it will be the same as this one i think mate,

as such puntos do not have struts on the rear so the brace simply bolts/welds on the sides of the rear wheel wells/bumps i think, basically it will go across your boot, hope this helps

AAAHHH rite i see... cause i knew the puntos didnt have them struts (them black things, hopefully "struts" are the correct name for them.. in the back, cause my mate had a mk1 golf, and his went on the back.. inside his car on the them black struts that stick up on the sides.. too much fuss for me to do this on a punto !? or am i wrong ??

they are mainly used for show, in cars that have the stripped out look
people generally fix their harnesses to it

looks sweet in a stripped motor, wouldnt say its gonna change the handling though.

i suppose it will bolt through in to the top of the wheel arch
or if you have the back stripped out, you could weld it in

Rear strut braces are standard on some cars, both my celicas had them, they definetely serve a purpose, otherwise toyota wouldnt have bothered.

So i guess they would serve to tiffen a punto up a bit

Ideally they connect in the same as a front brace would, between the suspension towers.

(sorry if im pointing out the obvious)
