its a common things thats cropping up on punto's is the exterior beginning to degrade

You have 1 of 3 options that i know off

A - Buy a headlight restoration kit for about £20 and some elbow grease
B - Buy 2nd hand lights off ebay/scrappies that are in okay cond, but they could start to peel away too
C - Buy new, costs alot and still gotta fit them as well

Mine are going that funny white look, thats them degrading on the 2b, im going to go with option A when i come to it

The restoration kits are off amazon / ebay where ever
3M Headlight Restoration Kit to Restore Dull/ Faded/ Discoloured Headlights: Amazon.co.uk: Car & Motorbike

Finger did a guide in the guides section where he used a kit they look good tooo!

To get light clusters out - you need to release part or remove whole front bumper im affraid, there is a fat lip on these lights - that wont get past the bumper....

i buff these lights up in situ
op you say 03 but thats changeover year so

if earlier model these lenses really can go off so i use 1200 wetndry with plenty of water/stardrops and then a good electrical buff with g5
if later big lenses then usually dry g5 and an electrical buff gets the worst off

if you want to keep them mint then a clear coat of 2 pack lacquer could be added once minted

dont put a heat gun near them the lenses go white (had to see what happens for learning didnt i)

Haha I think you just spoke Spanish!!! Lol you are talking to a 22 year old girl lol xx

Plenty of video's on Youtube on headlight restoration.

Haha I might just buy good quality 2nd hand ones! But cannot find ones I would need x

I bought a set off ebay for next to nothing (think it was 10 for both) and they were in top nick, but when the rain and about 6 months came so back did the condensation lol. Option A sounds the best, then seal the bastards..
