Punto (Mk2/2b) my black mk2 punto

[Trist]

nice looking car
getting coloured coded bumpers would be a good move, maybe darken the tint on the rear lights and take the rear badges and side strips off, and lower it in the future

NICE! agree with last post good luck on the driving test

 

[Trist]

not like a chavmobile.

glad you said that, missed it first time, if subtle's the route you wanna go down get some abarth side skirts, change the look of the car loads and look great :yum:

Yeh abarth side skirts would look really good. You could do with finding a Black Sporting or a HGT in a scrappy and taking the bumpers and sideskirts, maybe even the wheels aswell.

I think MK2B lights are a subtle improvement to the MK2 aswell.

Looks in good nick though!

i have a set of those wheels, didnt think they would look on the mark2 but i see they do, does anybody know what there off???

Thanks for the comments. Im going to tint my lights darker, do you have to mask off the reflectors, or dont you need to? It was my understanding that you couldnt tint your relfectors because of the mot

I will be on the look out for colour coded bumpers and abarth skirts

Also ordered some 35mm lowering springs, is it kind of job you could do on the drive at home, or would a garage have to do it.

Well the bloke i bought them off said they were off a bravo.

better to do in garage you need spring compressor to do the fronts plus lot easier on a ramp. im lucky my mate did mine at work.

Yeh you probably are better off taking it to a garage. I tried to do it myself last weekend, got a spring clamp, but the two bolts at the bottom of the shocks were corroded solid, covered them in plus gas and spent a couple of hours trying to hit/twist them out without success!

 

[Munkul]

those bottom bolts are scumbags, if i were doing it again i would have bought new ones and burnt the old ones off :bang:


nice punto mate

Thanks 4 the comments

Got my springs today, im going to start ringing round for quotes, what do you think is a reasonable price to fit them?

Also are the rear badges bolted on or just glue, and if they are with glue, whats the best thing to get them off with. I think im just guna take the fiat one of the rear and leave the punto one on.

All help much appreciated

just glue, but be careful. a hairdryer is useful.

Yep on the Mk2 they are, I debadged mine and it was easy. On the Mk1 there are holes left behind them IIRC that need filling...

Sorry to hijack and jump in. But whilst on the subject of black colour coded bumpers (sort of) is it possible to get some for a 5 door punto!?!?

what do you mean?

do u have a 5 door punto and want colour coded bumpers?
do you want to know if you can put 5 door bumpers on a 3 door?

 

[TheGasMan]

Yeh you can get colour coded bumpers for a five door.

Ive had lowering springs fitted and darkened the tints on the rear, i will post updated pics soon
