PUNTO 1.jpg

Punto (Mk2/2b) Euro Abarth :P

Introduction

Heres some pics of my Fiat Mk2 Punto Abarth Ive had since Sept 2011.

Got some big plans to get it up to show car status with some personal touches included to give it that unique look :D

Anyways heres some pics on the first day i got it

Overall good bodywork few scratches but nothing obvious and two small dents on front bonnet where badge is smoothed over but overall great car :D
Looks nice, but i dont see how that is euro :confused:
Smooth bonnet is a start but its not low enough and theres a lot of sticky outy bits everywhere
 
Yeah Ive always wanted one of these since I was young just love the styling ! Still doubters always saying FIAT'S are fix it again tomorrows but thats just rubbish i say !
 
Anyways heres some pics ofthe car with the hood up the day after I got it. Just checking the bay for any tell tale signs of problems but touch wood nothing i could see ! Also planning some future mods to give it a little bit more go !

So quickly thought about some updates to the exterior and started first on getting rid of those horrible tailights and exchanging them for some lovely MK2B ones :D

So before :

Got a bit bored after a while and decided to break up some of the colour starting with the front area so a trip down to halfords and some spray cans later looked something like this...:

STILLLLL not seeing anything even remotely Euro. Clear lights + smooth bonnet does not equal Euro :(

agreed, it needs to be slammed to the floor deep dish alloys with stretched tyres and i think you missed a trick with the front bumper paint job

also i seem to be the only person who has noticed this car isn't an Abarth !! its a 1.2 with a body kit !!?

One final thing buddy, please, please don't keep on quadruple posting. If you have updates, just make them all in a one-r. Nothing more annoying than sifting through a full page of the OP just spamming away with updates.

One final thing, the car has potential; keep it subtle and get the details correct, it has massive potential. You can't go far wrong modifying a silver car (y)

Hahaha sorry im still getting used to the format ! never used a forum before so first time :(

Yeah cars a 1.2 8v but im not clued up on the different punto models.

In the history file I received with the car it was specced with the Abarth bodykit not sure thats normal or not but always a help for the looks in a small engine for insurance reasons :D..

Yes ladiesss be patient I have many pics of the car as it stands now but im slowly teasing my way up MUAHAHAHAHA :D keeep tuned !
 
Got a bit bored and received a stickerbomb for beginners sticker with Fastcar magazine so decided to put it to good use :p

Lovely car buddy! but, merr, that stickbomb looks awful, buy the proper book from amazon for like, £10, trust me, it worth every penny (y)

Everything else, looks rather sexy :cool:
But i agree with Andy, this is Abarth, its just got alloys and a body kit.
Still looks awesome though (y) Keep the pictures coming (y)
