Brighter bulbs possibly HID's
Remove bump strips
Smooth bumpers
Smooth bonnet
Front splitter (subtle one like a stilo splitter)
Paint my drums and calipers black
Remap
Matt black sun strip
Few exterior vinyls
Remove vinyl from door pillars
New exhaust because my other one is rusty as hell
Full respray when i can afford it (not sure what colour)
And a few other tiny things like cracked interior plastics but thats not a major thing right now

Re: FiatAndy's Mk2 Punto

Yeah sorry heres a few pics i have atm

And i will be putting some photoshopped pics up in a bit for an idea what i want the tints and wheels to look like
And i recieved my tint spray today but its only a 150ml can and im not sure if that will cover both rear lights and my side repeaters Anyone else have the e-tech lens tint spray 150ml and how much did one can cover?
I might spray my lights tomorrow because im at work later today and if it takes a while to do i dont want to not be able to get to work later lol

yh mate 1 can and i did both my rear lights and had some spare in can...leave them over night to dry properly...the spray is very thin so light layers takes about 10 light layers to get dark dnt do too much on a layer as it will run bad like mine did first time.


and oh yeah nice car mate

Thats what i was wanting to hear just glad i dont have to buy another can cos it wasnt cheap but the cheapest i could find! what you think i should put over the gaping holes that i will leave when i remove my lights for the night lol and btw, how do i remove the lights? haha that would probably help!

And cheers man!

Re: FiatAndy's Mk2 Punto

This is what i want my car to look like eventually but lowered and no bump strips and no door vinyl but you get the idea of what its gonna look like when i can afford it



And also sorry for the bad photoshopping on the rear lights lol

Re: FiatAndy's Mk2 Punto

Plans for today, i recieved my 2 neon tubes for the boot today so im gonna wire and fit them, remove the door vinyl and then hopefully if the weather stays as it is remove the bump strips and if i do get round to doing them i will post pictures up asap
And also ive just been quoted £120 to tint all 3 back windows as dark as i want professionally but im not sure if thats cheap or what? What do you guys think?

Re: FiatAndy's Mk2 Punto

Plans look good mate and im not sure on tinting prices to be honest with ya, like i said mate lower and ur half way there

[JustAndy]

Re: FiatAndy's Mk2 Punto

how low?

just 35mm because the roads round here are terrible and i still want a spine

 

[JustAndy]

Re: FiatAndy's Mk2 Punto

Right so today i managed to wire up my boot neons and remove the door vinyl but didnt get chance to get rid of my bump strips but thats gonna be another day, still got a little bit of wire tidying up left to do with my neons but i can do that tomorrow as well as fix them properly. Thought id put some pics up but sorry that you can barely see anything in the first picture just that my camera wouldnt focus any closer.

Re: FiatAndy's Mk2 Punto

Also im going with a blue and black 'theme' on my car so the plastic bits on my bumper i want as black as possible so would i use a 'back to black' or should i go all out and spray them? i think it will look okay with a black mesh in my bumper as well i hope What do you think?

Starting to sound paranoid lol tbh its alot of hassle painting your bump strips black for something that no one will notice. just use the back to black stuff and black mesh will look fine i need some, weres everyone been getin it from?

Also i was qouted £60 just for the rear to be tinted so gives you a comparison.

i only wanna do that until i can afford genuine abarth kit
dont sure but theres a lot on ebay that ive seen floating around for pretty good prices but im all spent for this month now lol so looks like il have to wait a while before anything else gets done lol
Where did you get quoted that much?! lol i feel that my £120 quote was a bit steep now!
Was that for all 3 back windows?
