Punto (Mk2/2b) my new punto MK2 :D

[Jamie MK2]

went down to wicklow for a DTDIRL car meet and stopped off with my mate for a few pics before joining up with all the other honda's and all

Fair to say, the punto looks the best
half my pics half his

 

[eamonnf]

defo mate, I have checkered ford past and a bit of a perversion for anything with a blue oval but without a doubt your motor has the edge...

 

[BANG TIDY]

^ Yup that....


Have you any pictures of the meet itself?

Also, that fiesta looks farely "standard" to me....

Lovely to see you back to your old ways Jamie
Loving the Punto, i agree with BANG TIDY, a splitter would look banging, i've been looking for a Stilo/Laguna splitter myself but, well, yeah. Been a expensive month
Whack that on and lower it

ooooh
im thinking of replacing the hid's with yellow bulbs instead
yellow fogs, hi beams and low beams?

Hid's give terrible light
last night it was foggy and lashing rain, couldnt see a thing

Jesus, that bad? Surely HID's would be clearer than Yellow fogs? (Saying that, im no expert on HIDs, every time i mention them about my car, i instantly get shot down )

nope, HID's dont give any light in wet weather,
hard to put it but its like the light just bounces off the road instead of lighting it up if ya get me

where as yellow, will light up the road better in wet conditions as it wont reflect back as much

hard to put it tbh :bang:

i had yellow headlights on a motorbike before and it was the best thing i ever done 1. looked cool and 2. i stood out from everything else on the roads

see here -> yellow seems to like stick to the road where as the HID's bounce off it http://blog.onexhid.com/wp-content/...10-h11-9006-9004-880-fog-light-kit-yellow.jpg

I understand where you're coming from mate don't worry
I do agree, the yellow does look pretty good. When it comes to down to it, safety over style every time mate. So just going to get some Yellow bulbs from Halfords/eBay?
and also, im so green about those Abarth Sideskirts mate

Them "yellow" bulbs are an instant N.C.T fail and are illegal, I not sure about the fogs. But if you have them HIDs with the slight "blue" shade, there legal.

cant be?
old french cars had them standard

lights which are yellow or white in color are fine?

anyway it only a simple bulb swap

Mate, its only a word of warning.

The white HIDs with the slight blue shad in them. The Same lights that new cars have.

MCG Autostyling in kells
there 8k though, id say 6k would be much better

 

[m20b25]

Ah there's your problem... 6000K HIDs are much better. Dad had 8000Ks on his old Ducato, light was good but not great. Yellows cut the eyes off everyone, used to have a set on the Seicento :devil:
