Styling Newbie- sporting help/ideas

[Crail cruiser]

Hi Guys

I'm a newbie to the forum and to modding cars, got a silver MKII punto sporting & would like to do a few bits & bobs to it. Just little things (I think), and would appreciate any advice or tips you guys could give.

Debadging- rear mainly, want rid of the fiat sign & poss the punto to just
leave the sporting sign. Some m8s on other cars just used a hairdryer to heat the glue & take them off, is it same for punto?

Mirrors- seen some sweet puntos with the mirrors colour coded, but unlike some they have had really smooth finishes. Any ideas how much this would cost?

Rub strips- toying with getting colour coded or removin them, anyone any experience of this?

Door handles- can you buy them colour coded or is it a paint job?

light brows / masks- anyone got any good sites/companies for these?

kick / sill plates- again anyone recommend any sites/companies?

Sorry if this has been covered in previous posts, but my computer is so slow it'd take me a week to get thru them.

Cheers

hi welcome to the forum

I welcome to the forum matey!

In addition to sammi's answers(lol)...

Yea the same way applies to debadge heat them up and pull em off!

To colour code your mirrors is a job you could do urself, u need to go down various grades of sandpaper to get rid of that plastic "grain" then you will need to plastic prime them and sand after each coat then apply the paint and sand with even finer grit paper and finally apply the laquer!

Removing rubstrips is a similar process to the badges but be careful when pulling them off as the glue tends to be really well stuck and also the colour underneath may well be different due to paint fade

Handles are a paint urself job exactly the same process as the mirrors

Avoid the light brows in my opinion but if you do fancy them (each to there own) them try RGM

GTgraphix do sill plates for your car and you can have anything written on them @ £25 a set!

Hope this helps mate! happy modding and enjoy the forum!

Any chance you could give me the website addresses for GT graphix & RGM, tried to find them online but had no luck.

Thanks in advance!

Same ones ive got ive got pics of them on my car on my PC at work so ill put them up .

 

[wolfracepunto]

nice one, im thinking of getting them after ive got my spoiler and skirts on and when ive found a baseplate for mirrors.
Did u spray them up yourself??

 

[puntonovice]
