Cool ehys me lado, u not got no pics? Look forward to seeing it all.
cheers broom will be down tues so you can see it then dont now how to host pics plus left me camera at the airport anyway.
Went to the bodyshop today to ask about a pear spray job he said they look crap and pointed me in the direction of getting a flip paint done the paint is costing me £300 from tetrosyl and £800 labour have booked it in at auto motion they do a great job and its getting done at the end of march so am just going to have to drive around with white bumpers and side skirts till then. should ahave some pics for ya when it done.
U fitted a kit withut sprayin it?
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
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)
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
quality man cant wait. national stands here you come
cheers daz mate changed me mind again tho it going black agin wednesday not flip paint now, should have for you to see soon, think it will be interesting to see what he does with your skirts hopefully they look okay. How your new car running?

Rhys, it looks fine and it will look even better once sprayed.
on behave off rhys, cheers evo,
hi peeps was suposed to get my car back yesterday but wont be ready till monday now cause as you know my sideskirts were for a saxo and are being modified to fit the punto well he's having a few difficulties but had a look with them fitted and they look the buisness he's just got some smoothing to do and to get them sprayed will ask mark when i see him at the nxt meet to take some pics and put them up for us.
i seen it today, took a pic for you on me fone
should look good once its done
ive been busy this weekend tearing out the old sound system and sorting out the new one its just been to automotion to see if he will be able to spray it and smooth it for me, plus fanncy paint work, all will be revealed at the nationals. he he he
Yeah it looks sweet rhys.
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
true true dazza,
gud point dazza neva thort about it that way rhys sween car man big fan of the back bumper an centre exit shud look nice wen u get wheels
keepit up matey
saw a picture of ur car wiv the bumper sparayed and ive gotta say it looks sweet!! very nice rhys!!

posted on behalf of PuntoDriver:
hey peeps its been a while since my car has had money spent on it so ive just ordered my furious front bumper and have asked automotion to spray it along with the car a two tone colour orange on the sides and the roof and bonet left black. Seen A 206 in this months fastcar and it looked sweet alloys are also going to be getting sprayed white. Ive also been following the same route as tony 220 and got hold of a nitrous kit and that to is going to be getting fitted. Itgoing to be pushing 25bhp to be safe but should keep up with vtr's etc
hey peeps just had my springs fitted at automotion
very reasonable i think. They make my car look really low but am just waiting for the front bumper to arrive and then it going in to get sprayed.
cool, is it as low as you wanted it, or is lower or higher than you expected?
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.
what time you going down the rock?
seen this as i drove past b4 luks nice mate altho me thinks sum1s wishin they had lowered the car b4 purchasin the front bumper
"Mr plow that his name, that name again is mr plow"
about half nine u going to be their? You out tonight john
Even with NOS mate.. my Punto will hoon yours
doubt that very much! lol
well said tony well said he he he he
!
Big supprise coming in three weeks been thinking!!!!!
hehe i know
I think i do too! (I think!?)
Im loving that spray thingy
no none off you know only kate and I dont think any off you have seen anything like it. he he he the paint just cost me £400 from Rage that all im giving away he he he
so much for the orange then.
this will be so much worth it with my new rims in november i think it may just make a feature but i aint going to get a big head
send some shots to the mags then and advise of the new paintjob in the pipeline as a feture can take its time to come round. by the time they book you in it would be done and so last week. LOL
no i am only going to send the pics in when its complete not half finished would like to squeez a retrim b4 crimbo if i can afford it have to see how it goes with money with what i am getting done now. I felt sick when i got of the phone after ordering the paint lol
hey peps just fitted my alarm last night that my bird bought of aggy ages ago. My car is going a RAGE
hey peps just fitted my alarm last night that my bird bought of aggy ages ago. My car is going a rage extreme extacy green to blue flip, I am getting my side repeaters removed and seen as i will have remote central locking i am getting the locks removed for £50 whilst it in getting a full respray. Car is going in to automotion saturday so will be driving a Ka for a while. Should be done in two weeks.

depends on wot kit it is there some jus bolt in an all u have 2 do is trim some of the iner arche out 2 make shure they are clear am not 2 sure 2 be honest
hey peeps went the body shop and things are looking good and bad, the cars has all been smoothed locks off and everything and it gettin primered tomorrow but it looks like it going to be ready the middle of nxt week rather than the weekend. He@s going to try and fit a letter box exhaust for me in the centre so hopefully when it comes out will look good
*YAWN* tell me something i havent heard!!! over and over again 2day! pmsl!
I wasnt telling u, U didnt have to read it it was ur choice DHead

y??? rhys's has the best mods id say!
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.
go and have a word with yourself in a dark room, you idiot. at least enter it into a few comps first. come on man do the rounds with it first.
its not even finished yet and ur thinking of selling it, u crazy fooooooooooool
Yeah get it all lookin amazing then sell it so they can reap YOUR rewards at the last few events of the year and the beginin of next year. Whats the engine spec??Wait til ya see it mate youll love it im sure, and get some pics up the second you get it back
no peeps i want a supra the punto is going to be a major part of the funding of it i am then going to put another few G's to that have seen supras for around the £6000 mark so thats what i planning now b4 crimbo cheers anyway peeps.

wot a gimp lol
love ya really hehe
Get it featured, then sell it.
rhys you have the nicest looking car at cw!! seriously
Hang on, you've just spent a piss load of money on paint an you wanna sell it already!!!
Good call on the Supra though
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?
he was gonna do that vic, but now i think he's bored.
god knows how many cars he has had, and they have never lasted more then a yr
cuz he got bored.
wot are lads like hey hehe
GO FOR THE SUPRA!!! (but I'm bias as I've got one!!)
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!)
dont get a supra, get an RX7
Much nicer
RX7's are nice if re-building the engine all the time is your thing

I hear that there aint to many people willing to work on them either. Which is a shame because they're gorgeous cars!!

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
Thats nice
prefer the standard back lights tho myself.
Back to the point though, Rhys - get a Supra
Originally posted by MisterAdam:
Back to the point though, Rhys - get a Supra yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Mind you there is also a 300zx twin turbo/non-turbo (had a couple of these and they are v.nice)
Supra looks a lot nicer than them
200sx would be a good one too. Not many people round here with Supra's though
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
the supra looks sweet de-spoilered. Good on ya fella. Just feel youve wasted money on the fiat now
yeah you HAVE waste dmoney but oh well mate, weve all been there etc
good choice on the supra but dont u just want the sound of the turbo??

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.
OMG, ive just been to see rhys car, and the paint job is sooooooooooo nice.

awwww the poor lad was shitting himself in tweeks today, just incase they didnt fit, but there was loads a room, well nice
They're gorgeous mate, absolutely stunning car. Is there a queue of car magazine journalists at your door yet?
Just thought I'd add: I've never been a fan of puntos, infact I despise them, but here is one that I will very likely be voting for in car of the year. Top job mate, you've done so well with it.
Take me hat off to you man
I have never looked through your MMC topic before mate.
The wheels are proppa Bo
Great choice mate, i didnt think it could look much better but i guess you just proved me wrong......
One question though, whats next ??
I can see you winning
Car Of The Year
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.
Lookin mint rhys mate. Wheels are much better and that bodywork is top. Car of the year? Gets my vote
cheers scoop sold me old ones to sean for £20 think he got a bargain
hey rhys check this out
Take away the spoiler and the lights and that a lil weird very similar to yours with the old wheels, btw nice wheels mate.
Similar. Yep, theyre both puntos. Each is unique but i dont like that guys spoiler
eew, tomm13 that thing makes me wanna puke, it's fugly! Nothing like rhys's
dont like the rear lights on the other one
Wheels definately set your car off a treat mate. I'm so jealous lol..

them lights on the back of that is U.G.L.Y
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
i like rhys car better. and am not just saying that cuz am his girlfriend
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

Retrim is £1000 plus vat
airbags are £850 for the kit and £500 fitting which is cheaper than what i expected. cant wait for the dayz to go by he he he he
Dont sell it anyways, Its a good looking car

i agree, go get the stuff done to it! ya will be more made up with it then! u av got great ideas for the car so carry on and do them, dont jus give up and get rid of it!
anyway sounds good rhys!!!
sell it mate, dont plough more money at a car you dont really want, even with air bags etc, its still goin to be the same car you want to sell, get rid, stick it on ebay and auto trader

TRUE
Also keep it and drop a 1.4 turbo in it next year.
at the end of the week dude, ask your self when enough is enough, i only say this as i tryed to turn the eg civic in to some thing i knew was never goin to happen, thus why i sold it, stop before its too late, don t get me wrong matey, your car is really nice, but it sounds like there is some thing in the back of your mind saying get rid,,,, ie,,,,cold feet, im sure you ll make the right choice dude.

Remember, this topic is about Punto Drivers Car, nothing else so please keep to topic
btw i said i agree too, meanin next year! :rolleyes:
as a lot of time and effort has gone into this car, same with a lot of other cars.
and the ideas still keep rolling in.
the hole car is jus sutle an not over the top think it looks fine jus as it is if u have 2 start thinking wot can i do 2 make it better it will end up tacky once the retrim is done it will be show worthy an a defo cover car (jus dont put any weird stripes down the side)
i miss this car, loved it so much, so much money and time spent on it
a girl down in kent owns it now i think,
i wonder if it is still in the same nick?
its a girl driving it now, so what do you think, lol
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.
