HU surround fitted...


wind decided to blow off the air vent flaps so had to respray the damn things in places. :bang:

 

[SamuraiDragon]

vents in place now. aint perfect... little bit of damage from putting them back together (royal pain in the arse)... anyways.... heres the pics.

whats next ? how about fabric painting the door cards black ?

 

[SamuraiDragon]

not sure tbh. need to do some maintenance but with moving in the next week or so, cash is tied up. been tempted to die or change the door cards, paint the door handles etc but money could be better spent else where. door handles im not sure of cos rattle can paint aint that touch and wont take much to chip away. even thought bout doing the exterior handles white but same reason.... not durable unless getting it done pro.

quick pic of the air vents in the day:


also decided to wash and wax the car today as its been a nice morning:

 

[Butcher]

you ever thought about abarth side skirts or a frount splitter?

 

[SamuraiDragon]

yes to both, but again costs come into play..... maybe one day ill find a colour matched set when i have some cash, but not until.....

one of my cheap aero wipers decided that some rain was too much for it and the clip holding it onto the wiper arm broke and fell off so i decided it was time to spend a little more money on a new set of bosch aero twin blades. seems so much more of a stronger and smoother wipe now. well worth the £20 i payed for the pair.

also treated myself to a new set of blue dust caps for the wheels. lol.

 

[Fiatpuntomk2b]

got a link to the wipers,could do with a new set myself

need to get some alloys bud

 

[SamuraiDragon]

just sold a set.... going towards my coilover fund. may get another set sometime in the future if something suitable comes along in perfect condition and extra cheap tho.

 

[Fiatpuntomk2b]

Cheers for the link i kinda like the look without alloys,kinda nice to be different and as one of the first things people do when they buy a car is stick a set of alloys on,why not be different also i think painted steels suit puntos quite well

 

[Butcher]

do you know the name of the alloys you had, im quite intrested in buying the same ones in 16s and refurbing black with a blue lip

They were 16" Fiat coupe alloys

 

[SamuraiDragon]

:yeahthat:

 

[TCE]

I have the same colour. Would much prefer the alloys to be black than white. I think i'm going to spray mine once i can be bothered to ring the insurerers up

 

[Butcher]

anything new?

 

[SamuraiDragon]

not really.... cable tied on a lil monkey teddy to the back bumper for ****s and giggles but not even done so much as wash the car last couple of weeks cos of moving house.... only just got my internet back up.... but i will wash the car today as its nice and sunny.

 

[SamuraiDragon]

not much of an update, but an update non the less....
changed my monkey teddy to a mr bump toy on the back bumper..... given to me free curtsey of a so called friend who thought it was hilarious to completely cover my car in toys.... and i mean cover.... 4 toys each wheel, mirrors, aerial, wiper arms, both bumpers etc. took me 20 mins to cut them off the car. lol

also swapping out my induction for the original airbox, but will be painting it up before i fit it..... once i can obtain a replacement inlet duct to go between the throttle body and airbox... cos the toyosports induction is metal, it causes the leads to arc (even with 10mm performance leads)under hard acceleration. least, thats how it feels.... but guess it could be the engine mounts as well. either way, it will mean the petrol isnt sucked away quite so quick.
also purchased a new decal to fit on the boot or rear windscreen.. not decided yet... saying "drive like you stole it" which would, as my friends would say, explain my driving style.... im a bit heavy footed. lol

anyways.... if anyone has, or knows of someone wanting to part with a 1.2 16v airbox inlet duct, let me know.
