Joti Posted March 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 Saucy Liking this man!Looks sweet!!They really suit the car good work dudeHey - thanks people, means a lot, especially because I've kinda done my own thing here...... Don't forget, the vinyl is being done in 2 weeks (14th) and I also got a rear pop-out window kit that I am gonna get fitted (am hoping to labour is not too exorbitant as I am leaving this to the pros...... who am I kidding, I am a mechanical retard - I leave most things to them!!!!!) Keep watching! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joti Posted March 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 (edited) I know we all like a pic or 3, so here's a quick overview of the last 48 hours...........Sony head unit in (I'm old skool, this is an MD unit with a 10 disc boot CD autochanger - no MP3 here!):Alloys awaiting fitment:The transition:Never mind lows, here's the World's HIGHEST Lupo! Done and dusted:A quick snap en-route (note the bathursts on the passenger seat!):A quick wash as daylight fades:BOOM! New wheels ahoy Edited March 2, 2012 by Joti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH I really liked the Schmidt Modern Lines too, but they were around £700 without tyres!!! Makes a change from a BBS Lupo eh?The pop out windows were £75 - full kit including fixings and C-pillar covers. As I said not sure about how much it will cost labour-wise but I'm willing to chuck a couple of hundred at it.Vinyl stripe in 2 weeks too......... They where my thoughts but I think the look great and it's good to see some one doing it different and it working Keep up the good work!Thanks Joe, cheers for the words of encouragement!

OK thanks Alex I will give them a call.I did try Autoglass yesterday, but they said they could not do it - in case they had to end up drilling the holes in the shell.Appreciate your advice though, and thanks for the comment!

fatttty Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 No problem mate, cant see why they cant just cut them out, the holes for attaching the pop outs should already be in the shell, they wont need to drill them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joti Posted March 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 *** UPDATE ***Washed the car today, but used really hot water - I mean REALLY hot I think this may have had an adverse effect on the car....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caryleighton Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 Haha, where did you get that model from? It's awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joti Posted March 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 Haha, where did you get that model from? It's awesome!Thanks Cary, they are made by a company called Spark - just Google it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatttty Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 Yeah ray is correct. I think up until 2003 they have the homes drilled after that they don't. I may be wrong but it's around 2002-3 I think Spark models are ace, got a silver one sitting ony desk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joti Posted March 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 Booked in for a week Wednesday Piers (14th).I've received the pop out window kit in the post yesterday, but not opened it yet as I work Saturdays - will have a gander tomorrow and may see if I can get them fitted this coming week (though probably unlikely)Enjoy your dinner!
