerflow exhaust system (being fitted this week), all fluids been changed, oil change, new wishbone, radius arms, bonnet hinges, alternator, new timing belt & tensioner, ht leads, spark plugs, ignition coils, lambda sensor, K&N air filter... and the list goes on.

Well done corky, the 55s is a solid little car as long as it is looked after (Puntos are cheap, so a lot of cheap people buy them, maintain them cheaply (i.e. not at all) and then assume they are rubbish because they broke down)
Earlier this year, my £495 55s required about £800 of work including a new gearbox and clutch. People were saying I should just get another car, but for that £305 extra, I got to keep MY car which I knew had a good clutch and gearbox after the work, and has been looked after. I didn't even contemplate the scrappage scheme, and ordered for the work to be done straight away.

Looks tidy, however lose the tatt, get some smoked rear lights for a more OEM look, remove the seat covers, perhaps put a GT interior in?
