Posts: 14,417 Thanks: 702 Trader Rating: 0 | Re: Punto HGT mk2b 1.8 16V By all accounts it will work, but be VERY careful. Can you cut the backing plastic instead of the plastic? If you must cut the glass, tape it up as you cut so the partly cut lens cant move and shatter. Replace the head light motors while on the case. They seem to fail easily.

They seem to fail easily. Just dont actually know what glue to use, i've used a 2 component glue and then over a heat resistant silicone. Will see I must check for some other heat resistant glue.

Posts: 14,417 Thanks: 702 Trader Rating: 0 | Re: Punto HGT mk2b 1.8 16V The lamps don't get that hot so no need to worry about heat resistant adhesive. Just use the right product for the plastics to be glued. My MKII HGT is an Abarth - black with very blacked out rear windows. The only trim fuaxpas is the twin (Peco) exhausts that are just too big. A previous owner (nark) has cut the bottom of the rear bumper to get them in. Long term I'll fit smaller outlets that go through the holes in the bumper. It might need a new bumper, but as said thats long term stuff
