Re: My mk2 punto sporting

Mate have you tried to mount washer jets under the bonnet to the underside of the bonnet?? i think it would work like that seen on another car just need to get the stream right haha

and as for the mesh i dont think that it would restrict anything mate because mesh is pretty thin mostly so less surface area for drag...but i would defo but some mesh because i had my bumper without any for a while and got loads of stones hit the radiator and dint the fins on radiator.

Go for black mesh imo with the yellow puntoi would look good and not as noticeable as silver

Sounds like another good idea will look into it and definitely black

De badged, de locked and removed the rear wiper, leaving in primer till i finish smoothing front bumper so i can paint them all in one go

What did you use to fill the holes for the lock and wiper? Did you take the lock out?

looking good mate

dont you think the front numberplate spoilers the effort of the bumper tho i wasnt wanting to put my plate back on

BTW squeal wont be bearing mate bearing is usually a grinding knocking noise squeal is the bushes mate...spray sum WD40 on them and see if it goes

I still cant beleive how perfect you smooth your car mate well good

Yeah the front plate does spoil it but it was a tempory quick bodge as i had just got it insured 7pm fri night lol so wasnt waiting around!

smoothings ok, its just getting the right colour match for me at the minute the yellow seems to be very difficult as it seems to fade and changes colour every hour lol

And its definitely a bearing lol

Re: My mk2 punto sporting

This looks good now mate now youve sprayed everything and its all smoothed and everything!
How hard is it to change the springs?
Im wanting to do mine but first i need to buy spring compressors but how hard is it to get the shocks off?

Rear springs are the easiest thing you will mechanically do in your life haha just take 2 bolts out (1 either side at bottom of shocker) and the rear axel will drop down far enough for you to just pull the old springs out and pop the new ones in....to refit the axel just jack it up until the shocker holes meet then put bolts back in simple.

Fronts are pretty simple as well on punto's tbh....remove the 2 bolts in the arch that holds the shocker to the hub...just pull off the brake line just slides off the shocker mounting...undo the top bolt under the bonnet and shocker will fall down lol

compress srpings and undo the top shocker bolt...untention the old springs and throw them away then the new spring dont even need compressing well they didnt when i put the exact same springs on lol tighten shocker top bolt...then refit onto car
