Hey I currently own a Punto mk2 and I was thinking if there's any wing mirror mod that could fit that replaces the original ones. Thanks.

you might need to be a bit more specific in what you want to achieve.
you can modify wing mirrors in a multitude of ways, what exactly is it you want to do?
Uk we have to have them ?Tbh, about the only mod I ever thought to do on my MK II mirrors is remove them altogether because:
a. They reduce the speed of the vehicle and
b. One gets better gas mileage with both mirrors removed.
"Slipstreamed" Punto.
The only thing I am interested in when I am riding my Punto is better gas mileage. If I want to impress I get on my Mercedes SLK.

In UK units, an Imperial Gallon of Unleaded 95 costs 9.10 euros.
One can install internal mirrors port & stbd as well as a double-sized center mirror to replace the externals removed.
In fact, in my Mk II I have installed a double-sized center mirror over the original one as well as port side internal mirror.
When on the highway, I drive with both external mirrors folded. They are unnecessary.
Dunno about that, I paid £1:27 per litre at the weekend, with an exchange rate of €1.14 that makes €6:58 per litre.
You are freaking out for no reason. With my extra large center mirror and PS (driver's side) internal mirror, I get a perfectly adequate view of the port side of the car. Overtaking from the starboard side of the car is illegal, so the stbd side mirror on the highway is unnecessary.
No, you pay 1,446 euros per litre or 6.57 euros per Imp. Gallon.

Are you quite serious? How do you reverse safely anywhere remotely tight or public? Ah, am guessing you never noticed how easy it is to use mirrors, nor have ever driven a large vehicle. Cameras can replace them, anything else you are fooling yourself. Any legal exceptions you might find were never intended for a normal car.
And any fuel saving is laughable.
