im suprised they're still on the car after a few weeks also they're staring to grow on me so im keeping them (until they get stolen)

I stick a set of locking wheel bolts
White is okay but a bitch to get and keep clean

got my self a badgeless grille for christmas so thought id finally get a picture up

Nice punto mate
Did you had any problems taking off old grille ?

AJ 96 · Feb 4, 2015

i had one bolt that had seized other than that it was fine

Czr · Feb 4, 2015

Do you know maybe why mine wont unscrewed. I can take off 2 or 3 bolts and rest of them wont as they keep turning the nut with bolt and I can take it off

Hi, you could try holding the stud with a 4mm socket and the undoing the nut with a 10mm spanner that helped me get mine off
just make sure you put plenty of WD40 or plusgas on it first

im glad i did it to mine, i was also tempted to do the handles and bump strips but i quite like how the black breaks up the blue

Where did you get these from? I've been looking for some for ages and still can't find them! And how much?

Thanks mate
Will try this tomorrow hope it will work.

i got some chrome indicator bulbs from ebay
remove the side repeater from the wing, carefully open it there should be a little amber cap for the blub which you can just remove and replace the clear bulb with a chrome one

RhysSmoove · Feb 6, 2015

Ok mate, cheers for the advice ?

Czr · Feb 6, 2015

Thanks mate for the advice with that grille. All fitted now

Looking shiney. Did you put any wax or polish back on as protection. As when you removed the contaminants by claying you also removed any protection that was already there.

AJ 96 · Feb 9, 2015

yes i polished it, i used halfords own car polish and turtle wax ice wax

well after 7 months ownership i no longer own my Punto
in that time it had new battery, new bulbs, new aux belt, new (recon) gearbox, new clutch, new plugs, new ht leads and new wipers. it also just started to develop a power steering fault (went heaver turning one way and not the other and would sometimes go really heavy at low speeds)
I part exed it for my new car a Fiat 500 street, so im still on the forum and more importantly still with fiat
