Punto (Mk2/2b) Peter's mk2a Punto

[Fiatpuntomk2b]

Welcome to fiat forum

nice starting block for a project,what are you plans for it ?

First thing i would try and do depending on your budget,is to colour code everything,bumpers, mirrors and handles

looks nice and shiny

i was thinking of just buying sporting bumpers

i was also thinking insted of changing the bumpers, i was going to smooth them of and put some deep dish on think it would set it off.

yeah it is nice and shiney spent all of the morning polishing it .

don't wanna spend to much on it, my plans are to get a grande punto 1.9 jtd chip it to 160+ bhp and that will be me lol

your gonna have to spend a fair amount if you want deep dish

car looks good though

 

[dj peter h]

i know, but then hopefully if i was to get them, they might fit the grande punto, are they 4x98?

grande has a different center bore which i think is bigger so you can use spigot rings

if i was you and was going to be getting a new car soon,i wouldnt bother spending anymore more on the car you have now,other than keeping it clean and maintaining it.

that way you can save your money for more stuff to do on the grande

i think i might try and spray them myself, never done before, but theres always a starting point, if it goes horrible wrong, i'll go with the sporting bumpers lol

paint wont stick to that plastic unless you do a hell of a lot of prep work

plus because its rattle can it wont stand up very well against stone chips etc

gp's are 4x100 iirc so u could fit them with wobbly bolts.... but the center bore and offset are also different so be careful if u plan on fitting them on the punto and the gp. nice base car to play with tho.

I agree good starting point if wanna do things on a budget them imo you cant go wrong with a set of sporting alloys you can pick them up cheap enough, check out the classifieds i think i saw a set on there...best of luck with it

As said rattle.cans won't do a great job tbh sorry mate

If your wanting to smooth a bumper will cost you around 50 in supplies if your doing it yourself as I did but if your wanting it professionally smoothed and sprayed around 300 matemate

Not a fan of deepdish tbh but each to there own my wing mirrors lasted about a year with rattle cans now they are rough and need sanding back tbh

You can spend a lot of money if your wish mate...just be aware you won't get a penny back it's all self satisfaction I learnt that in the long run lol

colour coded would be a nice start, then as said above sporting alloys and maby some abarth side skirts if you can stretch to that before you buy your 1.9

 

[dj peter h]

don't think i'll be doing much know.

water pump just went compelted cooked the engine, no warning lights what so ever,

getting my mate round to see the damage tomorrow, if it runs into money might have to keep it off the road for abit, or get my old man to pay for it , then pass down to my youger sister for nothing

This color is nice.
The hubcaps are original?
