Punto (Mk1) my firt mk1 punt project..
terrible
When you say project is it an on going project?
What plans, if any, do you have for the car?
Here's my advice mate, and this is what i would do if it were my car:
1. Get the wing sprayed black asap, it looks awful at the moment.
2. Ditch the under car neons, look rubbish.
3. Sort out the interior, get some better seats.
4. Lexus style rear lights
5. Better alloys
6. Suspension kit.
You have a good car to start with, but not sure what your age is or your budget.

harsh people... although mostly correct.
1. get the car painted properly - including mending any little dents and chips, and that door handle. this helps you feel much cooler knowing that your car is minted.
2. rip out those neons - this helps you not feel or look like a stupid chav.
3. Get some lowering springs - at least 40/35mm front/rear - this helps with handling, bodyroll, makes the car ALWAYS look 10x better. In short, you aint gangster untill you go low.
4. Get the dashboard unit from a higher-up model (SX and above) so that you have a rev-counter and a temperature gauge. this is far better for many reasons.
5. enjoy? other mods?
- i have to say, i love those alloys, they suit the mk1 down to the ground.

congratulations another punto ready for the scrap heap
I assume the head unit and neons cost more than the car they are stuck to...also why did you put that stuff on first before sorting out the more obvious problems?
be prepared son for negative remarks aswell
... even the young team on here[well some] think that the neons are [email protected]h the christmas tree lights, its your only way forward....apart from being ilegal[feds will soon stop you if you start flashing this] you don,t want to attract too much interest from them do you
that is a truly excellent touch for a mk1 good job
does it inspire you to mod yours? git 'er done
i see your new car has CC'd bumpers, looks good

erm well i'm happy with mine
and thanks very much but my favourite extra so far has to be the rev counter very usefull
i believe it was you that said i should colour code my last one and have clear indicators so there you go i saved myself the bother

I think actually, this Punto was for sale 'in that state'.
This guy has obviously bought it and wants to do it up.
Whether 'doing it up' means bolting halfords accessories on is another thing though.

Perhaps a priority adjustment is in order....the price of the gear on it could have got it on the way to tidy front bumpers brand new are only 50 quid for example and much less second hand and i got a wing resprayed and dents removed from my last car for 120 quid 150 if he used a second hand bumper would have got it looking nice. Bet the head unit cost more than that.
