A few photos from the snow we had in January.

Slightly more artistic one!

A few more plans for the summer.

- Possibly upgrade the original factory speakers to aftermarket.

- I've decided on new pressed plates rather than acrylic ones.

- A set of 4 wind deflectors if I can get them at a reasonable price.

- Possibly buy a set of mud flaps. Still undecided need to see more Puntos with them fitted first.

Speakers - Do it
You can buy an adaptor that takes it from Fiat wiring to aftermarket spades - It saves mess and time

The mud flaps i will caution on, that the fronts are okay
The rear im struggling with, if you have a crappy exhaust (aftermarket)
You may find it blows on the flap / clips, getting super hot and melting the bumper..... I'd be careful where you go forward with that
So much so - i havent refitted it to the new rear bumper

Any recommendations on speakers? I'm looking at midnight range price wise and want to replace the door and parcel shelf speakers. I want same size speakers that will stay hidden under the original covers. I'll look into the adapter too. I'm still unsure of the mud flaps but think they are worth a go at a tenner.

Small update.

I've purchased a set of 4 Team Heko wind deflectors for my Punto Nice one Ziggy for pointing me in the right direction!. Also I've bought a set of pressed plates to replace the tired looking ones on her now.

Plans for tomorrow, weather and time dependant, are to paint the calipers gloss dark blue and the hubs & drums gloss black.

Pressed plates are registration plates that have been embossed by metal not just the sticker emboss look, simple text ( reg numbers/letter) stick out rather than being a flat laminated sticker

They are metal plates with 3d letters/numbers basically. They are commonly used in Europe.

Yeah ill be posting photos of the work I do on this thread tomorrow.

I'm glad they have gone cheaper, as have most of the mods I wanted. I looked last summer and they were going for around £40-45 and i wouldn't pay that.

Where are you from mate?

A fair way from me then, although my car was originally registered in Peterborough as the reg starts with AK which isn't far from you. I'm from Manchester. Got big plans this summer to properly make my Punto stand out from the crowd. Nice to see another 5 door getting looked after as nearly every punto I see on the road is battered.

[Thingthingz]

Yeah im close too peterborough, and i know i saw a 3 dr punto earlier and it was horrible, (miss treated)! Have you got 147 seats in yours??

 

[Punto Sutty]

Additional update.

Although my Punto dosent do many miles normally today she never missed a beat on a 125 mile round trip to Southport. Pretty faultless for an 11 year old motor with over 100k on the clock.! I'm very happy to say the least as there's plenty of life left in the old girl yet!

No got the original interior. I'm trying to keep it as oem as possible with a small personalised twist.

A fairly productive morning for me today, managed to paint the drum brakes gloss black. Please excuse the ridiculously dirty wheels and arches. That will be taken care of next weekend! Here are the before shots.
