Re: the Abarth trim mats, I bought these: Punto Mk2 Abarth Mats

The only quibble I have with them is that the drivers one moves around a lot, and my feet always catch on the lip of the centre rectangle bit. Oh, and for some reason the rear mat behind the drivers door doesn't fit. The mat comes like it does in the picture, but the 'hole' is rectangular, nowhere for that sticky-out bit to go, unlike the passenger side :s

I have a black beesting aerial that I bought, and I honestly thought it was crap. Signal was very sketchy and rarely got a good lock on a station. You can have it see how you get on with it but I suspect you'll be going on eBay to buy the genuine one, as I did.

I agree with you JackieBoy92, but even if you take those off, the boot is still quite busy.. What with the rear wiper, badge and boot lock, but every little helps I suppose!!

haha yeah i suppose mate,but you can always put a grommet in place of the wiper if you didnt want it there like i did,but then again i dont mind mine looking a little chavvy and i can tell that you boys want a nice elegant car haha

Yes good point! With it being a black car, the grommet won't be quite so obvious! Will gave me one months ago but I never de-wipered because being a yellow car, a random black circle would look a bit odd, so I didn't bother. You can have it if you want to do that though.

Indeed we do!

Re: mk2b Sporting 16v

Yeah, it's a no go for me, the Sporting badge stays for sure.

As it stands, realistically, the only thing I want to do to my car before it is perfect is tint the rear 3. And that is basically it. Nothing else I do to it will make it look nicer, may paint the calipers and drums in black or something, and some other minor non visual tweaks.

Actually saying that is a lie. I'd love some new badges... but getting them is easier said than done. I like the idea of Abarth badges, or, as Chris said, something very simple with a deep red background and a white scorpion would be brilliantly classy. Maybe we could look into custom made ones? Must be pricey though!

It's not to say I don't like having the rear end clear. If I had a 1.2 active sport or something, they'd be gone in an instant. But, I don't, and quite frankly, I want to show it off

Cheers

edit: just went and had a measure. 94 or 95 mil diameter(had a straight rule ), back and front same size. Let's have a google

i agree with most of that but dont buy abarth badges, because its not an abarth and theres no abarth fiat punto mk2b lol but i agree with finding badges that are black background with fiat in white, they would sute your car alot better , i beg you to look on ebay at black'd out side reapeaters, they are 100% legal and will make ur car look alot better just by spending 5 quid! , like i said before do the frount calipers in red and the back break disks in black amorite. then upload some piccccyyyss

Re: mk2b Sporting 16v

You can spray your fiat badge black, the middle can be pulled out. Then sand back the blue, and spray black.

this is the kinda thing ur looking for, these will fit on your car because these are what i bought and i have an mk2b but they are way to expensive dont spend over 10 quid including carriage or ur getting ripped off just keep an eye out

Re: mk2b Sporting 16v

I see. Will have a look out for some

cheers

Re: mk2b Sporting 16v

if that fails... just buy a tin of savage or e-tech tint spray... only costs a fiver from ebay and u can do it urself easily, could even tint ur rear lights in the process if that floats ur boat.

Re: mk2b Sporting 16v

Ok, some more pics! Got my floor mats today (well, yesterday now), and a new aerial.









Going to see what a debadged front grille looks like, think it may be nice.

Re: mk2b Sporting 16v

whats happened to your seats? they seem to have gone a bit 1980s

Re: mk2b Sporting 16v

It's the mats! They're so bright they pulled away all of the light or something..! The mats are quite a lot brighter than the seats, but the seats are not that colour in person, much brighter. Probably a bad angle too.

holy ****, get black sport seat covers asap ;p

Love that you've covered up the ghastly head unit!!

The seats do look very... brown in that picture, not really sure why.
Badgeless grill will look good I reckon!

The seats are fine, the pic just drew all the light on the mats because they are brighter than the sun!!!

Not going to lie, it's the worst colour of seats I think, would much prefer black on black, but I can't have everything, and the yellow is fine really, Im just very picky. Plus, you can't see them when you're driving

I'm not sure whether to order a grille... or wait until you don't like yours and you sell it to me, saving me buying one from Germany.. What do you think?

See what it looks like on first, pictures often look very different to the flesh. Neither of us may like it!!

Plus I think if I'm going to vinyl the front (A3 style) then it might be too much black, in which case I'd keep a badged one.

So best to wait

id personally probz get black abarth badges if i had a black mk2b , just cos they look awsome

Funny you should say that... MrChris just fitted a black abarth badge to the rear of his... I want to see it in person first (monday) then I'll see if that is an idea. The fiat badges get water stained and faded in the sun too, so it's probably worth changing them sooner or later.

Ok Chris, will wait Front vinyl would look good!

mind you id get rid of the sporting badge if your having an abarth rear badge, would look stupid

Nice and clean!!
