Punto (Mk2/2b) Meet my Punto Chirpy :)

Introduction

Alright guys! I've been lurking around on here for the last 12 months since I bought my motor and thought it was about time I started contributing!

I have shared Chirpy with my partner since we bought her but now she's moved on to the weird and wonderful world of Vauxhall which leaves her all to myself!

So I'll start by showing her off, meet Chirpy:)

I have loads of ideas in my head of how I want to personalize my Punto. So far I'm thinking -

Buy a set of sporting alloys and paint matt black.
Paint calipers and drums, red possibly.
Remove door trims.
Remove chrome badges.
Buy a de badged grill.
Colour code wing mirrors, or Matt black.
Paint door handles to match mirrors.
Colour code bumper trims.
Tint windows, very unsure on this one!
Fit a sun strip, possibly black.
Fit xenon bulbs.

Plenty for me to get on with for now and any ideas/suggestions welcome!

Sutty :)

Ps the daft name wasn't my idea, it was my better halves, but has kind of stuck :p

The rest of the paint work was in pretty reasonable condition seeing as I hadn't properly touched it for a few months so I haven't any before a just a few after shots of my new look Punto. This is after the customised paintwork and detailing session...

All in all I'm pretty happy with how my projects turned out. My original aim was to customise, personalize and make my Punto stand out from the crowd but at the same time keeping and original factory look which I think I've achived.

Only a few small jobs remain, repaint windscreen wipers, paint scuttle gloss black, paint calipers dark blue similar to the body work, paint drums and hubs gloss black, paint wind screen water squirters gloss black and change the aerial.

Other than that I'm very happy with my individual Punto, she's in the best condition she's ever been in since she rolled off the production line 10 years ago. Roll one all those summer were going to have :)
