Alright guys!
This is my first car, had people kept telling me to avoid Fiat in general (for all the usual reasons), but I just find Punto's to be very sexy :yum:
Okay, first thing's first, the car is a black 2000 (X Reg) Mark II 1.2 60 Active 5 door.
^ Here is how the car looked when I bought it, only major problem being an illegal tyre. After all the snow eventually passed, whilst cleaning the car out for the first time, i found large clusters of mould had developed along the top of the rear seat, the rear offside seat belt, and on the ceiling/headliner (didn't take a picture because I'm not exactly proud of it). Found the problem to be saturation in the rear footwell, and have now dried the car out (mould stains are still there for now :bang
^ Threw on 4 new Kumho Solus KH15's, came to £140 inc. fitting. After allowing the nearside headlight to dry out, realised that it was only a temporary fix to an underlying problem. Debadged boot, and removed side door protectors.
^ Installed Kenwood KFC-1761S 6.5" 3 way co-ax's in the doors, and replaced crappy HU from previous owner with a Sony CDX GT230.
^ Gave the car its first PROPER wash when the sun came back out feel its come out nicely, and stuck on a couple of FF stickers (one on each rear window).
^ Bought some Halfrauds paint and colour coded the wing mirrors...STANDARD.
^ Still on the subject of colour coding, did the centre console (not finished yet as I ran out of paint)
So far thats it, getting paid on Friday, so will finish colour coding the centre console, and of course do the door handles. Get a little aerial sorted, stick in some Kenwood KFC-1061S 4" 3 way co-ax's in the rear, get an instrument cluster with a rev counter on, a new nearside headlight (or some angel eyes) and get some xenons for them, and then tint rear lights and side repeaters.
Will eventually get round to whacking some new wheels on, lowering it and getting some colour coded bumpers sorted out
let me know what you think
Oh, and POONto because its a 5 door, and more doors=more whores
