Mr Moley Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 (edited) Here's my build thread. Ive had the car since later november and ive barely driven the thing haha. Let me know what you think.So after my previous car was written off in October last year....a 56 Plate Fiat Stilo that looked like this:Crash Bang Wallop Some Idiot Doesnt Look Coming Onto A Roundabout:I spent a small fortune on that car and this one isnt going to be much different. I wanted something small and nippy and there's nothing better than a 100bhp VW Lupo. Bought it in November last year as a fully wrapped matt black car completely standard and looking pretty **** to be honest. From now on ill let the pics do the talking start to present...Drove up the burnley to pick up these Steffan RS wheels a week or so ago, 8j et 15 fronts with 9j et 10 rears with a sick stretch, very bad condition but the dishes are being mirror polished and the centres sprayed in some random colour with black bolts sometime soon: Edited March 17, 2011 by Mr Moley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Moley Posted March 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 A final snow foam and dry using my plush towels. Snow foam went all weird and zebra like on this one:And now the condition of the front end was revealed:And after a long session of power gloss on a orange pad followed by final finish on a yellow pad followed by super finish on a yellow pad with a coat of black hole ontop and all windows clean, tyres dressed and sonus bumper dressing tidying things up and not to leave out autosol on the exhaust (no pics sorry) left me with this:Loads more mod's to do aswell as the spraying such as wheel refurb and cage and seats etc.Thanks for looking.

DarkStryder360 Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 Awesome work. Would have been good to see the Matte wrap with all the mods done so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Moley Posted March 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 I honestly would have kept the matt wrap if i could have taken those lovely person red stripes off on there own but unfortunatly it took of some of the wrap aswell thus ruining it. As for the exhaust, i did it while i was picking the new wheels up, the reveresed onto a ledge and the car got stuck so as i got of it im pretty sure it pulled the exhaust off the mount. Got a full custom stainless one being built with some lovely tailpipes soon along wiith my cage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bits and bobs for the car add up to another £150 or so. £50 for the suede for the interior . £100 for the new steering wheel and boss. £3800 or so?Cage and exhaust + manifold will be £800 more. Then seats could be anything ranging from £500-£1000.And a few finishing touches and i'll be happy with it. But then comes audio Please don't ask me to write all that again....it hurts Oh and i'm 18.
