Styling The Resurrection of my Punto Sporting.

[VII CKS]

Other random pictures after she had a clean, and also my friend bought a 1.6 Cab, was in a bit of a tatty condition when he got it just a wingmirror and some rust to see to, but funnily enough I had a drive of it and it feels no faster than my sporting!

And another thing I updated my interior that I bought off james, my front seat didnt recline they were dirty, had holes in them, so swapped them both over, just a couple of bolts and now I have clean, fully working front seats.

Thought I had a ticket then, but it was a leaflet to a local car show! Panic all over.
Next full service, and then starting work on debadging what hasn't been already.

This car looks the dog b******s mate, absolutely love what you have done to it so far.

Personally I would try and source a sporting spoiler for the back to extend the lines a bit.

 

[karbineftw]

I love it! I really do.
Perhaps you could have refurbed your sportings and kept it more "sporting" if you get me? Done them in anthracite?
And on your list you said you were going to colour code the wing mirrors but aren't they colour coded already?

Thankyou, I am trying to keep it subtle but effective, and it's a paint o keep it clean.

I am trying to source an abarth spoiler, again subtle yet effective. Missed out on a couple on eBay but looking to extend the lines a bit as you say, just give it some shape at the rear end.

I was going to but then I quite like the Konig's, but I have thought of the GT3 alloys in that anthracite. But I am now on the search actually for some 16'' Fiat Coupe Alloys, like the ones that are on the Turbo's, and going to have them sprayed in gunmetal/anthracite, but not black. Then lower it but only a healthy 40mm perhaps.

Yes I want to colour code the base plates though just so it looks alot more colour coded and fresh all over.

Nice clean looking Sporting there! well done!

If you change the alloys to the coupe or GT3 alloys, change the side repeaters so they are smoked. That always looks good!

 

[VII CKS]

Have that planned, I really one coupe alloys though, I prefer more gappy alloys, like either multispoke, or something like Lenzo RS5's.

Plans will be tinted indicators, side repeaters, morettes if not black angel FK eyes, and tinted rear lights.

You might want to look into re-aligning your bonnet as well, you have a huge gap down one side!

Have you done anything to the dash? Thought about Plasma dials or anything?

I am actually awaiting for my Inxx bonnet lifters to arrive, a nice little modification, so will sort the aligning of the bonnet out then as it's been annoying me as well.

Inside, I replaced a couple of sporting seats, so now they all recline and are tidy. Apart from that I have Isotta mats, colour coded yellow/black leather gear gaiters, and Novitec carbon fibre vent and control surrounds. I was looking to get a GT3 steering wheel, and then start upgrading all the LED's.

Are there anymore updates to your sporting vicks? I enjoyed re-reading through this thread.

The INXX ones are the chrome bonnet struts. They're not the bits of metal which lift up the back to aid cooling...

Aye. They are also pretty handy to have instead of that horrible standard bonnet holder, for ease
