  1. Thanks bud. Cant wait to give the car a clean and get them back on, The car has never been as dirty as it is now. Wasnt even this bad when i bought it lol. So ashamed i let it get like that haha.
  2. Okay so a bit of a update. Decided i wanted to get rid of the white wheels and go a bit more down the oem route and do them silver, so got some paint and cracked on. They were kerbed in a few places and scratched quite a bit so had to sand a fair bit down on some of the wheels. Then primer, paint, clear coat and a good rubbing compound to get rid of some orange peel. Quite happy with how they came out. Need to see them in actual daylight as the kitchen (thats where the missus kicked me) light is a pissy energy saving lightbulbs and dont actually help much at all. Finished product: Also swapped my 30mm front spacers for some 20mm ones so should make a difference. Im busy removing the shitty carbon fiber wrap off the grill and gunna remove the yellow laminex off the fogs over the weekend too.
  3. Just a Nikon D3200 with the shitty Kit Lens atm. Been practicing my panning motion shots lately so it helped me loads with catching this. Heres another I took that day of the birdies lol. It might sound a bit sad but i enjoyed the practice photographing these gave me because your constantly trying to anticipate which direction they gunna be going while still trying to fill the frame. Really wanna find somewhere local to photograph drifting or motorsport but i dont wanna shot the way they normally are from the top of a hill with a fast shutter speed. IMO motion is best cought when u can see the motion. Just dont wanna be sat at the top of a hill and dont think they would let me get closer. Anyway heres the pics.
  4. sexy as **** this motor mate. The wheels make so much difference!
  5. managed to catch this the other day. Was pretty pleased with it
  6. Like that person said, i didnt do it. I bought it like that, looked loads better as Arosa rear windows wrap right around and look better where Lupo front ends look better. Best of both worlds. However mine was a Arosa Mk1 so i had the shitty dash like a older Polo. http://forums.clublupo.co.uk/index.php?/topic/83347-arupo-bora-now-fabia-30mm-spacers-poke/page-1 Shown on the thread above
  7. Good work mate. Excited to see this progress!
  8. Oh my! Jesus adam unreal mate. Couldnt of made a better choice! Absolutely stunning mate
  9. It does dont it. Im gunna get some 15-20mm ones on front i think. They just sit too far in without any spacers on it at all. But i think its finally starting to get somewhere.
  10. Quick pic of how its sitting now. Also sporting colour coded rear rub strip
  11. fronts are on. Might be a bit too much poke on the front, ideally wanted the fronts to sit in a little bit but ill keep em on until i get used to them and then have a think. Ill get better pics tomorrow
  12. insane this build. wish i had the knowledge and cash to do something like this!
  13. Well.... kinda didnt get them 20mm spacers :'( HOWEVER! i got 4x 30mm Bolt on Spacers instead. So MrSloanes has poke! Over the moon with it tbf, The car looks loads lower now and im not scared to take photos on a angle anymore lol. Only fitted the rear ones, ill fit the front ones tomorrow while im taking the mudflaps off. Also had the rear rubstrip colour coded too. More pics to follow tomorrow.
