Re: My Mk2b
thats true but what i didnt tell you is i have a set of 17' abarth alloys with low profiles in my shed but i think they look to big for the car not sure weather to put them on. pluss the size increase on the width of the tire compared to my 15' black rims might cause strain on my gearbox etc

Re: My Mk2b
if u get low profile tyres fitted to keep the rolling radius the same as stock, it wont put strain on the gearbox, but ur right bout 17s (generally) looking too big on puntos.

Re: My Mk2b

Re: My Mk2b
Why not? The first mechanical thing I ever did to my car was change the clutch. No-one was born knowing how to do anything, and the only way to learn is to have a go. Ok, having someone who knows how would be a good help, but a Haynes manual and a little common sense should see you through. Not to mention the sense of self satisfaction when you do it yourself.49.99 and i wouldnt atempt it if you dont know much about cars or even if you havnt changed one before, you dont want to end up making bigger bills for urself
EDIT: i get discount price's because i fix cars for them when they need help on weekends

Re: My Mk2b
mate i reckon keep te black wheels,lower it 35mm or 50mm,take off side bump strips,colour code mirrors and handles,smooth boot. now that will look sexy,plus maybe a gsr induction kit just for a nice roar and a little bhp gain,also i heard you mention seat covers. if you wanna go all out you could buy alfa romeo 147 leather seats and they fit in. the fronts are straight swaps but the backs need some patience and hard graft.
also some metal pressed plates will look nice and give it a bit more of an eye catching look

Re: My Mk2b
Liking the car mate. Looks good in that colour
agree that white alloys or silver 16" would look better.
Liking the Debadged grill. never thought that they looked good on the blue puntos. but it seems to work with your color scheme
you thought about smooth siding?

Re: My Mk2b
cheers man i love the look of yours, erm i wanted to smooth side it but im not to sure about the line it leaves , i know theres no paint difference or scratches left if done correctly but it leaves a line still unless you get resprayed , also i have a house thats got cerment cover with stone chippings in so if you park down the drive and wind blows ur door into the house your fked, that bit of ****ty plastic has saved me on many occasions lol

Re: My Mk2b
Smooth siding is relatively easy to do, just used a heat gun on it and pulled it. came straight off. same method as debadging the tailgate. AutoGlym Tar remover is excellent for everything thats left. Plus that "line" is easy to get rid of using a bit of T-Cut.
However have had my door blown into a wall since which bent it. exactly where the plastic would have been.
Dont let that put you off, was a freak accident
Thanks for the praise on my Punto. Take a look through my thread LINKY. Induction and Lowering springs are for slae now as well, and the car will be going in the summer
