Styling My Project Punto

[Nicky Swans]

The car when bought [Feb 2009]

The car this month [June 2009]

This is what I have done to it since purchase:

• 
  Head Gasket Replaced
  Starter Motor Replaced
  Air filter replaced
  Alloy wheels fitted
  2x Bass speakers fitted
  1x Sub Woofer fitted
  CD player installed (Not the best! Was free)
  New plates put on (Old ones were damaged)

And the best bit about all that, the only part I paid for was for the Sub Woofer which cost me £79.99

What I am planning to do is

• 
  Fill in the scratches
  Colour code the bumpers and wing mirrors
  Tint back windows
  Re-colour the interior (currently a bit faded)
  Fit a decent Air Induction kit
  Replace current exhaust
  Replace fan and coolant system

I suggest all Punto users should get FIATForum.com stickers!

Any comments and suggestions? This is my first car, insurance is very expensive so I don't want to go overboard.

Looks like a good base to start. Love black puntos full stop
How about clear side repeaters and clear front indicators?
Transforms the whole car I think

My dad said he would change them for me, got a spare Punto in his yard which he uses for parts for mine. Also changing the back lights, will show some photos on the weekend.

Pro-Lexus lights here!, mk2 ones looks amazing

My Punto is Mk1 but they are close to what will be put on. Think of them as a MK1 shape and a bit thicker.

Awesome My car is easily identified by the Swansea stickers on the back, I am beginning to dislike the two smaller ones though.. Thinking of removing them and just having the one in the back window.

Nice car, those lights will ruin the clean look of it though

If you've got a fair bit of patching up of paintwork to do, it's probably cheaper to get the whole lot resprayed. You can get them to colour code the bumpers at the same time!

Glad you're getting rid of the "Lexus" lights, they just don't look right on the Punto!

What amp you got running that bass tube?

Its got an inbuilt fusion amp nothing fancy though.

And it would cost too much to spray the whole car a lot cheaper to do it by myself, got all I need to do it, spray gun, garage, ramp, heat guns you name it

Halfords fusion = Pooh
Lexus lights = Pooh

Part from that its a nice clean example.
