Punto (Mk2/2b) My MK2 5 Door Thread :)

Just a small update with pics to follow tomorrow, i failed at tinting my side repeaters, the tint spray just rolled of the lights ????????

Puzzled me lots, and im now hesitant to do my rears, as the side ones look crappp, i have hycote tint spray but its really runny ?!?

with the tint spray u got to build up lots of layers of it and dnt hold it on places keep moving thats why is run and ull need to key the surface first with some 800 wet n dry

and btw if u want to get that tint spary of ur lights use nail polish remover

Ordered LED sidelights and some 800 wet n dry... now do i just give them both a very light sand?

and how would i de grease them ?

 

[SamuraiDragon]

u can buy pre paint wipes etc, white spirit or even good ol' fairy washing up liquid - just make sure u have rinsed them well after. u only need to give em a light sand, all ur doing is give the surface a slight texture to allow the paint to stick. never hurts to remove the molding marks off the light either.

Rightt, so i finally got round to fitting my new JBL GTO speakers

only to find that the speaker standard speaker covers dont fit over them, and the JBL covers are huuuge!..

Sooo my dad came up with the plan to cut out the standard speaker covers, and mount the JBL covers to the standard ones, here is the outcome .

There we have it

Some nice 5 doors here keep up the good work

 

[Erros]

Nice car man ... maintained ... nice .
Some sugestion ...
Try to .. hm ... i don`t know how to say ... put leather on the doors ... (personal i hate that inexpensiv material on the doors)
And if u want another front bumper ... put a spoiler on a 3 doors car. It work 100% (fiat punto ... normaly)
Let the car down ... LOW LOW LOdW
This changes are cheap , but effective !
Only good for all
Sry for bad quality ... (nokia n73) ... :bang:
