Punto (Mk2/2b) My 2004 Fiat Punto MK2B Active sport has changed a bit :)

Looks sweet dude

how low is that? springs or coilovers?

 

[ashdartnell]

about 90mm not 100 % sure exact how low it is but it is haha and yeah coilovers

 

[s and b]

looks like back springs have twanged
sorry not for me i would expect a vosa pull
what do insurers say or is it a show car only?
nice colour mind and i like a the wheel colour

 

[Ziggy122]

The yellow alloys looks AWFUL
Stick to black or silver - makes it more eye appealing

Also on one of the the pictures there is the driving shot - looks like the n/s headlight is insecure or the bonnet is bent?

The rear does look way to low - with S+B has a spring snapped or are you running bump stops?

And take it you've put HID's in?

[ashdartnell]

been stopped by vosa and was fine as there was no rub and the rear springs are fine the reason you have said that they look ****ed is because in one of the photos the car is balanceing on 3 wheels and all the weight was on the back wheel lol and yeah thinking of putting the wheels put back to black was just experemnting lol

 

[ashdartnell]

selling your and buying or doing an engine swap?

Ziggy

 

[ashdartnell]

ever selling a getting a 1.8 hgt or doing a swap not 100% made my mind up yet and got to look in to it a bit more

 

[Ziggy122]

im not no

If you sell yours and buy a hgt you'll be better off

The issue with dropping a 1.8 lump in there is space is 1
But there is a huge change in the cars brakes (esp rear) Suspension, tyres, there is an awful lot to be done

Be 10x easier to get a HGT ready for a belt change and doing a cambelt yourself

Ziggy

 

[ashdartnell]

yeah thats what im thinking

 

[Ashjj]

Im likeing the look.

I also notice on some of your later pics it looks like you have chromed or some how silvered a section of the fog light grill how did you do it and what did you use?

 

[PuntoHowTo]

Can anyone say "Vignette"

its not to my taste, little wheels lowered to the floor serves no real purpose other than highlighting how small the wheels are, also the tow hook in make it look like it breaks down a lot

 

[ashdartnell]

thanks, and nope not touched the fog light grill lol must just be the way the light hits it lol

 

[ashdartnell]

ha the wheels are 15s? not exactley small no need to have any bigger and the car handles super because it is so low and stiff enough, coilovers , strut braces and decent tires not many can stick with it through the corners

He's got it there for show
You can see above his bumper is the cut out for the towing hook....

its just there so he can quickly change his fog lights

[ashdartnell]

lol nahh there is a metal plate behind the grill with a long bolt threw it because it looked dirty with the strap in the middle of the bumper haha
