This is what it looked like completely standard and untouched. (And washed )

Next on the list was to remove the punto letters on the boot and remove the bumper strips from both sides:

Then, In November my missus bought me some 6x9's and I ordered a FF sticker for the back window. Also bought a JVC KD-R411 HU which was excellent value for money, only cost me £70 in sales so was rather happy with that! :

The newest edition to the Mk3 is an edge subwoofer (double) that i bought yesterday and also fitted yesterday, sounds great but just running it in at the minute so no major sound pollution yet!

those wires hanging down are 6x9 wires which i need to tidy up

Saw some seats in a corsa c and they were really nice, was just wondering how I would know what car seats can be taken out of to fit in a Punto Mk2b/3? And if not where could I buy some made specifically for my car, but different designs?

sporting is straight fit pal, and the alfa 147 the front seats are a straight fit just the rear 1s need a bit of a tinkering with the brackets

oh right well i've got some decent seat covers on but i need to take them plastic bits off the side of the front seats so i can fit the bottom seat cover bit snug cos its baggy at the min. Cheers mate, deffo see you at the yorkshire meet, should hopefully have a fair bit done by then cos its just interior stuff so far

 

[Ryan Mk3]

Just recently sprayed my center console white and my HU Fascia white aswell, spraying my door card upholstery black and plastic door card part white soon aswell.

Was just wondering were i can get the focus induction kit, cant find it on fleabay and i was lookin for a sportex backbox but they all seem to be for the mk2 16v on the site?

Any pics of these?

I've got the same Mk2b and colour, do the bump strips on the side just pull off after the hairdryer thing or do they require anything else? It looks really good.

in a word, yes...
best way is heating em up and using fishing wire to cut through it so u dont pull away the paint as well. then a bit of elbow grease and some tar remover or the such to remove the left over glue. i just used wd-40 to soften it up and a few hours rubbing it off then t-cut to finish it off.

have a look at the guides section for more in depth info.

I'll pst up pictures tomorrow, to busy with work lately to do anything. As bad as it sounds i heated up my bump strips with a hairdryer and i filed down a ice scraper for the windscreen so it was a rounded end and there was barely any glue left, and like was said earlier, bit of wd-40 and something to remove it with, works a treat, only took me about 45 minutes for the punto letters and bump strips

Got some savage light tinting spray today. I was wondering cos i have the mk2b with the rear bumper reflectors, would that mean that i should tint the full cluster or leave the bottom reflector unsprayed still? Also should i clear laquer it aswell?
