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)

they look really nice

good work (y)

cheers mate. i like how there matt black but the very centre bit of the centre cap is gloss. so it wont clash and will add a lil matchin tuch to the window tints when i get em.
still unsure what fiat these are off tho :confused:

Ok, so whilst i was up at my dads house spraying my 2nd alloy, whilst i was waiting for the primer to dry i put my de-tango headlights on (chrome indicator bulbs came this mornin). So i wil get pics up of them when i get round to cleanin the car. Giving sanding a wheel a rest tonight as im getting bad blisters on my thumb. Wil pick up back on the wheels tomorrow :)

is £60 worth a full set of 2nd hand tyres? unsure what the condition would be and what thread. its what the garage where i got the width measured quoted me
 
Re: Out with the old, in with the new (my punto mk2a progress thread)

how much thread depth would you say is acceptable at that price?
i want to get new tyres but realy cant afford around £300 at the moment lol
I paid £60 the other day for one, and its a sh*t brand. Anyways, around 0.5mm for that cheap lol but you dont really want them unless there above 2-3mm i assume. 1.6mm is the limit isnt it ;S
