Last picture is my Fav, That lovely sticker from that lovely forum, hmmmmmm i wonder who that could be

 

[imported_Matthew]

Theres a few pics from what it was to what it is now although recent pics dont have colour coded door handles and brake drums as they were only done the other day inbetween rain showers lol

any thoughts or comments? x

 

[imported_Matthew]

Found some more pics

Excuse the corsa but i like them pics of my car hehe x

 

[imported_Matthew]

Yeah jodie i love them torque italia stickers have one on the other side aswell and one on the top drivers side of my windscreen too x

Very nice!

You know, a nice FS sticker on that rear window would look good too

 

[imported_Matthew]

Thanks

If i had a FS sticker im sure i could find a nice wee spot for it!!

Any ideas on the car coz im bored with it the now and need to find something else to do with it hehe? x

 

[ycming]

love that colour, a 1368 16v would slot nicely in there

 

[imported_Matthew]

Haha yeah id love a faster engine but far too much hassle to do an engine swap considered trading in for a sporting or something but then it would just be standard and pointless considering whats been done to this car Slow for Show it is at the moment x

 

[muppet42]

Not bad at all

I'd maybe lower even further on coilovers (something I'm considering myself), stick Abarth skirts on and maybe smooth the front and rear bumpers a bit. Strutbrace on the front could be an option too though guessing like the Stilo you need to drill some holes to bolt it in place, which can be a bit of a pita.

Oh Ming, always going for the Bigger Engine....
Mathew nice looking Mk2 there.

 

[imported_Matthew]

Thanks andi.

Yeah i was looking to go lower but as im still a student i dont exactly have a big budget or any budget for that matter ) mk2 looks ace with the front and back smoothed so shall be looking into it The abarth skirts were high on my to buy list earlier this year but i couldnt find a decent set anywhere at all, most were fibreglass which has to be trimmed and all sorts coz they dont directly fit which is rather silly if you ask me, if any1 heres of a decent set come up then let me know

cheers x

 

[muppet42]

Stuff on here perhaps (though some is of questionable taste in my opinion :laugh ... http://www.madmotors.co.uk/bodykits-spoilers-14000/body-kits/fiat/fiat-punto-mk2.html ...and in terms of sideskirts, Lester's a name that's been recommended as doing a good version of the standard Abarth skirts on the Stilo, so I'd guess they'd be decent on the Punto. Look like this...

...ABS plastic as well, so better impact resistance

 

[mrcinquecento]

looks good my mk2 hgt was the same colour

 

[imported_Matthew]

Ill check out them skirts and see whats what thanks.

Thats the kit id love on my car but there rather hard to get a hold of a genuine and good condition one these days x

 

[imported_Matthew]

So finally a wee bit of progress with the car this week new front tyres arrived, Toyo T1R's fitted, balanced and new track rod end fitted and tracking sorted and running straight As for tomorrow i shall have my backbox fitted, booked into Meerkat Exhausts at 9, so a wee early start unfortunetly should hopefully have some pics up tomoz afternoon and shall report how good the job is x

 

[imported_Matthew]

Thats the backbox made and fitted sounds really good when your foots down with a nice deep rumble and barely noticeable when driving normally. Really pleased x

 

[muppet42]

Nice one, how much did you pay for it incidentally?
