so its not even a practicle car then.

it looks good but imo is a waste of money. if it was me i'd raise it a little bit, but each to there own.

I agree on the practicality part of things but I wouldn't say a waste of money due to the fact they are coilovers, adjustable!

Re: Atticus's Mk2b Punto conversion!

Here we go fellas.....

Couple of snaps from last week and this week just to keep you updated!

Got a photo-shoot lined up for next week hopefully aswell depending on the weather!

Re: Atticus's Mk2b Punto conversion!

Re: Atticus's Mk2b Punto conversion!

top stuff, can honestly say i have never seen porsche cookie-cutters on a fiat before, i always want some of them when i had my vw beetle, never did i ever think oh i'll just whack them on a fiat instead.. top work
Defo needs a debadged front end IMO.
I just couldn't have a car that low, theres a speed bump literally at the bottom of my driveway

Re: Atticus's Mk2b Punto conversion!

Cheers guys!

Im near enough 100% Sure i was the first to put porsche wheels on a fiat!
Closely followed by someone with a Grande who put D90's on!

Re: Atticus's Mk2b Punto conversion!

what work was needed to get them on??

Re: Atticus's Mk2b Punto conversion!

I can't understand how you managed to convert a mk2 to a 2b?! Wouldn't you need new wings, lights, bonnet, bumpers, tailgate and etc etc Or am I missing something here

Well theres not alot of work needed to get them on really, you just need to spend abit of money.

For example i needed a 4x98 - 5x130 hub pcd adapter which retail at £170 a pair so thats £340 just the get the correct stud pattern.

Then there was arch rolling etc

End result speaks for itself tho!

I got them from 'Innov8' its not slang its how its spelt with the number 8 lol
They are in birmingham and are a good price!

Re: Atticus's Mk2b Punto conversion!

**update**

Me and a friend gave my car a hell of a detail over the weekend and the results were stunning, i had it detailed at xquisite but there was still some orange-peely bits so we invested in a superb polisher and all the gear to do it ourselves.

Started by washing it ofcourse then flatted it down and polished the ******** out of it, clayed it then finihsed with 3 coats of wax.

Results were fantastic but you cant fully appriciate them from these pictures!

Here we go anyway:

Re: Atticus's Mk2b Punto conversion!

nout more satisfying than a shiny car, i just can never be bothered. Each of my cars have only ever been washed a few times since i bought them and i'm yet to polish any of them

cool i just found them on ebay, are they legal with the "I" on them, if not have you been stopped at all or do you just use them for show?

Re: Atticus's Mk2b Punto conversion!

just read they are for show use only, the font was pretty much invisible on their listing lol, hav you been stopped for them? cars looking nice and clean btw

Re: Atticus's Mk2b Punto conversion!

cheers mate

nahr i havnt been stopped for them and ive been followed by police on many occasions if you have the correct font spacing then there shouldnt be a problem!

Re: Atticus's Mk2b Punto conversion!

i know a few people who have these, don't think any of them have been stopped over them. But they aren't technically legal, saying that neither are mine as they have an abarth logo instead of GB. Never had anything said about them either though

Re: Atticus's Mk2b Punto conversion!
