Punto (Mk2/2b) Out with the old, in with the new (my punto mk2a progress thread).

Introduction

unfortunatly on fri 13th of all days i crashed my car :(
in the wet.
i wasnt speeding but the back end slid out as i was leavin a corner(bend in the road).
tryed controling it but it started snakin.managed to avoid all the oncoming traffick.but hit a parked car with the side of mine wich caterpulted me into the curb witch ripped the tire off the rim and that spun me into a 360 spin wich i managed to controle as the back end was lifting up i stopped it from roling onto the roof.im well gutted
i realy am devistated as id just got it to look how i wanted it.
but it could have been a lot worse. i could have hit the oncoming cars or roled it but i manged to avoid both with quick thinking.
i was unhurt. just realy shook up. (n)

You could always ask one of the mods to move it? if they can because you cant move it yourself as far as i know

sad news. snail had done a runner when i next whent to the car :cry:

no i havent sorted out the dtms out. was a ball ache to get the base plates so i gave up in the end lol. altho some are starting to be sold on ebay again now so mabe look into getting some again soon.
got one side skirt stuck on again and this time seems very sollid. so will be doing other side today so its ready for the trafford center meet tomorrow :D
next steps are.....

1. get the dints removed
2. thinking of spraying the roof liner like brin did as it actualy looks good.
3. get some type of cloth for the sun visors
4. spray the b pillers and rear pillers

im also waiting on some jbl 6x9s and a kenwood amp which i got off my mate but hes to remove them from his audi A3 first and also a mic for the sterrio as it has built in bluetooth.

lol i dint bother taking no pics as only 2 of us showed up to that meet lol. iv just finished off an oil and oil filter change. got some spark plugs but aint got a 16mm spark plug wrench. so will have to wait till weds to do that.

filled oil up but just let it settle so still to turn on engine for 5mins and let it settle yet. fear i may have over filled tho. not sure yet....

what do you think of this poss mesh mod? will use black mesh. maybe paint something in the middle of the mesh so it dont look ott. and get a square reg plate and put on top corner of bumper. or maybe just put the plate i got now hanging on the front at the bottom of the bumper so it looks like a splitter lol.

quick photoshop btw

Re: Out with the old, in with the new (my punto mk2a progress thread)

your bumper will have no strength at all like that! if you want to do mesh at the front cut the plastic out of the grill we already have at the front (like brins done)
 
Re: Out with the old, in with the new (my punto mk2a progress thread)

yeah i was thinking about how brenda's done his first but thort id do something different. and its still screwed in at top and bottom and the mesh will be in nice and tight so will hold bumper together. so surely be as strong???
 
Re: Out with the old, in with the new (my punto mk2a progress thread)

i think the red bonnet and roof would look pretty good actually, i think if you smoothed the bumper too and possibly bad boy bonnet would look nice and mean!
Would you do anything with the boot colour wise or just leave it red?
