Styling Facia panel colours

[RhysSmoove]

Hi everyone,
My Punto has had bits of paint missing on the facia panel since I've had it. I was just wondering whether anyone had a specific paint colour for this so i can touch up the areas that need doing? Or if anyone knows where I can get a new panel from (in silver) and how easy it is to fit it?

Thanks
Rhys

It's gonna be hard to touch that up without looking odd, best to spray the whole thing (audi aluminum silver, hycote) or pick up a replacement I reckon

For the cost of paint and work involved in preparation it's probably easier and cheaper to get a £20 replacement from eBay

Thanks for the quick replies, I might just buy a new panel. Are there any guides on the Fiat Forum that can help me?

I think there is somewhere, might be to do with changing the bulbs, have a quick look

Easy to remove anyway, couple screws down side and maybe near gear stick (depending on car), and then prize away, it will become self-explanatory when you get stuck in, can always post back up here if any problems :thumbup:

if your gearstick isn't built into it to make 1 item then its **** easy to change

4 bolts - i electrical connector - and done

Yeah my gear stick is one piece and took me a while to realise there was extra screws to undo (after reading guides, none had this setup)

Bit of a pita tbh at first..

That does look epic man I sticker bombed my old Seicento's centre console too.. Only trouble is it took me ages to find enough stickers to do it... So that book really would help.

Thats cool then Definitely one of my new mods soon! Did you have to put clear lacquer on it at all? Or was it fine without it?

Cheers,
Rhys

sorry for long reply mate, yeah i had a can of lacquer in my garage so i give it a coat over so it looks shiny and wont peal off individually

 

[RhysSmoove]

Did the stickerbombed facia panel in the end! I just brought a vinyl wrap to stick on, no lacquer needed!

Cheers for all the advice,
Rhys
