hi guys, just bought this a week ago, its a 1999 mk1 team edition.
im looking at styling it up and thought i could do with some tips/advice.

ill appreciate any comments

Depends how much you got to spend.

Colour Coded bumpers.
Clear indicators and side repeaters.
de-badge wings.
lower.
15" wheels.
GT/sporting side skirts painted or non painted.
mk2 bonnet badge.

the team edition is just an S right? in that case i'd want central locking, electric windows and a sporting or GT interior. colour coded bumpers, clear indicators and side repeaters. alloy wheels, lowering springs, backbox, air filter. a nice stereo, with front and rear speakers, sub, amp, and all of a sudden you've spent enough to buy a mk2 sporting with all that as standard and more. oh well that life.

it looks nice and clean, never been touched by a boyracer, thats always a good sign.

yeah its a 60 S. i think the only difference with the team edition is the interior.
apparently it has the sporting steering wheel and seats lol. wat kinda things could be done that cost next to nothin cuz im in college and having trouble findin work atm. so i dont have much to spend

ah modding on a budget, my favorite.

go scrapyard hunting, you'll get colourcoded bumpers in white somewhere, and they're only £20 each, but they make a big difference. also get some clear indicators, £10-20 for the pair.

a pair of clear side repeaters £10 off ebay

then a set of cheap alloys, £100 if you check the adtrader often.

then treat yourself to a CD stereo, £50 will get a good one on ebay.

and all of a sudden its a much better car and you've only spent about £200, plus that'll add value to the car so it isn't money wasted.

it doesn't have sporting seats, They are similar but blue with PUNTO instead of SPORTING patterns.

shows how much i know

i have a sony xplod cd player in now and 2 sony xplod 6x9's in the back.

im not sure where to put front speakers in, i havent got speakers in the doors so i dunno how to replace em :bang:

i want to debadge it and take rub strips off ( cheap jobs )

urm.. im also wondering if its okay to put clear side repeaters and indicators on a white car.. wont they be hard to notice in the day?

they still flash orange just the same, you have orange bulbs in them. many cars (including punto) come with them as new. look at a sporting, it has clear indicators. you'll find a scrapyard punto with a clear pair easily.

yeah teams get ELX type seats, they are similar to sportings, apart from the pattern, they have better bolsters and a different filling, and sometimes better quality material (only on gt's sportings, and elx's, teams get the shape but cheaper material).
also I think you get a sunroof!
I sorely wanted a sunroof as I always like having a window open, but at speed its a pain, and rain always comes in, wheras sunroof it rolls off and lets the air out nicely

well i dont have a sunroof :yum: not sure i would of used it anyways lol. i was thinking about changin the seating but it would probably be either pricey or messy.. maybe both lol. its not really something im fussed about tbh. just hope i can debadge it without scratchin the paintwork gonna replace side repeaters weekend and maybe rub strips if we get some decent weather :bang: lol. anyone live in the west mids here that wud lyk to help ?

dont you get tempature gauge and rev counter with a team? you dont get them on an s

yes mate, its got the rev counter n temp. gauge

im not sure where to put front speakers in, i havent got speakers in the doors so i dunno how to replace em

Speakers mounted in dash are 8.7cm, The mounting depth is VERY small in the front though. Alpine, Infinity, and Sony all do custom fit speakers that should fit. Im sure its an allen key you use to get at your speakers in the dash..

yeh all you need is an alan key.

My speakers cost me 40 quid though

get some new pedals n all haha

the rubb strips.. someone told me to get some standard thinner to remove the glue, might try that the weekend. jus a quick question... does anyone know why water seems to stay on the surface of my car in like puddles at first someone told me it was the turtle wax i used cuz it was like 20 years old lol. i cleaned it all off, waxed it down with auto glym n the wates is still staying on the surface.. i can get some pics if anyone needs some but i really wana sort it out, i dont see it on anyone elses cars :bang:
