i know someone that is breaking a sporting, i can ask him how much he wants for the dials if you want?

Ye i would appreciate that thanks :)
And on the wheels and the steering wheel. The only reason i really wanted to go for that was because of the red trim trying to incorporate as much red as possible keep some colour in it :) But i will have a look at some sporting steering wheels. The arbath alloys are a bit out of my price range

Yeah, if you want a red theme i would advise getting some red led footwell lights, all you do is buy a strip of red leds and wire them to your interior light, theres a guide on the forum, the main thing i dont like about that steering wheel is you will loose your airbag, also you can always paint your centre console, i think theres a guide for that aswell, i would say the sporting wheels are the best option to go for because the tyres are cheap and you dont have to worry about them not fitting, they just bolt straight on, for my wheels i had to get 16 new wheel bolts (which i think you might have to get for yours but theyre not expensive) i had to get some 15mm spacers for the rear (which were £55 for two!!!) and the tyres are expensive because theyre 16 inch.
I wouldnt get halo headlights because ive heard alot of problems about them, they look good but the adjusters dont work or go wrong, and theyre not as good quality as the standard ones, a Hid kit is cheaper and theyre not too hard to fit, i think theres a guide for that aswell!! :)

Well i have done 1 side getting that glue off is a real pain! i think i might have went about it to fast. the back panel looks perfect really happy but the long front panel still has a lot of adhesive to come off tried everything!:bang: any tips?

Use WD40 and either a credit card or being very careful use a flat head screwdriver with lots of WD40 and then get scrubbing away.

As for spoiler look at getting a sporting spoiler - like the one i have on my car, as for angel eyes/halo rings i have them and they are no problem what so ever and give out more light than my other lights. :)

Ye i have thought about the footwell lights look really good im not the best at wiring but doesnt hurt to try :)
And ye i will look into some sporting alloys but i havent seen any i like just yet. I am not planning on a crash so the air bag isnt really bothering me haha i know things happen but im just not sure if that steering wheel will go with the interior of the punto so i have looked into some sporting ones.

I have all the adhesive off its just a fine layer all the way around now that isnt really visible but i notice it and dont know how to get rid of it.
Good to hear about the angel eyes because i really do like them
 
sorry for double posting but ive just hit another problem (n) i have bought a fascia for my headunit but i cant get the headunit in the whole way it seems like a wire or something may be blocking it but i cant find anything!:mad:

Yeah I had the same problem with mine, i had to take the dials out, to try and pull the wires from behind the head unit, it was really fiddly!!
 
TaylorHmk2 said:
You could try and tape/cable tie all the wires together so that the go down behind the head unit, if that doesnt work the other option is to take the dials out and try and get your hand down behind the head unit and pull the cables.

sounds like its going to be a lot of fun. maybe i should wait until i have the new dials so i can do both at the same time?

Its really easy to remove the dials, theres x4 4mm alan bolts and x3 3mm alan bolts then it comes out, youll have to adjust the steering wheel all the way down and dont unplug the dials because youll loose the time :)
 
ah right thanks man! i have some alan keys sitting here that will do the job. the time on my dash is wrong anyway because i killed the battery fitting the sub haha! havent looked how to adjust it yet
