why hey there ben such a rare and cherished name we have :L

I live down bloomfield way, number 21 in case you were interested. its nearer the leisure center side of debenham

Oooh the posh part of the village! Not that I envy you as I'm probably a little closer to the shop, although I drive anyway

Let me know if you fancy going out for a drive sometime, the roads round here are tasty

I work in the village too, I still drive there lol you're most likely to see my red cento in the co-op car park at lunchtime

A cuppa sounds good to me! Having a fellow forumer so close must be a good thing :thumbup:

Update: Alloys fitted, coilies next...

 

[Zarazzamatazz]

also the ride height at the moment will probably drop after the next few days by an inch or 2 because of the jacks so it will get lower

 

[benny279]

Shes looking good mate!

Keep up the good work!

ooo that is a hike just for a cuppa

anyways i dewiper'd the punto today (decided i didnt like nor need it) and now awaiting a grommet

p.s. benny i know you disapprove of the dewiper idea before you say

 

[Zarazzamatazz]

ah yes one issue which is REALLY bugging me, despite how small it is. but anyways this is it. basicly on one side of the boot lid it lifts up slightly as shown in the picture. tried removing the buffers (didn't work), trying applying force to push it back in (didn't work)... any ideas would be welcome.


p.s. does anyone know how to debadge the fiat badge on the boot lid of a mk2b? i hear it is screwed on but there is no way of unscrewing from the inside...basicly it has to be done from the outside but i dont wanna mess it up!

 

[RyanWhitehouse]

love your wheels, looks really high at the minute but i guess your sorting that with coilovers

I did the badge today just get a screw driver in the gap between the badge and the recess but be careful of your paint and just pop it up, you might need something else to pop it out fully but it's not screwed in, pretty easy tbh.

Nice car though mate

how big is the hole left behind from debadging? have you got a photo at all

 

[RyanWhitehouse]

what do you mean? the holes it leaves or the recess (the dip behind the badge)? and i haven't got any photo's sorry

basicly the hole it left behind, that the badge was clipped into how did you get rid of the hole?

 

[RyanWhitehouse]

i only took it off to replace it, it looks silly if you take it off because its sat in a dip, was you planning on debadging the boot completely? if so you would need to get it filled and smoothed and painted etc.

well i think tomorrow il take the badge off just to see what it looks like.

I was thinking of replacing the badge for the old fiat coupé bonnet badge (the blue one) as i think that would look epic :L

coilies are on the list, will be my next major spend
