hi guys i have a black mk2 punto, i am looking to improve on the styling . Other than the normal (alloys ect.) Does anyone have any useful tips or ideas which may help me along the way?? I was thinking more along the lines of euro styling, or slight enhancements on the standard design, rather than chaved up, wide arch body kits ect
many thanks

thanks brin, really like your car it looks smart but still remains semi-standard looking and not ott. Mine is also the 3dr model i had already considered removing the bump strips from the doors is it a messy job?? (was worried what state the adhiesive would be in?).
have you done any work on it under the bonnet?? thanks for your reply

Don't get lexus because i know you might be thinking it and use autoglym tar remover stuff or petrol to get rid of the crap.

Yh i painted cam cover and mounting red, and i have a k&n induction kit:
btw auto glym tar remover gets rid of the sticky stuff for removing bump strips
And black lexus lights dont look too bad on a black punto i really like them plus iv just tinted mine black aswel:
your car needs a clean boi
yh cleaned it yestaday and now its rained\again so dirty again lol
:yeahthat:
The car pictured in this thread is a bad example imho, lexus lights are chavvy, the induction kit is placed ontop of the engine block so is taking in hot air, therefore LOWERING performance and painting the rear drums any other colour than black is a bad idea. Shows it has no rear disks so no real power. Thats my opinion anyways.
I think the best way to mod a car is look at as many examples of modded punto's you can, on here, google, other punto sites, and look at what most people do...............then do something completely different.
The best looking punto's are the most unique ones that employ the most quirky mods. So get thinking

Black rear and side windows.
I'm not so sure about de-stripping unless you want to avoid car parks for the life of the car.
Intake kit adds next to no power without engine/ECU mods so why put up with the noise. Ditto noisy exhaust cans.

True mate,
Tbh i love the noise of induction kits thats why i got one, its not too loud and you dont have to have a plant pot at back of your car for noise.
Also debage your boot they just pull off do the PUNTO and FIAT badges
Lights are up to you mate tint the standard ones if you want its personal choice really, just make sure you have black lights on a black punto looks good.
BTW i just clocked 108mph in my punto 1.2l 8v on a flat surface dual carriage way, and that was with k&n punto like mine comes out of the factory to do 96mph

No worries his speedo over-reads +10% so its not really going any faster than standard.
108MPH on the clock? so about 98 in real life then. No really, it is, i had mine clocked at just over 110 and my sat nav only said 100
Also, nothing done to my car apart from, well, nout

how do u colour code wing mirrors ?
take off the wing mirrors from car,
mask the mirror so it doesnt get painted,
sand the plastic until smooth with wet and dry medium grit,
spray 3 coats of grey plastic primer,
when dry gently sand with wet and dry fine grit to get back smooth,
3 coats of colour coded paint,
3 coats of laquer for shine and extra protection
Wtf? that was random.
