Punto (Mk2/2b) Out with the old, in with the new (my punto mk2a progress thread).

Introduction

unfortunatly on fri 13th of all days i crashed my car :(
in the wet.
i wasnt speeding but the back end slid out as i was leavin a corner(bend in the road).
tryed controling it but it started snakin.managed to avoid all the oncoming traffick.but hit a parked car with the side of mine wich caterpulted me into the curb witch ripped the tire off the rim and that spun me into a 360 spin wich i managed to controle as the back end was lifting up i stopped it from roling onto the roof.im well gutted
i realy am devistated as id just got it to look how i wanted it.
but it could have been a lot worse. i could have hit the oncoming cars or roled it but i manged to avoid both with quick thinking.
i was unhurt. just realy shook up. (n)

Re: Out with the old, in with the new (my punto mk2a progress thread)

well first time i used normal clear silicone and a bit of nomore nails ultra bond stuff and they stuck realy well. up untill few weeks back. so used tiger seal and that hasnt lasted at all. now iv got some super strong silicone i got from a builders site lol (not robbed) and its a redish pink so any smudging wont look a mess lol. but got 2 tubes so now they having a full tube of silicone each lol rather than a quater/ half each lol.

theres this saxo that comes by me and hes really really low and its so funny watching him go over the speed humps.his side skirts come off all the time:D but he had some sort of clip and he just shoves them back on
 
Re: Out with the old, in with the new (my punto mk2a progress thread)

couple of pics. window one is oldish. also pics of fogs installed on bumper (yes i know grass needed cutting lol) will get some more pics when side skirts etc are sorted lol. the second daylight pic (with the fogs installed) if you look just to the right of the left headlight you can see a bit of the dint on the bonnet which was a glass bottle.but lucky no paint scratch or chip.

halfords for £40 with wires and switch. i cut the holes in my bumper myself with a jigsaw and just slowly opend them up till they fit in nice and tight. then tiger seald arround the edges inside and out. was a ball ake realy as when i fit my bumper back on the car one of them popped back out and was a mission to put back in as a beam on the car was pushing it out so had to take the braket off the light itself and there was enough clearence. wiring diagram was ****e and had to work it out myself. there wired up to my lighter soket and im using the switch provided.
