Introduction
Hi everyone!
I've created this thread seeing as I've posted the old one in the wrong section! :bang: Sorry guys!
This is my first car, a MK1 Punto 60SX from 1999, also known as Jimi :slayer:
It's not perfect but it wouldn't be fun if it was! :devil:
Here's how I got it:
So, after some deep thinking, my first personal touch was a new Fiat gear knob and a white leather gaiter (I know it's too short, I'm gonna get round to it eventually!) :
After that my stock tweeters melted and my radio broke, so I got myself a Pioneer head unit and a pair of Alpine E-Type 4" Speakers for the front doors:
And some Alpine E-Type 6"x9" on the parcel shelf for good measure; I know what most of you will say but I have to use my boot quite often, and the sub will come... eventually :
So I went further, I bought a Twin Pipe Exhaust which came with a 3 step reducer:
And this is how it looks on the Punto now:
For Christmas I got these lovelies seeing as my old ones were a complete mess! :
The other day I decided I'm gonna give my car some colour.
Step one was to get the old side moulding (to others may be known as "the plastic bits on the sides") off, get all the old tape and gunk off the car (which was a BIG, MASSIVE pain!), paint them and stick them back on.
Gave it a bit more thought and decided to do the front and the rear of the car too. Here's how it went:
When I came to do the back I had a bit of trouble:
Here are my new lovely alloys! 14"s of a Bravo, bought on eBay for £70 (including tyres and fitting that hour!) Bit of a bargain really!
I must admit they're not in pristine condition but that just gives me something useful to do! I think I'm gonna refurb them and paint them white :devil:
My plan would be:
Any thoughts, comments and suggestion are more than welcome!!
Thanks for keeping up everyone!eace:

My plan would be:
- Refurb the alloys and paint them white
- CC the wing mirrors and door handles (that would in green, not silver) Thoughts?!
- Tint the rear windows to about 65%
- Stick some decals on the quarter panels
- Cut down the gear stick!
- Get some new air vents (which look decent)
Any thoughts, comments and suggestion are more than welcome!!
