my new punto came yesterday but was dark so pics were a no no! but iv got some today and now iv seen it in daylight, its better than i was expecting really is rather tidy, runs well, its got mot, tax and my mums insured it so its even on the road its pretty much standard apart from stereo, speakers, k&n and some errrr 'sport' badges on the front doors :yuck:

im sooo happy with it, the colour is so nice, not many around either so pretty rare

ok heres the pics then, some are blurry yes so sorry but i still keep forgetting to use auto focus

























so what you reckon? im actually keeping this car too, for my car when im driving! cost me £700 which is pretty damn cheap

That's more like it! easier to insure, Looks in good condition, and works.

yep insurance and tax are cheap, petrol's also cheap as well as running costs and its pretty damn fast for a 1.2 16v!

I know your basic instinct is to spend a load of money chavving it up badly ().
However, the outside and inside of the car look in good nick. Get yourself down to Halfords (or similar), get some engine bay cleaner and some brushes, and spend your time doing that instead. Should come up nicely.
(Don't go and buy a pressure washer and was the engine from 6 inches instead... )

yay finally, beau is seeing straight.


damn nice looking motor.


remove sport badges, learn to drive, DONE.

doesn't need anything else doing to it, its a very very nice colour so try and kee it that way

£700 sounds about £300 too cheap (unless its tax and test were short or rear arms haven't been replaced in last year), should be fine

are you competing with bushboy on how many fiats you can own in as little time as possible

Looks a good car - keep on to this one

im not that bad! lol

a new engine from where??

a sludge dump its filthy, looks like its done about 80 or more (mine has 82k and it far cleaner than that!)

what happened to the red one you bought off ebay

3rd time lucky! Looks good, and it's from Fords of Winsford, about 15 minutes from where I live when not at my house for uni.

no i was in it with old owner driving it for about 15 mins

i wont be selling!

and dave you know the pics were just crap on the ebay ad

abarth it

much much much more realistic that beau, thats a great first car is that.... although ill bet when u pass your test and come to drive it it wont look nothing like it, it will have 17s on, lowerd, fully resprayed, body kit , bucket seats, big exhaust etc

it looks tidy for a S reg, cheap too

Er, nice handbag Beau

The reg is scarily close to my old Punto - S860 JAR. Looks like a very tidy motor! It's the one I wanted for a first car, good buy. I'll reserve judgement on whether it's still too early though. You don't want it ending up like the GT in the way of vandalism.

if you've got a mate with an empty garage, use them!!!!

why do people keep saying, looks tidy for a ??? reg.


there is NO reason why it shouldn't be, unless its been crashed or vandelised. some people

But that's the point, most of the Mk1 Puntos I see are severly battered. I'm not really sure why but seeing a mint Mk1 Punto is bloomin' hard, at least it is around here. Beau seems to have bought a good example, as long as it goes as well as it looks. Of course we can't see any thing close up that the camera hasn't picked up on.

i might dave, my uncle said he could spray it even because his got a compressor etc.

no, it probably wont look like that lol, most likely exhaust, tinted windows, lowered 40 or 60mm, then if i fit abarth kit id want abarth alloys.

thats a tin from my sisters car lol


it is pretty tidy, it apparently had lacquer peeling, but iv looked round it, and couldnt see any lol, il look again tomorrow.

and notice that its not at my house, others was cos it was private, this is mot'd, taxed and insured so on the road so unlikely to get vandalised. and il be putting it on a more main road soon so even more unlikely.

the bodywork does need some tidying, but really, its not bad, £100 max of work to be very good id say.

nice car beau! the best colour for the punto sportings IMO. that orangy browny is sooo nice.

as for not being as bad as me at selling cars... youve had 4 cars and you cant even start to learn to drive yet! that is far worse than me! atleast i can drive my cars
