Super-Luce Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 And I can tell you those are Group 6 Arches that fit the classic mini, My mate has them on his;(Green mini was sold years ago, beige one is still going and now has a 1293 turbo in)I have a mini with Miglia Arches on it, the biggest you'll find, Wonder whether you could adapt them to fit a lupo?They looks something like this (not a pic of mine btw) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slow&low Posted August 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 paha! that 505 looks ridiculous. not sure if its good ridic or bad.... bolt ons look sweet on that mr2. not sure about the ones on the arosa though. they're done well but yeah still not sure. haha and that beige cooper is awesome. A guy at uni is putting a rover 1400cc in his mini, a project entitled "my coffin" probably accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pieface Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 Each to their own, but I like the 505. Its something completely different.He also had a metro turbo;And a Mini; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slow&low Posted August 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 Each to their own, but I like the 505. Its something completely different. it looks MEAN from the front i'll say that. and i quite like the retro metro and minis are impossible not to like.What seats are in that metro? they look sweet.

pieface Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 (edited) Standard mk1 metro seats. The car was pretty much standard with the exception of the engine, brakes and wheels. And even the wheels were standard metro steels, banded. Edited August 22, 2011 by pieface Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkStryder360 Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 Why the f*ck has this turned into a Mini thread? F*ck classic Mini's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slow&low Posted August 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 i'm gonna convert my loop to look like a mini.... just for you stryder I wish i could afford sh*t like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slow&low Posted August 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 (edited) while we're talking styling, does everone agree that the back looks better de-badged? i mean the lupo and the SDi not the VW badge. i'm thinking of removing the words and painting the badge body colour. like below, i did it in paint but you get the picture;EDIT; was having fun so carried on; Edited August 22, 2011 by Slow&low Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pieface Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 Its your car at the end of the day, do what you like to it. Paint it in your own feces if you like, and put a polo bodykit on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkStryder360 Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 If you're smoothing the rear of badges, smooth the boot handle too or else it just looks like the Lupo badges fell of a 1.0L one. And no-one wants to look like a 1.0L lol!And the rear light bonnet cover idea is gay. Been done on a local Lupo to me and was chavvy as ****.

Slow&low Posted August 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 I wouldnt do that. for a start it looks **** haha and its a lot of effort. i was just playing with paint. i probably wont bother. with the badge thing either if it needs the boot handle removing too. dont have the time or cash for filling and spraying.might just get some eyelashes....

DarkStryder360 Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 Should be cheaper than lashes. Also probably a lot easier to clean off after a night out on the tiles with the ladettes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
