Might have just bought all the new colours...
That's naughty.... And I like it
(Will be sent out today, thanks!)
-
Thanks!
devastating!
Cant you get it repaired tomorrow morning? Or are you setting off early? Setting off at 5! ? Need to be there early and see people/drop stuff off.
Have you seen what's happened to some of the show cars Whilst getting there? Had wheels fall off and everything
-
Good work mate as always mate!
I spent 4 hours cleaning mine for UD tomorrow to find I had a slice in my tyre and slow puncture. Only time will tell if it will stay up overnight. If not, I'll be taking the Mazda! ??

Not sure what seats you mean, but ALL Lupo seats will fit in ALL Lupo models

I did explain and the mechanic came to see and told me that I did have them! But now they've cancelled it i will have to declare cancelled insurance and find it harder to get insurance :/ bugger being 18
I would ring them up and keep fighting your corner that they have unlawfully cancelled your insurance through no fault of your own, as you have declared everything on the car. If it was me, I'd just keep at them.

look awesome.
Thank you
-
Protest and explain you haven't put wheel spacers on. Eve offer for them to come down and see your car to prove it?
-
Here are the new colours we did. Please read the updated order form (on page 2) if you want to choose your colour

Looked and sounded good dude! Nice little flyby
-
Yeah they really are! Especially to say, I remember the council saying they have funding to re-tarmac every road in Sheffield, yet all are still crazy bad!
Fair point
Probably end up not wanting to take it off the road because of how fun it is Unfortunately not, don't really have the time, Sports bodywork is terrible and need a new alternator in the car as that's packed in. Hopefully next time
hmm, I do have some, but the issue is I would ideally prefer to sell as set as would struggle to sell other bits :/ (Ill see what i can do!)
PS.
You'll probably hear me going past your work tomorrow
as be driving past. 
Yep you heard correctly. They're meant to be doing every road, but for some reason have decided to do some quite B raods instead of the main roads to start.
Okay mate no worries, hope to see you round some shows soon though!
Haha I'll listen out for you then! Will probably have my MX5 parked across the road though, as I'm find myself driving that more than my Lupo of late!
Lupo's just a bit low and unforgiving really. -
Well what a nightmare past few days have been.
Right, Ketty is now dead, gearbox has had it and I'm sick of topping up with oil and coolant.
(Going to be stripped for parts)
Arosa wont be on road for another few weeks due to few reasons... DVLA taking P**s
So that left with the choice of getting the Lupo sport on the road.
The only thing it failed on was emissions,
Looked like the cat was not working as good as it should.
Chucked in some cat cleaner and new sprak plugs and took it for blast to clear out the system.
The next day it passed
Currently driving around in the white sport, not what I wanted as wanted to keep it off the road till it was fully finished to how I wanted it, but circumstances had changed.
I quite like the sport though, defiantly tell the difference between the 75bh and 100bhp. It has a lot more revs and gets to speed a lot quicker.
The only issue is how LOW it is... Speed bumps are terrible. Need to raise it up more. Probably get hate for this but f**k it.
I don't spend money on a car to destroy it by running far to low that the car is a pain to drive, having to constantly check road for bumps, stuff on road, pot holes, etc...
I do like them lowered to reduce the arch gap but not stupidly low that everything catches and scrapes.
I also find exhaust a little to loud as you hear me before you see me
So might look at getting a silencer put in at some point Anyway that's my little rant out of way and sorry for the essay
Yeah the roads really are shocking around here I can vouch for that!! I got an £85 parts bill recently caused by them.
If you put the Lupo on the road now, then take it off and do all the tweaks to it, you will feel what difference you have made so not all bad!
Are you going to UD this weekend mate, convey down if you fancy?
Also (I know this is a b***h but) if you're breaking the the Lupo, is there any chance you have some black rear headrests you want to sell? Driving me crazy trying to find some local!

Couple here that might help, although the images which were really helpful have been taken out of the 1st

You may also fail your MOT as the airbag needs to be present and fitted on the vehicle at the time of the test, unless you have a friendly MOT man.....
Looks like I'll have to swap back for MOT time, or give it my friendly tester
I also found this that should help, especially with my horn constantly going off to the point where I've had to remove the fuse!

Did you disconnect the battery before replacing the steering wheel?
The light will stay on until the fault code has been cleared, even with the resistor fitted
Cheers mate, just need to clear the fault then. Shouldn't be too hard!

Nice! We follow them on Instagram, not seen it on there though.Caricature done by Toonshark Design of my Lupo GTI and her road trip buddies last year.

Yes you have bought a staggered set of wheels. People put larger width wheels on the rear to give a better stance/aggressive look.
Mind you 8j wheels are hard to get under Lupo arches, especially if you are lowered...
-
Yeah im running coilovers atm and planing of going lower soon, I might just get staggered and go 8J rear 7J fronts
That could work mate. Still will have to make them fit though. i.e. roll arches etc.
-
Will let everyone know when they're done
Should be finished for Ultimate Dubs and available to post after! -
Yes! Was hoping you were still going to go through with this, cos I'm mad I'll probably have one of every bloody colour
Haha! Please do buy every colour!
Not sure if they'll sell, but I thought they'd look really neat so why not! 
-
These look pretty cool, will order one when the new batch is done
Thanks. I have a couple of red in stock, but there's a 2 week wait for the new colours!
-
*UPDATE*
So with only a handful of original keyrings left, I've decided to produce some more with some different colours in the 'Club Lupo' part.
The colour schemes are pictured below and I've included the most common Lupo factory colours. They'll be ready in around ~2weeks and I hope you like the idea!
-
You sir and this thread is amazing.
-
Between roller and spray paint, spray paint will give the better overall finish, however roller will probably be quicker and easier!
Changing the colour of a car is fine, as long as the DVLA is notified
-
Nice wheels on both!
Thanks!
Took the Mazda for a drive through Snakes pass. Some lovely roads and scenery.
Bought the same tyres for a staggered setup.

That's kind of the point. More stretch on the rear tyres to get the bigger width wheels under the arches. If you put bigger tyres on the rear, the wheels might not fit under the arches.
