4real puntos are better than yellow stilos.

Now 5door punto mk1's with alloys inface any modifacations= failboat

that is most incorrect. Especially since you owned a Paxo "VTR" (a 1.4 with VTR bodykit and badges)

OWNED

Love your cars! Good job!

Standard caliper, disc, and line:

GT calipers, Black diamond discs, and Balance Motorsport braided lines:

Im not going to go into details, but i will say this: the front brakes have been the biggest headache that i have ever had to deal with on a car. It should have been a straightforward swap like it has been for others in the past but this particular set of brakes turned into absolute crap whereever i touched it. The pads were shot. The seals were small. The discs were corroded and needed skimmed. They wouldnt bleed for love nor money, and its taken me well over 2 months to get the problems sorted one after another.

Next: more fun stuff than brakes, i hope!

I got my stock wheels back today, powdercoated in anthracite. I also fitted my Red Dot XE pads (£10 off ebay whoohoo)
The wheels got a quick shot of Natty's wax (for all the good its gonna do) and CG trim gel.

Im chuffed to bits with the way they look. Top quality job by Thursby Blast Shop

Im not so chuffed with the handling though. Its effectively destroyed any feel and sidewall flex is terrible, and even though overall grip seems to be the same, there is nothing confidence-inspiring about the way it corners now. I didnt think that it would have made such a big difference, considering that they are the same type on the front as before (T1-rs all round now)

No wonder people dont rate the handling on puntos, if this is what its supposed to be like think im gonna look for anther cheap set of 16" because the handling was one of the best things about my car
