Punto (Mk2/2b) My black MK2 :)

[Reuuk]

those silver ones?

1 of them went horrible with a slight bit of bass.... standards are back in

if you want a spare, one of them works fine! haha

My standard Passenger side is nakard thats to base needs to get myself to a scrappy me thinks

 

[jonyid]

with the wiring, once i have located the interior light wires is it a case of stripping some outer plastic, connecting the new wire and securing it with electrical tape? i really want to do this to my incoming mk2 and would buy the door lights but only apply them to the heaters inside

 

[mikejt]

yes, that is right, they run up the drivers side of the windscreen (the gray plastic cover just clips off... but the clips snap fairly easily!!)

 

[jonyid]

so how would i get the wiring from the lights (in the heater) to the interior light by the windscreen?

 

[mikejt]

i think what i did is took the vents out (remove the cd player if you have the standard one or the facia surround if yours is aftermarket) remove all the allen screws then pull the vents out)

fed the wire down behind the centre console and attatched it to my existing lights... you could either feed the wire through the drivers footwell then into the interior light wiring or take a relay off the cigarette lighter light and find a 12v live for the switch side (this involves slightly more complicated wiring but the lights will come on with your side lights.... thats what my interior ones do, its only the handle ones that use the interior light)

 

[jonyid]

how many allen screws are there to remove? 2 or 4? just noticed that some of the vent pieces have fallen out so need to get access and fix them, then can have a look at the lights at the same time

any updates on the car mate ?

 

[mikejt]

Noo nothing new, nothing planned either, tidied up the boot a bit, think il leave it as it is, just general maintenance an servicing possibly new speakers if anything

 

[mikejt]

1 of my new tyres has burst

Bloody potholes!!!!

 

[Fiatpuntomk2b]

how long u had it on the car ? isnt there some sort of garantee

 

[mikejt]

only had it just over a month

and it was a pot hole that did it, nothing to do with the manufacturer

 

[Reuuk]

on your steelies or you get yourself some alloys?

Oh and btw wondered if you could help me i've got myself a Sporting steering wheel in the post how do i fit it

 

[mikejt]

steelies mate... there not damaged like, got myself some nice alloys off a GP, didnt fit so i sold em for more than what i paid

and to remove the steering wheel, disconnect the battery (it is advisable to leave it for half an hour)... undo the 3 allan screws at the back to remove the airbag, unplug the airbag and wire for the horn

you will see a black piece of plastic, take this off (i used pliers.... i didnt put it back on either so i wasnt bothered about damaging it) this reveals a 25 or 26mm nut, (sure its 25)... remove this with a socket and extension (make sure the wheel is straight or mark it's position with tipex or masking tape) the steering wheel will then come off.... fitting is the opposite of removal

Hope this has helped

yehh the centre bore is too small, you can have it bored out and use wobbley bolts but your better just getting alloys that fit

and i havnt got round to it yet, iv sort of got used to it now... i might do it some time soon

good luck with your wheel

what you doing with your old one? just out of interest

by the time you've bored it all out though... costs probably around the same (including cost of the alloys)

My Old steering wheel? It'l probably be joining the rest of my original interior down the cellar ahaha.

 

[mikejt]

yehh thats why i got rid of them, they were nice though!

paid 140 for the alloys and got quoted £60 to bore them out if i got the tyres took off and if their lathes could handle that size

sold them for £200

i was going to sell mine, not worth the hassle though, mines with my other interior in the garage

 

[Reuuk]

its always best keeping hold of the interior for when you sell the car, 'if you don't like this interior, heres the original in the boot (H) haha'
