Punto (Mk2/2b) Punto mk2a 1.2 8v

[iLeno]

Looks like a tidy motor!

What have you done to it so far and what are the future plans?

 

[Sheffieldfiat]

Ive fully colour coded the front and rear bumper, wing mirrors, door handles and washer jets.
New back box, which I decided to cut the rear bumper for instead of having it sit below.
Put some cheap 17" alloys on and painted calipers and drums red.
I tinted out the back three windows.
Also instead of removing the sidestrips I decided to colour code them and stick them back on.
I also put a sporting spoiler on it.

Interiorally.

installed the upgraded clocks with rev-counter and temp gauge etc.
Also fully new speaker system with sub in the boot.

Future mods.

I'd like to get some Abarth sideskirts
Get some black alloys and smoke the rear lights and side repeaters to give a sort of dark detailing on light paintwork.

really nice,i love the colour coding that been done

not so keen on the alloys but you say your replacing them anyway

Looks really good m8. Has the punto had a full respray ive never seen a Punto in that Metalic before

 

[Sheffieldfiat]

Not had a respray mate no. Just sprayed the bumpers, door handles and wing mirrors. Have access to a bodyshop with a spraybooth so getting a quality finish is easily achievable

Update

Installed hawk remote locking kit, however the fuse went on the wires that make the hazards flash, so ive got to get some new fuses to get that to work. Locks and unlocks fine though

how much did you pay for the updated clocks (rev counter ect) was they a mission to change?

Got them for about £20 of ebay. As for fitting them its easy, just unplug the old one a plug the new one in, no new wiring is required. I think there is a guide for it in the guide section.

 

[mk2punto2001]

cheerz, did you wire the rev counter and temperature gauge up ?

Nah there on the cluster already. The wires are already there. Fiat just choice not to give the lower spec puntos rev counter, obviously so the people who bought the higher models felt as though they were getting a superior model.

ahh ryte, magic, what about the mielage though, the ecu wont recognise it will it?

you have to get one with lower mileage than your and get fiat to proxy aline it

 

[mk2punto2001]

ahh ryte, hmmm if i do it ill just let miealage bar flash then when it comes to mot renewal or selling the car ill refit the factory one.

 

[Fiatpuntomk2b]

you could do that be i think over time it would get anoying,i think its only something like 30 quid to get it done so not too much

 

[mk2punto2001]

yeahh it would, hmmm 30 quid dont sound to bad but someone has said fiat charge £60, i wouldnt pay that just for rev counter n temp gauge

 

[Sheffieldfiat]

Smoked out my rear lights tonight, its gone dark now so its difficult to tell what they look like, hopefully get some pictures up tommorow

Also wondering if anyone has any opinions on tinted wind deflectors for the front windows..worth it or not?
