Recently I bought 15" Alloys to replace the standard ones that come with but they ended up not fitting This being my first car I wasn't aware there was other sizes. Any info on what I'm looking for would be appreciated

Nice, it really sets of the bay, how about detailing the engine bay next ?

any pictures of the wind deflectors fitted ? which ones did you go for ?

 

[ross75]

Detailing? Do you mean cleaning her up?

I'll get pictures of the wind deflectors soon. I got the 'team heko' ones as all my mates told me they're the best

Yes pritty much and getting it as shiny as possible.

Yer the team heko ones are definatly the best ones to go for on any car.

Considering your car is newer than mine (same colour) and has considerably less miles, you have a lot of visible rust around the strut tops, mine doesn't have a spot in this area in fact I've never seen a mk2b like that!?

Otherwise a very nice looking car

I'll have to get round to buying new bolts all round.

I am the second owner. It used to be a grans disability car when I bought it, Left out in the rain, mold growing. It clearly hadnt been clean nor looked after very well so thats why it looks a bit rough.

if that's up under the bonnet i would pay special attention to the bottom of the car and check out Ziggy122 thread on bumblebee and his efforts to stop his car rusting this is a pretty common problem on mk2 puntos and seeing as yours is already showing rust in some unusual places under the bonnet its well worth checking out the usual places under the car as these may already be quite bad

Yeah I went through every post on Ziggys BumbleBee. I'll give it a scrub here and there but I don't plan on keeping the car for very long. It was bought simply to build my no-claims up on a small engine car, which come April it will have.

Next year it will cost me more to insure this again than a 1.4T car. Will take a few notes from Ziggy and make sure its not going to fall apart on me soon.

Note; Driving home yesterday the red steering wheel indicator popped up on my dash. The power steering was still active and after a few start ups it was gone
