I think that e marked products are road legal like suspension coil springs have TUV approved for quality road legal products

yes e marked is road legal i think.
btw everybody the zorst is running nicely i will try and get a video of it as soon as i can

They are not road legal. The rules that I've read state that you have to have a mechanism (as found on Volvos, BMWS) which pops up and cleans the headlights. And they have adjuster things for when you go over a bump to stop you from blinding oncoming cars.

E-Marked is a quality stamp I think. Nothing to do with legality.

when something is marked with the E mark its simply means that its quality tested for sale in europe... well thats what i got told in product design when i was at school 2 years ago anyway. could be wrong.

im thinking of getting some black wind deflectors. whats your opinions on this???

 

[Fiatpuntomk2b]

well there are pairs on ebay for like just under £40 but a lot of them are clear. i dont know whether you have to get them sprayed similar to rear lights

 

[djedwardsmith]

Save your money up and get some CC'd bumpers. The best thing you could possibly do tbh, makes such a huge difference from the gash standard ones. Wind deflectors do look good on black puntos mind.

yeh i am gonna save for the CCs but iv had quotes of like 300 pound... little on the expes.nsive side if you ask me :S

Sack that go to scrappers bumper £50 each in pretty good condition probly next to no damage. Well thats how much it is round at ours last time i checked and that was about haf year ago at a scrappers on other side of town cant remember where it was now but im sure most scrappers will be simular

 

[Reuuk]

scrappy is the way forward tbh, i got both front & back bumpers for 30 English pounds each (£60) and they where in excellent condition. don't forget, you can barter with them

 

[hull fc matt]

yeh might pop down there on friday to see whats what, see if i can get some, i would prefer the abarth bumpers tbh but i know its pretty difficult to get them nowadays, especially for cheap prices.
im still waiting to see if adamski is going to post some pics of his to me to see what i think.

 

[Reuuk]

I'm planning on changing my rear bumper to a MK2B sporting one and the front to an Abarth maybe late this year if i come across any

try your scrappys.. but if its anything like where i live...theres never any mk2's in there haah

 

[hull fc matt]

like i said very harsd to find them in good condition.

 

[Reuuk]

yeah true... all you can do is keep checking i guess.. you had a look on ebay btw?

True true mate most scrappers round ours have piles of MK1 punto but hardly any mk2 and i have never come across a abarth kit in scrappers there was one on ebay a while ago i was goin to go for but the front bumper had a large crack in it and needed respray and had a chuck of plastic missing lol so i thort forget it.

 

[karbineftw]

Yeh agree on the scrappers idea. Don't take their initial price either. Barter is the way forward :')

exactly. I even tried telling the guy that if he sells me them for 30Quid each he will be saving space he did originally want £100 for both but got £40 taken off for bartering
