How much for the rear beam? Also what colour is the interior trim - I'm looking for what VW call the rear "door cards" so I can fit speakers

Thanks for the comments. The good thing about using the sharpies is that when it fades I can just get my mate to recolour them! I'd like to take the idea a bit further at some point - maybe do a whole bonnet or tailgate

Tidy, liking the steels too - nice and simple

Thanks - got the idea from my snowboard - a forum young blood 156 with a crazy design - and a new era cap designed by Jon Burgerman

Do they poke out the arches? If they do I'd guess et 23s unless your running massive adapters

Nice! I like the light painting too

My TDI Mods: Lowered AP Coilovers Remapped Rear Cambridge Lights Interally - uprated Alpine R Components and Alpine W404r Double Din Head Unit link to my readers ride - http://forums.clublupo.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=84131

Hey All I've been a member for a while now and never really post much. Thought it was about time I shared some pictures of my Lupo with you. It's a 03 plate Lupo TDI in Anthracite Grey. I haven't done many mods to the the car - I like stuff to look fairly OEM most of the time. It's had a remapped, lowered on AP coilovers and I've changed the rear lights to cambridge lights. Inside I have changed the front speakers and tweets for Alpine R components and the headunit is an Apline W404r Double Din Media Player. Below are a few pictures of the Lupo before I put my most recent set of wheels on (I'll go into details in a mo) Picture in a car park on the local common as the sun was setting Most of the time she sits on some G60 steelies but for edition this year I spent a bit of time getting a set of Porsche Teledials sorted. I bought a set last year offset et 52 before Edition and had the lips polished and rattle canned them ivory/cream. Looked ok from a distance but mank up close. So this year I bought another set of teledials this time et 23. So that I could run et 52 on the front and et 23 on the rear. So they started off like this: And then I had them shot blasted, sprayed in white primer and got the lips and centres polished again. I then got a friend of mine whose an illustrator to use his creativeness and £35 worth of Sharpie marker pens to illustrate them. I really like the cartooning slightly crazed drawing look and my friend seemed quite happy to do it - not sure whether it's been done like this before or not. These 3 were taken at Edition: Since the show some bolt covers I ordered have arrived (did order them before Edition but they didn't turn up!) Finally a picture taken at night - we were trying to be creative!! Hopefully when I get a chance I'll get some better pictures of all the wheels on the Lupo - each one is different! As for what's next - looking at getting a decat, apart from that I'm not sure.

I have a TDI and am looking at getting a set of 14 inch steels banded. They are currently 5.5j and I think 35 offset. Having tried them on yesterday we reckon 1.5 inch band on the front 2 inch band on the rear. Just wondering what sizes people have had banded on TDIs before?

Mine definitely isn't a cheap respray!

Sounds good idea - as for location and time - I'm easy!

I've got a set of teledials and adapters just wondering what bolts people have used to bolt the wheels to the adapters? Read somewhere about using VW ones and also genuine porsche ones.

Some people have got them on their Lupo's - prehaps I'll go with 7's all round

I know but the wheels 8x13 either have ET -10 or -59! Its either that or run 7x13 all the way round and space out the rears?
