Punto (Mk2/2b) My car, what can I do to it?

[Mikey-D]

I think you should change those alloys to something a bit more interesting - try the mk2 sporting alloys. Also you could colour code mirrors, handles, and get a body shop to spray the bumpers.

They mean have them painted with the same paint as the bodywork, as opposed to being the plastic on display.

You could smoke you back lights- i've seen a few grande punto's with them tinted looks pretty good and cheap to do-they spray the outside with a window tinter-just dont over do it and black them out so no1 can see you braking!!!

You are welcome! What colour are your neons? You could paint your brake calipers to match the glow. Quite a few of the black grande puntos have gone for a red and black theme. With red interior neons and red brake calipers and red decals. Thin red pin stripes down the sides of the car might look cool. You could also get some undercar neons to match your interior ones. I wired my interior footwell neons into the ceiling light as well so the car glows when you unlock it/open the door and then fades off after a few seconds or I can just keep it on. Mates love it!

Too pikey?

Too pikey?

[tomelsmore]

Thought so - to be honest I am slightly tempted to do a undercar wired to the ceiling light so the car glows when you unlock it. Not sure anyway I've got an maths C3 exams tomoz!?!? C ya im off to revise!

Some good ideas here so far (and some very tacky ideas but thats just my opinion )

Subtle is definately the way forward with the mk2 Punto imo. Start by colour coding the door handles/mirrors. See if you can get some pre-colour coded bumpers from a Sporting or similar (Ebay or a local breakers is always a good place to start).

Tinted rear lights would make the black theme flow smoothly.

Also if you were very lucky to find a black Sporting/HGT being broken you cant go wrong with the side skirts and rear spoiler from them. Also the interior in them looks superb in the lower models, just make sure you get door cards and centre console as well as the seats themselves.

Debadge the boot for that smooooooooooth look

I no neons are tacty but I was just brainstorming lol. You can see what I've done in my sig, they are subtle but give it that sporty feel.
