Punto (Mk2/2b) My Punto MK2b

Introduction

Hi everyone,
Its not the first time I've showed off a new Fiat on this forum! I used to have a poor little '99 Seicento Sporting Abarth but its was pretty toast.. So now I've got a new baby, its newer and bigger...
A MK2b '03 Punto Active Sport 1.2 8v.. I've driven it once so far and I'm already hooked.. just can't get enough of these little Italian cars!

Regards,
Rhys
Just got some touch up paint. Found it on eBay. Just to touch up a few areas here and there. Just need some spray paint and lacquer for the wing mirrors and door handles.

This is the spray you want then if the paint number was correct that someone said earlier: http://ebay.us/OFPSPG

This is around average price and should be plenty spare for you after your couple of jobs

:D
 
Will I need a spray lacquer too?

Yes absolutely otherwise it will be constant chipping with grip. Also I would recommend some good primer. :) But you can get some from your local hardware store. Normally if you tell them what colour your going from and to they will recommend the best if you don't have much knowledge.

Ok, so I'll need to get the mirrors off the car, key the surface, prime, paint, lacquer and then wack them back on?

Yeah that's all except if it was me as applying lacquer I would leave them overnight to dry just in case you get any finger marks on them. I'm pretty sure there is a guide on how to do them on here
 
i had some silver/grey abarth centre cap stickers on my sei that would probobly suit your car im thinking about some for mine, more subtle than the red ones only about £5 from ebay

Just swapped over my windscreen wipers. I've now been converted to the aero windscreen wipers!

Changed them this morning and noticed a difference almost straight away. Firstly, they look so much nicer on my car, and secondly they clean my windscreen on the first sweep! Best wipers ever!

What size wipers are they? Was looking at some myself. Did you grab em from halfords etc or from Internet?
 
Long time and no upgrades! Work does keep you busy doesn't it?!

Finally got round to buying something for my little Punto that I think it's deserved for a while now...

I've put on some sill protector kick plates. I think it adds so much to my car and gives it that sporty, upmarket appeal when opening the door. Plus a bit of cheap luxury ?

See pictures below ?
