Punto (Mk2/2b) Mi Grigio mk2

Introduction

2nd Time Lucky ;)

So I thought its about time I posted one of these up! Been a bit of a rollercoaster so far... Needed a new sump and 2 new rear hubs, but she's just about there! This is Fiat #2, the first being a Cinquecento! Here's a few pics:







Thats how she stayed until just last week when I bought some alloys for her for the bargain price of £120 with good tyres! Im happy with that!



Here they are, Just standard mk2 Alloys I'm told, but I like them! 14" Goodness :p

Fitted TODAY :D



Plans that remain are refurb the alloys... Maybe paint the rim blue (See below pic!), but thats just a pipeline idea.. Colour coded bumpers, mirrors and door handles, remove the rubstrip, upgrade the front speakers to some good Pioneer ones, maybe fit a sub... Then look into tinting the rear windows and lowering a touch. I think that'll be all for her :)






Thanks for looking! :slayer:

Chris.
I'm a full member of the IAM (Institute of Advanced Motorists, google them!). Because I took the test, I became an 'advanced driver' which allows me to use their insurance policy... Which apparently should give me a massive discount.. but we'll see what happens! :)
 
Naaaah, hit the sales didnt I? Those lowering springs were also a bargain at the same price as the speakers ;)

Speaking of, They got fitted today, and are HIGHLY recommended!



Of course, they're in the speaker grilles so you cant see them :p muahaha!

Also, took the car for a wash today... Couldnt be bothered to do it myself so Arc did it (only drive through one worth using imo) and took a quick snap :)




Tomorrow: Detango side repeaters and test fit HIDs (y)
 
Why bother waiting to renew your insurance, you not seriously going to put this down as a modified car are you?

I'm not gonna be told my insurance is void if I have an accident for not declaring anything I do, so yes, I am. Now if you'd kindly click the back button and leave (y)

Anywhom!

Speakers are Pioneer TS-G1702i and before the sale were 49.99 from Halfords apparently... I'd definately say get some if you can!

The springs arent on yet, which is why its looking high lol

I did detango the repeaters today, and got some new valve caps..But didnt get time to test the HIDs :(
 
hmm... im not to keen on side repeaters - just looks like a bulb is sticking out the side of the car now - should tint them with tinted rear lights (y)

when you getting the springs and HId's fitted?

Fair comment :) Im not a fan of tinted lights.. I cant see it happening Im afraid!

Probably March, but Im tempted to ring the robbing ba- insureres even... And find out what it'd cost me to fit them now....

(y)
 
No need to be cheeky,im just stating that you wouldnt have to put it down as modified, geeez!
Don't be a prat. You ARE modifying the car so it would be classed as modified.. no matter what you think (probably lambo doors, bad boy bonnet lol) - it is classed as modified

Car's looking good dude. Can't wait to see it at meet.
 
what a c0ck

chrizzlephaa; nice car btw matey


Leave him be, we had a word over PM and he didnt mean his first post to sound as it did.. He just meant is it really worth declaring anything... Then realised the springs/HIDs would need declaring so it all got sorted (y)

Thanks for the comment, its starting to come together :D I think Im gonna focus on colourcoding next tho (y)

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanywhooo :p

Just 5 mins ago bought this:
300578764_tp.jpg


So that'll be painted and fitted within a few weeks!

Springs will be fitted soooon!!!! Cant wait, should make those alloys look a lil less lost! I'm considering new shocks too.. Can anyone confirm wether Sporting shocks are shorter than basic puntos?

This week: Im painting my wing mirrors, but not CCing :eek:

Come payday I think Ill look for a CC front bumper.. We'll see how much I get!

Ermmm.... Pioneer HU has been put in, which is lovely, red illumination which really goes with the standard dash lights...

And I cant remember if I mentioned it, but its got Sporting clocks in there too! Just need to get the milage sorted on them! Ill get pics up this week too as soon as things have been done!

OH! And there's something new on the tailgate too! :p

Chris out (y)
