Punto (Mk2/2b) Colinf1's 2000 Mk2 8v.

[Butcher]

yeah the rings might look good gold or black aswell

 

[colinf1]

Tried the colour coded rings in photoshop, but they looked a bit iffy, so there staying silver lol

Got my tail pipe re-routed today, so it wouldnt melt the mudflaps. They cut old pipe off and just made up a new one, comes straight out with a slight bend in the middle to get under the bumper.

Also priced up long life stainless steel sports backboxes, were coming in at £150 with twin tip, but was no point replacing a perfectly good backbox.

A good wash and wax today,also treated glass with Rain-X.

Looking mint m8, you can hardly tel that they are steeles.

 

[eamonnf]

They look pretty cool, kinda retro!

 

[Butcher]

those pics do them better justice than the 1s before

Finally got the finger out and got a set of bumpers.

Front was a tesso blue from a sporting
Rear was a lagoon blue from a mk2b active sport

Now there a nice gold! and whats even better, no orange peel, okay a few wee runs to deal with but not overly concerned about that. Leave them to harden up overnight, ready to stick on tomorrow.





Was missing towing eye cover on front bumper, so just used the one from my own.

Also missing a rear reflector but just going to get some red reflector tape and cut it to size. Plastic lugs on the rear of the grilles on back bumper are going to be melted because the little clip rings that were on them had rusted away.

Front needs the other bump strip put back in then transfer the splitter from old to new before it goes onto car, will be easier to get the splitter tighter so theres no gaps.

Your car will just look awesome when they are on! the Mk2B rear bumper always looks good, should set your car apart

 

[Butcher]

2b rear fits as easy as a normal 2 does?

 

[m20b25]

Will be looking forward to seeing these on your car

Yes, mk2 - mk2b 3 door bumpers are interchangable. As are the 5 door, but only 3dr - 3dr or 5dr - 5dr.

Hopefully get them on tomorrow, rain forecast for around lunch, so will be up early..

Been wanting it since I seen this by safcjames,

They look really smart

Would have been a good one for you, already in the right colour, wouldn't have need any fixing or touching up. Keep looking...

 

[Yarde]

Can't wait to see these bumpers on the car! Gonna completely transform the look!

 

[Rawb]

Bumpers will finish off the car IMO, glad you've finally got a set

 

[colinf1]

didnt get working on these til around 12 today,

Started on the rear, few bolts rusted good and tight, rear crumble part is totally different to the mk2b, so had to take it off. On the car I got the rear bumper there was just 3 pieces of foam, so will try and get those.

Front wasnt soo bad to do, but it started raining as soon as I had the front jacked up to start on it, however worked tru the rain to get them on.

Mudflaps, Splitter and number plates where transfered before bolting them to the car.

Result...



these took ages to get off








Done! not doing anything more to it.

 

[Ashjj]

Looking very smart m8. and im very glad to see you went with the mk2b rear bumper i think it looks so much better.

haha you say your not doing anything else to it but you will find something you want to do it always the case. lol.

 

[DasArab]

Your cars looking very well Colin, a credit to you. I actually prefer the wheels without the centre caps, gives it that Euro look bud. Where did you get the roof spoiler from, really like it, subtle, looks like its factory and not max power, if you know what I mean. CC bumpers making all the difference to bud

 

[colinf1]

That is a sporting spoiler, its nice and subtle as you said, not too big, not too small.

Would be nicer with the alloys back on rather than the steelies

 

[JustAndy]

Thats looking loads better now colin! I think you should put the alloys on at least for a few pictures
