Looks nice and clean

tint rear windows as dark as legally possible

Anything back from the front doors (ie after the B pillar) can be as dark as you want (including limo 100% black); the law applies to forward of the B-pillar tint wise

Like start you have made there, i would try and either cc your front/back bumper or get coloured replacements. Wheels look sweet and really suit the car. Whats the difference between the Punto window washer jets and the xsara ones? I would colour code them too, thats what i did with mine.

The rear tribal Fiat design in brilliant and i would probably have that on mine actually, Were did you get it? lol. What exhaust look you going for?

xsara jets spray a fine mist instead of 3 small jets however they are not a direct fit and must be glued into the bonnet when fitting.

rear decal was from ebay. should be able to find it if you search for "punto tribal graphics" or something along those lines.

as for exhaust... i will just be going for the ashley cat back system available from their site as i like the look and sound of the backbox i currently have on. just gonna step it up to the full system and do away with those crappy standard fiat pipes lol.

 

[punto_matt]

Good project. IMO i would ditch all the graphics you have put on as they look pretty chavvy. Why debage it to stick stickers all over it telling people what it is? Sort of defeats the point of it no?

This imo is the best looking 5dr punto i have seen and it has just been done in a subtle way which is all a punto needs to look good

 

[Davey Prater]

Lol thanks matt

 

[alexm22]

That gives me a fellow 5 door inspiriration, i'm sure it will be great, looking forward to seeing what your rear tinted lights look like, due to the fact i have a five door and I'm finding it hard to find any examples of there lights being tinted.

Cool project mate keep up the good work

Cool project mate keep up the good work

I need some information about the induction kit because I think that a scoop-style induction(Green carbon for example) with a bigger loop(fron punto mk1 85hp) would be better.

Suspension
Not lower than 35-40 mm.Eibach springs,not apex,not HR.Or colover kit Koni 1150 inox or KW Variant2 or Variant3.Or else Bilstein Sprint shocks with Eibach springs.Do not put only springs,that's very important!

 

[jay_mz89]

I have those alloys for my mk1, not fitted yet!

 

[Car nut]

Billy,

Nice looking clean car.
Things I would have done different for what its worth

Pic 1) CC front bumper no transfer on windscreen left badge on instead

Pic 2) Even though the back looks very smooth is it practical when it persists with rain... Also CC the rear bumper and no transfer

Look forward to seeing future pics of WiP....

 

[MattMk1]

that would be mint on some dished wheels, and a good thwack from the lowering stick

 

[Punto Sam]

Thats pretty smart that!! good looking 5dr.

few questions though...

How easy was it to debadge the bonnet? cos you've done a pretty good job! any advice on it?

and the black bump strips on the doors, are they just stuck on? cos on some cars they have popper things..

Cheers

 

[Car nut]

Billy, how much has the project cost you roughly ?

 

[Munkul]

i love those alloys. Nice one on colourcoding the mirrors and handles, most people are too lazy...

all IMO you need is to take off the stickers, get colourcoded bumpers and sideskirts, and lowered 50mm.

You can fit the front bumper of a 3 door to your car no problem, i wonder what it would look like? :chin:

just please dont fit a massive gash looking fibreglass bodykit

When CC mirrors does everyone leave the bit of plastic between mirror and body black ??
