Finally the seats are in took me about hours but was worth it! They look amazing! These MK2 Seats were mount on custom made brackets made by alex!

I've been polishing my other dishes too! 2 for sale and 2 to go back on the OZ's

I also took delivery of my new dishes, nuts and bolts tonight!

I have also got to think about future plans so the other night I went to go see the lads over at Zerocake in Lincoln! I booked my car in for some audio goodness which can be expected in april time!

Oh I forgot one thing I also made a false floor for my lupo! Just waiting for some carpet samples to match the lupo carpet

WE ARE BASICALLY ON TO PRESENT DAY NOW! This week was the last week I could do any major work on my car before I went back to university! I STILL HAD MY SEATS IN THE GARAGE! So I spoke with Alex 'IBUMMEN' McKenzie and he said he would send me his old mk2 tt seat runners! THESE ARRIVED TODAY AFTER IPOSTPARCELS WERE UNABLE TO COLLECT COS THEY'RE PRUNES! They'll be an update tomorrow about the seat fitting!

On that same day I also got some more plastics sprayed!

Into my winter plans I had to come to the fact that eventually I had to split and sand my wheels down! 1 hour into splitting the I snapped the specialist socket and 5 bolts... So that night I ordered 120 chrome bolts and 120 nuts! I also treated myself to 2x 2inch dishes for the rears This was a picture from the night I split them, just waiting for tyres to be taken off! The next day I started sanding them! just waiting for new centre caps to Arrive!

To go with the small interior bits I wanted some new seats! I was given money from my parents for Christmas 2015 so I trawled ebay to find a set of seats for the lupo! It was hard to find a seller that would split a full set of seats however I found a set of audi tt mk2 half leather half suede seats for £250 Now I just needed a method of fitting them!

I wanted to add something unique to the interior of my lupo! I contacted Sean over at Inspire Automotive, a local interior retrimmer! We discussed ideas and decided to add a different dimension to my interior! To do this we chose a theme of charcoal alcantara with a blue stitch to match the car! From the start of December to now he has been retrimming small details within my interior to make it a much nicer space to drive in! He's done an amazing job! If anybody needs any trimming needs go message him on facebook, just search Inspire Automotive and give a follow on instagram @inspire_automotive

After Ultimate Stance I decided to get my **** together and really get stuck into my all the tasks i've had planned for the lupo! First thing I did was to a black plastic conversion! (I do have the lupo with dark grey plastics but the headliner and grab handles are still grey!) I have no photos for this! The next thing I did was to get my dash plastics painted gloss black!

Here's a few photos from Ultimate Stance! Was such a great show!

Before Ultimate Stance, I bought a couple of bits for the lupo! It's all in the details! So I bought some Vibe Slick Coaxial speakers and some new number plates, a shorter front one which looks sick!

So I decided that I would put the oz turbos on as a test fit and ended up leaving them on and going to Ultimate Stance! I really like the colour combination however I will be changing them over winter!

Couple of days later this turned up! Turns out that the lip I bought was from a BBS RM so it has a step unlike the flat lip on the lips I already had!
