been out spending again just sprayed parts of my dash with that follia tech interior spray, i am really impressed with the results so i recomend it to any1. Also I just fitted a sparco gear knob and gaiter aswell as a simonini racing handbrake and gaiter combo. Am planning on getting my 17's in about four weeks but in the mean time am getting a pair of component speakers for the front as the standard 1s distort when ever i turn the volume up on the sub

Meesh taller cars are affected more by sidewinds.Cars that are low wide and have wide tires are the most stable in windy conditions.Spoilers help, Imagine doin 70 into a 70mph headwind.The backend wud be decked(dependin on functionality of spoiler)

Posted By: scoop Re: Punto Drivers : fiat punto - 27th Jan 2005 10:26pm
U fitted a kit withut sprayin it? smack

Nonono m8
1. They look awful
2. They are very easily damaged when not painted. Ive seen about 3 cars with kits on only in there primed state and the primer just washes away and it takes a lot off filler with it. These kits are effectively made of filler. Unless its a plastic one where all thats gonna happen to it is scuffs galore. Ur choice m8 but i will be so surpriesed if the kit is in exactly the same cindition the day u get it sprayed as it was wen it was in the box.

Just my opinion and i think u made a mistake. Hope u make it thru next 2 months ok
Posted By: learner Re: Punto Drivers : fiat punto - 28th Jan 2005 1:44pm
it doesnt look that bad, and the time it gets sprayed it will look spot on, to tell the truth. (which aint long now to get sprayed) smile

ive seen loads of cars with the body kits on and they havent had it sprayed yet, but they look no different then when they first put it on.

i think it looks ok rhys xx

Dont you think that was abit harsh? People have their reasons for not doing it all at the one time.

Rhys, it looks fine and it will look even better once sprayed.

Posted By: Dazza Re: Punto Drivers : fiat punto - 17th Feb 2005 7:22pm
With the comments on fitting a kit without spraying it - Scoop this is best idea as theres no point spraying to find it doesnt fit, and if you have to 'modify' it to fit theres a chance of scrathing/damaging the newly sprayed parts

its similar to aggys the garage couldnt get it off the lift arms when they lowered it back down once the springs were fitted. They are very stiff tho and any bump in the road make my car bang rather than absorb them. I will get used to it tho. If ya down the rock tonight i should be their.

y??? rhys's has the best mods id say!
Posted By: scoop Re: Punto Drivers : fiat punto - 2nd Oct 2005 5:22pm
My bad,didnt notice the word modded in there.As a modified car its beaten only by the escort jay bought. Ants isnt as loaded up but too many mods ruin a cossie so i like it as is. Rhys will be the best lookin but overall it loses to jay as the cossie engine is the height of modification IMHO. Nothin beats that in my eyes. If u offered me a full kit,interior and install. or justm a cossie lump to put in my car id take the engine over the asthetics any day

hey peeps am having ideas of selling the punto in the nxt couple of weeks or i am going to trade it in, seems a waste of money gettin the work done on it but it to late now. Hopefully this will help it sell easier am probably going to be looking for £4500 do you think this is reasonable considering it has just had a £1700 spray job.

i know but it aint going to be the turbo but i am aiming preferably at the 3.0 non turbo manual still 6.5-60 a big improvement to the punto.

You could always turbo it at a later date if you wanted couldn't you? think smile

GO FOR THE SUPRA!!! (but I'm bias as I've got one!!) happy

Manuals are good, but rare and hold their value. Don't dismiss the auto (...you may be surprised)

Check out MKIV Supra Owners Club , if you don't mind a bit of travelling you can pick up some really sweet machines for a good price.

If you can push to £10k, you could look at getting the AeroTop (roof off and dead sexy!)

They do tend to cost a bit if they go wrong (good old Rotary Wankel engine...gotta love that name!) also bit hefty on the servicing as well..

S'true.. the other thing you need to look out for when buying one is carbon build up on the tips of the rotors. Generally need to be replaced/cleaned every 60k miles or so....not cheap...but yep they're gorgeous alright...nice one here

no one is going to change my mind ive have set my heart on a supra, I dont want the turbo because this is a major increase on running cost. This is important seen as i do around 90miles a day. Supra it is!! end of nov begining od dec once ive sorted all my crimbo prezzies. Went and seen my car today i think its getting sprayed tomorrow looks sweet tho am going to be sorry to c it go now but it wont belong b4 ive forgot about it 3.0 24v ahhh mmmmmm ahhh mmmmm lol

I've got veilside on mine. Makes the front look sweet IMO, but there are a lot of Soops with this combo so not exactly original! Alot of Jap Imports come with the front bumper/rear wing combo fitted so U should be OK getting one.

Posted By: Johnny Alan Re: Punto Drivers : fiat punto - 28th Oct 2005 4:51pm
cheers peeps, nxt for the punto is its new front bumper, install resprayed in the flip, dash sprayed and nxt summer either a 1.4 turbo out of the mk1 or the 1.8 16v out of the new hgt. I think the 1.8 is easier as the mount are in the same place and hopefully it will just be easy enough to wire in the ecu. The engine in it is likeley to have 80000 on it nxt year so makes sence to change it.

side skirts are different, Rhys doesnt have headlight brows, both bumpers are different, that still has side repeaters whereas Rhys' doesnt, seats are different, bonnet is different, mirrors are different, it looks to be the older shape punto to Rhys' too, and appears to be a different colour aswell......but apart from that i guess it might look a tiny bit like it raftl
Posted By: learner Re: Punto Drivers : fiat punto - 31st Oct 2005 3:21pm
them lights on the back of that is U.G.L.Y thumbsdown
I think rhys likes them lights but he best not put them on his car thro.

and am not really liking the other paint job either, theres something about it and i just cant put my finger on it doh

i love that punto ssen it at a few cruises and at the nationals, this was the punto that kept me wanting to do more to mine, and that is the spoiler that i want but i dont know what it is i think it is a shogun or something similar am looking at getting one of these and the rear light to. And adam ur right it is the older model but it is the sporting one so will have the same interior but it a 16v wheras mine is only 8v confused

Take away the spoiler and the lights and that a lil weird very similar to yours with the old wheels, btw nice wheels mate.
side skirts are different, Rhys doesnt have headlight brows, both bumpers are different, that still has side repeaters whereas Rhys' doesnt, seats are different, bonnet is different, mirrors are different, it looks to be the older shape punto to Rhys' too, and appears to be a different colour aswell......but apart from that i guess it might look a tiny bit like it raftl [/b]
well done for noticing all the things that are different on this car to rhys's you must have spent soo long tryin to find every last thing different, 10 points for observation i only sent the message as a comparison of the 2 and i remember sayin "similar to yours " not wow theyare exactly the same, but yes you are right they do have alo different about them

i was prefer Rhys's car any day thumbsup

Posted By: Johnny Alan Re: Punto Drivers : fiat punto - 19th Aug 2006 1:19pm
I really miss it aswell when looking through the pics, It cost me so much to get it like that, I remember when I first started modding it it was a bit chav and then once I started seeing what was available it turned out to this lol. Must say most of the work was done by automotion and they did a really gud job.
