    17, just bought my first car :)....

    Hey, new to this forum.
    just bought a Punto S60 1.2 1999 from a friend for £250. Quite a deal! Got 67000 miles on the clock, and the log book is clean, with NO failed MOT's! Insured with Quinn for £755 so Free visual mods

    Anyhow I love modding things, like computers as such, and I am looking forward to seeing the great things I can do to this car... I do plan to become a paying member of this forum.

    Currently I have smoothed the body work out (hence the grey primer over the car), as well as installed some lights on the front and back my mate gave me (that apparently cost £160). The car came with the alloys which are brand new (as my friend cant drive, so he hasn't used them), so all in all, I got a very good deal and could profit quite well - anyway, I also installed some Infinity Rear speakers, as well as some new speakers on the dash board, and a Sony Head unit - plan to install my own sub soon (like I did to my girlfriends KA lmao).

    I plan to install:
    A Tachometer
    A Voltmeter
    Have a respray
    possibly a new body kit
    spoiler


    Any ideas what I can do next? (part from the respray of course)

    Also, was just wondering, how can you come across the door panels with the speaker mounts, as my Punto does not have the speaker mounts with it, just the standard doors without. Thanks

    Looks like a good base for a project.

    I wouldn't really go for a body kit, as they aren't really in fashion anymore.

    Maybe just a original sporting/gt kit.
    Or abarth if you really want.
