Hope ya like it folks, it's consumed basically all of my money and everything I hold dear to get it as it is now!
 
Hi Cal, i have a 5 door punto as well, and it doesnt look half as nice as yours well done mate, i gotta a few questions if u dnt mind tho, im thinking of colour coding my mirrors and door handles, did u do yours urself, or got the sprayed professionally? and were did u get the side skirts from because im looking for sum for a 5 door punto. one last thing is how did u tint your back window, i did my side ones myself and its come out great with the self tinting film, bit scared of attempting the back one tho. Thanks, Mike.

Cals being an Elx it rolled out of the factory with coloured door handles and mirrors.....or at least the ones on my 98 one are.....Great looking motor like
 
Cals is 1996 tho it says, and hes written it as if he changed them to colour coded. but yea its one nice looking car, mines coming along nicely but it needs lowering, i can get the kit and do it myself, but my insurance is Quin Direct and they said if i want to change the suspension, its gotta be done by a proper company and they have to fill in a form saying its done properly before they can reqoute me, to much red tape for my liking.
 
yeah, go team mk1 5dr puntos :D



BUT, I'll have to stop you with the abarth chopping excersie, its simply sacrilige. I will only allow it if you buy some cheap RTM type ones and cut them up.


but whats wrong with the skirt you have now?? looks sweet:cool:


and the black sporting/gt skirts CAN be colour coded (their not textured like black basic bumpers are), and on later Gt3 models (97-99) they came colour coded from teh factory.

:):)


The reason that abarth skirts are good in the first place is that they are smooth and simple, so it would kind of defeat the object to cut them up!

And like you say, the skirts that are on now are nice,like they say; if it ain't broke don't fix it.


Must say i like the twin exhaust on that Type k rear bumper.

fenton JD, finally another of th same mind.


3dr's sometimes make the car look like a smaller car than it is, and certainly passengers feel more comfortable having their own door:cool:

although the number of people (girls mainly) who try and get in the front and pull the seat forward not realsiing they have their OWN door at the back:rolleyes:
