Punto (Mk2/2b) Lum's 2b - Eurooooooooooo to be!

Introduction

I've been browsing these forums since I got my punto, never got round to making a thread. Since I'm starting to mod it now, probably should make a thread. I'm a 17 year old from Scotlannndddd and this is my first car :)

Was decent back then, I got it for 1800. First thing I did was took them wheel trims of and ran on steels, then took the bump strips off.

Unfortunately I had a crash not long after I passed, reversed right into the side of a BMW (ha :/). Don't even want to know what my insurance is going to be next year tbh.

So, the damage ..

I then bought a badgless grill from eBay for 50. Was a mo'fukin scam, thing was a piece of sh*t, tried to send it back to the guy and get a refund but he didn't collect it or something and it ended up just getting returned to me.

So I took it upon myself to try and do up my grill abit myself. I sanded away the silver that was on it, then sprayed it gloss black. Then I got the centre which used to say fiat sprayed silver. I kinda regret ever touching it cos it looks worse now lmao ..

My seats were quite bad so I've got some seat covers just now to cover them up, think i'm going to get alfa 146 seats in a few weeks, i'm liking them tbh. Although being a celtic fan, red and blue isn't the best of combo's - the seat covers wer given to me so I didn't really have a choice haha.

Got tired of my steels, was in the scrap yard looking for a spoiler yesterday and I found these alloys :slayer:. Yes I got them from a scrap yard and they are in amazing condition. Alloys like these, with basically brand new tyres arn't easy to find down there and they where a bargan so they will do just now untill more money comes in. I start uni in September, and have got a new job lined up starting next week so I'll be doing it up quite a bit over the next few months.

As it is now with the alloys ...

Oh and guys, if you look back in my thread you'l see that I WOULD VERY STRONGLY ADVISE PLASTIC WELDING IT!!! I tried to get away with that, not plastic welding, and i primed the bumper than notices a small crack, so i put some strain on it, and it cracked right along the line. So I've been plastic welding!

Its so easy, get a doner-bumper, or just some plastic and then just use a soldering iron (£13 from ebay) and away you go. Honestly, it took me like 1 hour to get the hang of, now I', the grand daddy at it :D

so after taking the bump strips away did you fill the gap with more plastic with a soldering iron? then sanded? then Im guessing some filler?
 
Yeah mate, what i did was took a strips of plastic and welded it so it was basically flush (on the line) but obv the plastic comes up over, but then i just sanded all that back and applied some P40 paste, then sanded back and applied a few coats of P38 filler :)
 
Yeah man I know! How did you weld the plate on the wiper hole? Cos its too small to get in behind it!

Oh, and I'm from Livingston :D, I go to Napier Uni so I'm in Edinbrugh with the car most days.

Finally got some pictures. Stole my girlfriends phone while I had the chance and took as much as I could around the house :D

First thing was first, old crappy seats out you go ..

And say hello to the new sex-u-el interior. I wanted to get alfa seats but i couldn't be assed with cold leather in winter, and sticking to it on sunny days. So i picked up these black sporting seats which really go with the interior. Also re-trimmed the headliner and pillars in faux suede which makes it look amazing.

Got a new wing for a tenner, only to realise it was for the mk2 - I thought both wings where the same but evidently not. Soooooo I had to go get an mk2b wing! Also a tenner, so not too bad!
