Re: 1PuntoCarl2's Progress thread!

Looks nice, good luck with the mods.

My sister front ended her punto (same as yours) so we got colour coded bumpers too, they look soo much better don't they (y) And you cant tell the difference!!
 
Re: 1PuntoCarl2's Progress thread!

i've been quoted 200 for:

boot dent pulled out

all of the passenger side resprayed

or 300 for:

all the above

wing mirrors colour coded
boot lock welded out
rear windscreen wiper took off and welded out

side strips took of
and debadged

Re: 1PuntoCarl2's Progress thread!

£300 a bargain!!, Good to see more mk2 5dr puntos gettin some time & money spent on them, Keep posting pics as you get the work done (y)
 
Re: 1PuntoCarl2's Progress thread!

yea i think its rare to see a good looking 5 door, especially a completely smooth 5 door ;)

i was thinking to myself, becuase this car has only done 37k miles, im going to be keeping it for a good few years, untill i finish uni. so i might aswell spend money on it making it look good and stand out.

then of course i'll give it to my lil brother and get a decent car on finance when i get a decent job after i graduate :D.

so good times :D.



i'll try get some pics of the workin progress, but it might be quite hard as i wont actually be doing the work. but i can guarentee it'll look alot better than now. :D
 
Re: 1PuntoCarl2's Progress thread!

£300 sounds like a really good price for all that work, i would go for it :)
 
Re: 1PuntoCarl2's Progress thread!

depends what you mean by crap tbh if its tar etc. get some AG tar remover or even better some BH Surfex HD then clay it hopefully this should sort the roof.

as for the stone chips if down to bare metal touch up pen jobby, dry, then polish it down level and sort it out.

not a bad job for an hour....dear god mine would take a heck longer....
 
Re: 1PuntoCarl2's Progress thread!

thanks for that ninja, are you on about those pens in halfords? because i have been thinking about gettin the colour that matches mine to do the bonnet. but i dont know the proper process to make it look quality.

i'll get the work done to my car first, e.g the smoothed boot/smoothed sides/colour coded bump strips/wing mirrors and then i'll colour the bonnet in. :D

what process do i use? its already done to bare metal so i dont think i'll need to sand or w/e. but do you have a step by step guide i could use?

thanks, Carl.
 
Re: 1PuntoCarl2's Progress thread!

i would personally go to fiat for the touch up pens for the chips ironically there cheaper or were for me ~8 quid....

guide wise when there down to bare metal you fill the chip, and using erm wet and dry sand back down, polish away the marks on the clear coat and wax over heres a nice DW guide of the full process though : -

if you are good enough though you can avoid some effort by simply getting the paint to fill the chip flat as you can to avoid some heartache later....

its not tar as such, its more like hardened bird **** lmao...

it won't come off with the 2 bucket method, would i need some AG gunk remover or something like that?
