I think the glitter is to do with a paint option, It has some more obvious damage these days such as 2 dents in the roof I haven't managed to remove after somebody decided to use my roof as a floor Also a dent in the bonnet from it too

Car is at the MOT test center at the minute so not sure if it's in need of repairs or not but I'm going to guess it is

Same Colour and modle as mine hehe but iv made the mistake of "chavvin" it up... badboy exhaust, 15" alloys. looks quite tidy actualy, but recently had a new door, and front wing because some LUNATIC bricked it... New psnger side door includin window, new wing, Primed and sprayed for 50quid !!! was well pleased and now looks like new

Thats something I'v been contemplating, I have a string of dents that line up with the last owners steps along both doors, rather than buy door cards perhaps I should just get the whole doors with them in!

Hiya man!
Realy good condition outside how the engine run? Hopfly perfect?!
Yours white Punto is fantastic material for visual tunning
Many. many options to do!!!
Finger crossed you will update this small white angel
What do think to put sicker Angel on back window and tinted??? And call your Fiat Angel with 100 BHP + Nitro Bottle???
All the best

Hi Slawek,

the body work isn't as good as the camera proclaims it to be, there's lots of small touch-ups I need to carry out (dents, stone chips etc)

Engine has been nothing but a dream even with problems such as leaking thermostat gasket, leaking core plug and a suicidal tensioner. All of which have been long fixed

Personally I aren't a fan of Angel/Lexus/Morrett light's front or back on the Mk1 Punto

Power modifications are a bit of a grey area at the minute, got my insurance renewal in under a month and I'm still under 21 so we shall see what the insurance company want for what modifications. I hope to at least get fog lights on it with an update to the policy

Not sure a nitro bottle attached would be appropriate for the 95 mile trip I do almost every day during term time but would make it go a little faster and getting onto the A50 easier if I can rope in the wheelspin it already produces stock :chin:

Oh and new 2 new tyres before the end of January need to be purchased too, will update the pictures next time I get chance to clean the car properly

Looks a pretty clean punto to start on.

I drive a Punto as well, but it's a sporting and yellow. Have to agree Lexus lights really don't suit the punto at all, rather have them smoke tinted.

Get some more pictures up!

Unfortunately I won't have any real time for about a fortnight, currently looking at options with my exhaust now its developed a crack, need to find where it is and look at my options from there, amonngst stripping the dash out and getting to work!

how abaout now?? any updates yet?

I unfortunately have had a hectic few months, I am currently in university 9 till 5:45 plus about 2 hours commuting and have been for the past 2 months, Saturdays are eaten by archery leaving Sundays.

Managed to clean the car some and replace 2 of the 4 tyres, need a new flexi-section in the exhaust due to there being a hole in it at the top; sounds like a petrol tractor . At worst I replace the whole exhaust (don't think its worth getting a performance exhaust personally). Also the radiator is weeping slightly but nothing serious.

I have a few bits around ready to go in, just need to get enough time to do it, on the plus side I finish from uni in a months time

Anyone experienced in treating rust spots?

On the photography side, the car has now been featured in a Human Factors essay I had to hand in today, isn't my life exciting?

remember when you do update, photos must be hosted in the gallery

I know Dave, I will also re-host the images further up in the gallery at the same time. Didn't spot the no off-site hosting comments when I was making this thread originally.

nic and tidy that mate love the colour should be simple to colour match if u do any body repairs

Just had the new exhaust fitted, nothing special but at least I don't sound like a tractor anymore!
