red is knowen to fade to!
looks good that, very nice green!!! but IMO needs the original fiat badge on the bonnet the reefy thingy one looks outa place, but well done for the rest of it, looks superb
cinq with the new style badge looks just pure daft,but apart from that i really like that green!!!
IS finish on the bumper good? Cos i might spray ma own if it is

hi
the badge is a 70's wheel centre, my original one was loosing the chrome paint. I think the old one looks cool! more pics later... might get it finished tomorow, but probably monday
What abouit the mirrors then? what colour?
ming - the finish is really good, i would reccommend scotch pads to rub the bumper details down and get in the awkward bits. There were many tiny stone chips from a past aerosol paint job which wasnt laquered. I could have spent a lifetime preparing it, or got a new one but...

the newish punto has a reproduction of the old one that purf has. I think its the best looking of the fiat badges. got the new one on my cento bonnet. its from a new panda me thinks

crap i ment the new panda. not sure what other fiats have them.its only the same in the colour choice only, hardly a reproduction IMO
that one is the same colour in the old 500 style? did the punto ever have purfs badge but in blue?

days are short, so taking ages! had to quickly push it into the shed a few times, only realy had a few tiny spits of rain. just hoping the new panels will go on without too much faffing about !
looks good. didnt think you was doing colours across the roof? though it would stay red. btw them rubber roof strips pull out easy. they slide out from the back

Yeah decided to do the roof! End of day 4 1/2. Used 2 pack for the doors and roof. Took the doors off to get them horizontal, finish is amazing! thanks to my neighbour for the 2 pack!!! - supprised how easy it was to whip the doors off!
So all painting done and masking partially removed! Might have a tiny hope of finishing putting it all back together tomorow. this is the best bit!

suprised the doors came off easy. one of mine was a right b******! in the end think we used a heat gun and a block of wood under the door while jumping on the chassis!

Almost done. Just a few little jobs like lower window seals, number plate and stuff. New wings went on easily appart from a couple of captive bolts in the shell that gave up. One in the sill and one above the door hinges-very annoying.
Have'nt seen it from a distance yet because of the lack of space - but i hope people like it!

haha actualy looks really good! you need to get hold of an vent suround for the front bumper. I think its crap how the cento came with one on the driver side and not on the passengers.
