Punto (Mk2/2b) My Punto MK2b

[wrightyy]

Cheers, I've really got to find it somewhere. I've got a few bits that need patching up on my car so it would be useful if I could find it soon!

Ring your local Fiat dealership if you can't find it yourself. Tell them your registration and they'll provide the paint code for you

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

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

The most important step when colour coding black plastic is to apply a plastic adhesion promoter before coating it with primer otherwise the paint will flake off quite soon!

The only badge that I hadn't changed on my car is now done!

Brought a cheap badge off eBay from Portugal. Just adds a bit of colour and finishes the look and adds abit of consistency to my car.

Here it is:

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?

 

[Punto Sutty]

Give your wiper arms a coat of gloss black to finish them off. Its a little detail that will make a big difference

They are cheap versions of Bosch aeros. I got them from a shop called The Range near me. Only £3.99 each and they look and work so much better!

just got myself some flat wiper blades i think theyre the same as aero just dont have the shape, the wipers are 22" and 18" incase anyone was wondering

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 ?
