Hey, just the wheels, adaptors and tyres im afraid!
-
Hi, i havnt been on here since selling my lupo last year. i still have the wheels/adaptors etc as have been lazy and havnt made much of an effort to sell them! Although 7 months later im sure your now sorted. I dont really want to let the adaptors go seperately because i had them made specially for the wheels!
-
Well im selling them! along with my lupo and a bunch of other stuff, (coilovers etc). I just didnt have the time! Sorry for the super late reply!

Sanding is such boring tedious work, but its worth it in the end! I'm going for mirror finish on mine so the sand paper I'm using in stages is 320, 500, 800 dry, then 500, 600, 800, 1000, 1500 wet. Its not difficult but very time consuming! Its definitely worth it though depending on how much shine you want!
-
I will do:) thankyou!

Grey i think!

I picked up these wheels a few months ago and after stripping off many different layers of paint including white, grey, orange, green and blue i decided to go ahead and get them acid dipped just to be sure! The dishes have a few scratches that mostly i have been able to sand out but there are still a few tiny marks that are hardly noticable. (although i know they are there so they will annoy me!) The centre caps are very damaged so will have to purchase some new ones! Heres some pictures of my progress! Paint stripping a month or so ago.. Today: Its a beautiful day to be getting on with prepping my dishes for polish whilst topping up my tan! i am aware i have dirty legs, its a messy job! Heres a little 'before' pic of the dishes before sanding. although they arnt finished they look alot better! Il keep you guys updated of any progress!

My new engine is finally being fitted in a rush as i need the car for bugjam to get in with my VW weekend ticket! There isnt enough time to make the car something amazing for Bugjam, so i think im literally just going to have my coilovers fitted! It doesnt matter though as im not going to be showing it anyway Not enough time to fit my wheels as with my custom adaptors my arches are going to have to be pulled like crazy! Plus im still sanding down the dishes so they can be polished AND i still havnt decided on a colour for the centres.. although think i might go for grey. I have custom panels (bootlid and doors) waiting to be put on but they still need painting, boo! No point in rushing when i can take my time and have it ready for Edition38 in september!
-
yeah, cant wait to have the paint redone. such a nice colour!
-
Im not sure, id have to look at the part number and the wheels are being refurbished at the moment! will definitely save that link though and check it once i know more! Thankyou
-
Yeah they are, pretty old though so not sure how visable the number will be but il deffo give that a try, thanks!
-
That is too far to travel for me Thanks though!
-
I have tried eBay but all i have found is damaged ones or plastic ones! all the ones worth buying are from america! Maybe i can pick some up when i go there on holiday in october
-
Heres a pic of the car, its completely standard at the moment. Im gathering all the parts i need then everything can happen at once! exciting. no 'cheeky selfie' though im afraid. Sorry for the terrible quality, damn i phone.
-
Thankyou!

Hey, yeah im only after fronts! thinking about taking my rear seats out all together How much is your asking price? i made a deal with this guy for 75 if i picked them up that day, but they were damaged.
-
Yeah i asked him to cancel the other person but as they paid full price for them he didnt really want to, which is fair enough!
-
Ooh lucky! I'm still waiting on parts
-
Very!
-
I have a set of cookie cutters but one of the center caps is pitted slightly. Does anybody know of anybody who is selling a set or even just the one?! Thanks!

Went to buy some porsche tombstones for my lupo today after making a deal with a guy on ebay, finally got to his house after getting lost and he tells me that he forgot to take them off ebay and someone bought them on buy it now! FUMING. Then thought all is not lost as on my journey i was going to swing by an old scrap yard that said they had a mk5 golf bootlid for me, and when i got there, no handle. So it was no use to me So after a quarter tank of fuel later i return home empty handed. what a rubbish day!!
-
I am looking to buy some porsche tombstones for my lupo! i will re-trim them so i dont mind what state they are in. if any body knows anyone selling some then let me know! Also a nice porsche gear knob..?
-
I havnt been able to drive my lupo for around 2 months now the head gasket went so have bought a new engine! currently waiting on a new clutch and new cam belt to make sure this engine will run nicely. So excited! Lots of modifications lined up ready for my little beauty.
