Styling The Great Conversion.

[cjchalmers]

Hi all.

I have a Fiat Punto MK2B Active Sport and a (probably over-ambitious) idea to swap the front end with that of a MK2A.

Has anyone tried this before?
if so, do you have any tips?

If I do go ahead and try, I will try update this as often as I can.

Hi

I prefer the look of the earlier cars, so can appreciate the effort

It's obviously still a 188 build,
but you may still need 20+ components

A Donor car is the obvious choice

8 years ago they were a £50 purchase..
Not so easy now


Tell us more about your current car and your plan

I think the slam panel was different between the mk2 and the mk2b the headlight wiring will almost certainly be different nothing is impossible this should be relatively easy but you’d have to declare it to your insurance company and make your insurance cost a fortune when really all you’ve done is made the car look older and less valuable

Thank you everyone for reaching out to help, after giving it a lot of thought and doing a lot of research, I wrote the car off.

oops, maybe in another universe.

A shame,
but it may well have been twisted enough to be a "shadow of its former self"
