jon_273 Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 Mmmm nice, I wish mine was that clean. Looks nice and smooth.

Jake-VW Posted October 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 Cheers for your comments. Will be de-wipering the back very soon, just gotta get a grommet first. 25mm it is yeah? I got some crystal black side repeaters too, but not sure I like them now, may spray them the same as the body colour so they blend in as much as possible. Also gonna tint the headlights soon I think too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattyA Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 (edited) Your Lupo is looking incredible! I love the badgeless grill and smoothed bonnet - How much would a body shop charge for filling the badge recess on the bonnet?

penry Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 The red cards do break it up a bit dont they. If you get bored though you can always see about gettin them retrimmed later on. Seats are the shizzle too style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake-VW Posted March 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 (edited) Small update from the weekend.Managed to get lower doorcards from a scrapyard for £10+VAT. Couple of quick pics: border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" />It needs GTI mats now, those blue ones don't suit at all!Saved up a bit of money the last couple of weeks, so having 2 new tyres tuesday. Also gonna do both door straps, drivers lock is broke so thats gonna be sorted. Also got a GTI steering wheel to go on. Need to get my heaters sorted too so will see if I have enough money to sort that.CheersJake Edited March 11, 2007 by Jake-VW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartyP Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 Your loop looks great jake.I love the simple smooth look.Really spot on job!Just wondering how much did the bonnet cost you to get sprayed and have the half moon filled in?CheersMarty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake-VW Posted March 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 I had it done by a mate so he gave me a good price. If you want it doing right you gotta be willing to pay. And I always think with paintwork, you get what you pay for really. I know that doesn't really answer your question but I'm not really sure what a fair price would be....say £150-£200?

Jake-VW Posted July 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 Just thought I'd post a few pics with the wheels on. I've had them on about 4 weeks I think but never got round to getting photos up. Wheels are also now off as the cars up for sale! Wheels are also for sale but haven't done a for sale thread yet.Anyway, here's a few pics border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" />And here's a close up of the wheels. They're 14x8, and I was told et25 when I bought them. With 195/45/14 falkens. border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" />Whats everyone think?

Plug Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 Look's phat as tbh. 1st time ive seen powetech's on a loop, allways wondered what they would look like. Doubt there et25, as they stick out quite a fair bit, stance looks bang on. Look's low as, you removed rear locking nut's now?.....Ahh time to sell up, so what you got in mind next??

penry Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 Adjusters arent even out of the back, it had to be raised up! It even rubbed on my driveway which is on such a slight slope lol. These pics are after being raised, an absolute b*tch to drive otherwise style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
