Punto (Mk2/2b) Smokey's Broom Yellow 1.2 16v Active Sport

[karbineftw]

Well this week I went on a camping trip............car had some highs and lows.

We went on our annual trip to Shell Island, in Barmouth and to get there there is a mountain called Dinas Mawdwy (i think thats how its spelled), the car absolutely flew up it, what a difference 8 extra valves make.

And as far as twisty Welsh roads go, the car handles like a dream, plently of overtaking oppertunities with people towing caravans and with an average consumption of 52mpg who can complain.

However a brick chip (not a stone chip, this thing was huge like a rock, we saw it coming) hit the bottom of the windscreen and it split top to bottom, being fixed tomoz. And the battery died due to playing Metallica and BFMV all evening without starting the car :bang: was drunk and forgot.

Other than that it performed really well, first long journey in the thing at I think there may be many more

Great news. Glad you found it good! I want an extra 8 valves. Might come and take yours through the night like a ninja. lol
However. If you were playing BFMV's latest album I will go straight off you, your car doesn't need that cheese. lol

Well the car is guarded at night by pirates so good luck with the theft

And as far as the BFMV album goes there was no cheese......Scream Aim and Fire :slayer:

Haha. You got any plans for her soon?

wondered where you gone... PS comp gone down the pan without you lol

Scream Aim Fire is awsome, I think the locals liked it too...........not!

Plans atm are to get her fixed up and cleaned, then I am saving for either 40mm coilovers or to get the alloys done in anthracite with a yellow lip and center caps. Money is tight atm though with holidays and all so progress will be slow.

Yeah love all the little fiat engines they all perfom well against their similar sized hatchback counterparts.

As for the PS comp, PM me an image and we will get that little beaut up and running again.

EDIT: Ignore that last bit just saw the new comp, will get the link to the new one in my sig. Cheers for keeping it alive

Currently working two days a week and no uni as its finished, not the best situation money wise but means I have bucket loads of spare time, you sorted that amp remote out yet?

Nah but after reading a lot of threads on here I think I have a solution!

Surely you can just link it to the cigarette lighter or the electric window switch?

Basically all it needs is a 12v feed that comes on with the ignition, so either of the above would work surely.

Anyway, all thats for a different thread.

As for the car its been another good/bad day. New windscreen is in and cost nothing near the £450 autoglass were trying to rob me off
However I need a touch up pen, came back to the car today to find a nice big black mark on the rear bumper will get a pic up tomoz.

Imola yellow or Broom yellow, that is the question

 

[smokeyjoe03]

Imola yellow or Broom yellow, that is the question

Neither, its aged paint so it will be specially made up to match

However I get what you mean and I may be about to take out my fork to eat some pie, the humble kind

 

[smokeyjoe03]

Ok two weeks later and finally had the weather for a quick wash and wax, the car is yellow again instead of the mustard colour all the crap had turned it



Doesn't look too bad, still chuffed to bits with how it drives.

And here is a picture of that scuff, its in such an awkward place right on the edge of the bumper, might get a body shop to do it as touch ups never look as good, just gotta get some funds together first......



.....talking of bumpers, still ain't found a front one

You should tidy your amp up instead of having it bang in the middle. Why not self tapper it to the top of the sub or to the back seats?

nothing wrong with it @ the mo ...........looks well good !

Just my personal preference I guess.

 

[mk2 punto aj]

thats what its all about mate ....

 

[smokeyjoe03]

Just my personal preference I guess.

Got it in one there mate.....

.......However I may need a replacement soon, my sub needs replacing and depending on the RMS so may my amp.

Ok here we go, I have finally looked at the paint code and managed to find exatly what i was looking for......

COLOUR: Giallo Ginestra HWB
CODE: 258
W/E THE ONE UNDERNEATH MEANS: Deltron - Lacrit


Forgive me if I am infact wrong but Fiat paint code 258 is Broom Yellow

The only reason i looked it up is because I may finally have a bumper...........watch this space

 

[smokeyjoe03]

Thanks to Mikey2k7 off puntoMK2 and sdb-punto this happened



Now after my holiday money is all saved up its just a matter of getting it sprayed Broom Yellow to match the rest of the car and we are finally back to standard:slayer:

(then I can really start playing with it)
