My Modified Punto Active sport black
Discussion
You have the orginal bumpers and wheels? No offence but when selling a car like a Punto mods like this can be a big turn off. Unless you can find someone else who also enjoys Max Power.
Otherwise it's ok, but your probably better off by not spending the money on mods and saving for something a bit better.

Hmm would be nice if you had some brakes that would fill the wheels a bit better. Nothing worse than looking through huge gappy wheels and seeing power drums of justice. Is a nice colour though and of the small Puntos I think the Mk2 is prettiest. More praise if it was a HGT but I guess as with 99% of Puntos it’s a beastly 1.2?
Tbh it doesn't look that bad, if you take off the skirts, stupid bonnet, alloyes, front scoopy thingy and if the owner realises that its a Punto Active with a shiny chromw sports badge, he may then be able to sell it.

Hi.
I only bought it about a month ago.
I'm selling it because i want something standard, i dont know what i was thinking when i bought the punto.
I took the spoiler off as soon as i got it too...
Ah, you have had, sir, what alcoholics would refer to as a "moment of clarity..."I only bought it about a month ago.

Jeez you lot are harsh!
It's far from being a Barryboy special. If you're going to modify a car, at least do it tastefully - and that appears to be what you've got. Ok - not to everyone's taste, but give the guy a break ffs, we can't all afford to go straight out and buy a 911 (nor would some of us want to even if we could )
If you like it - keep it. If you don't flog it. The comments on reverting to standard are partially true (it will open up a wider market for the car), but then again, selling to the modded market may give you more cash (for the right buyer).
We all start somewhere after all.

It's not that bad is it? I see big chunky bumpers and side skirts that are a bit much of a muchness for a 1.2 Punto but blend in fairly well otherwise (no silly lines and curves, random holes with a few square acres of chicken wire behind them et cetera), a big exhaust for which the same applies, a set of alloys that most could take or leave, and nowt else.
Selling it would indeed take a fair bit more time than if it were factory standard, but then he bought it this way so a) he may not have the OE parts in his garage to put back and b) premumably the 'mods' will have come in at a small premium compared to an otherwise equivalent car at worst, rather than the full price of parts & fitting & painting - so the OP won't take as much of a hit on them, the prior owner already did.
