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
Finally got the centre console I've wanted for a while. Managed to swap my HGT one for a Sporting console in great condition. So much more practical for my motorway miles ?

Also finally, after three centre consoles, I've got one that has a working cigarette lighter light!

While I had the console off, I replaced one of the dashboard bulbs, so now everything is working perfectly! (Albeit one bulb is brighter than the rest!)

Love the stripe across the window but can't find it anywhere! Where did you get it from? And did you paint all the plastic interior parts? Was considering painting my interior and also the metal in the engine. Gone for a black/red colour scheme on my punto as it's black
 
I did this today and I'm actually quite happy! Nothing like a good bit of colour coding ? I also fitted my induction kit! I love it so much!

Did you clean all your engine bay yourself? Also where did you get abarth letters from for across the battery strap?

Also where did you get the pipe for your washer piper from?

:)

I did my Italian stripe myself with a bit of insulation tape ? I sprayed the air vents and money holder, but painted the engine parts and lock stalks by hand ?

I did clean the engine bay myself, I got the Abarth letters on the battery strap off eBay. And I also got the washer pipe from eBay too ?

Hi thanks for the reply, anychance of a link to the abarth letters. Also what did you use and what method to clean engine?

Also just saw where did you get the chrome bonnet holder?

Thanks
 
The chrome bonnet holder is actually the original bonnet holder! I just gave it some TLC with the metal polish! I just cleaned the blue bits with a sponge, the metal I gave a good degrease first, then spent about 3/4 hours sanding it down with progressively less coarse sandpaper, and finished it off with a dose of metal polish! Be prepared to get ridiculously dirty and worn out! It's not a job for the faint hearted! The top mounts are just spray paint, I sprayed it into the cap and painted it by hand with a brush!

Here's a link to the Abarth stickers, hope it's alright! http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/161519864549?txnId=1226240841006
