  1. £250 including 4 new tires fitted, hub kit was £150 including postage from germany, got a spare set of the rims lying as well just incase, i like th way the tires stick out just a littl and curve ok for the arch just catches the innner part of arch on the tred the bodyshop will sort this though then itll be slammed yet again
  2. could be same prob i had after it had been in bodyshop and had doors off etc I experienced probs a bit later a wire worked its way into the way of drivers window which then tugged the loom causing a plug to be undone under dash meaning was id to strip down door and jam window till found it. Ive got probs the now but its either the switch unit itself or the socket for passenger side supposedly these are bad for lawing over time, my driveres sides perfect just go to use passenger switch to get proper use of passneger window, Ill be sorting it when take out dash for retrimming hopefully.
  3. Heres some pics Ive still to polish up the wheels an nalcken the tiire walls and polish car but no point will get oily hands when on ramps to get rear shoes checked out or bearing whatever it is thats making the racket, Im on the look out for new rear springs or something different for rear as ull see in pics porkers stick out a bit it was too low at first so raised it but the springs wont last too long that they fitted! border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" />
  4. there on still to polish em up and take pics, turned out to be a nightmare cos lupos so damn low, adjust front a little but rears been a damn nightmare still getting a costant rubbing or scuffing i think ive got a brake shoe thats fecked which is causing a lot of the noise cos when cars parked it looks like theres stacks of room so doesnt explain why im hearinf so much so will get it stripped down, weve changed the rear springs on it as well to bring it up so slightly but looking to get the bodyshop to mod the rear quarter arches more as have a larger than norm lip on em so with it gon i reckon ill get away with it on its ass again, will post pics real soon
  5. ians are wider than 7s but his 195s are well stretched to fit em looks nuts though up close, Im running 195 45 15s on my chromes and im going to be running the same on the porsche rims, theyre 152 BY 7S all round although ive wider spares for fitting later if I want, just got my tires this morning 4 brand new nankings with simular tread to proxies for £130 for all 4 brand new so cant complain, mate at ford got me through the books, I couldnt advise really on whats best though as my loops wings have been changed and the rear quarters reshaped and widened
  6. personaly i like porsche caps these ones are temps though got a mate sourcing me 24k gold centres for free, mates dads garage sell porshces and sports cars so theyl be much nicer
  7. PICS OF THE PORSCHE RIMS R ON A FEW POSTS DOWN!!!! heres a few pics of my wheels well one of em all rest are same though. also some pics of ians and mines on a day we had a carry on with the loops border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" />

    Im back

    Hi there everyone Im still alive and sos the loop, im running around with another car while working on the lupo, was just told today by a mate some pic or pics have propped up in performance vw, so gonna need to check it out. The lupos getting a overhaul and a lot more work done inside and out, just wait till u see it gonna be something else!!!
  10. i should be back out from hospital by then may not have stitche out but what the hell! lol
  11. well first ive had to strip of paint som fool painted them with, honestly its like a diy halfords shot, anyways then some sanding, then use finer grit paper till got a very smooth surface, then 1 bottle of `t-cut` and a lot of polishing this gets out all the little scratches from paper, then have the option to laquer or varnish em as i beleive some do. Ive one almost perfect looking just some stubourn paint parts but lotsa elbow grease seams to be working. I could get em done by someone using a machine but Im getting more satisfaction and supposedly hands better if done right, soon see lol All else fails pay 60 quid, dont think Im going to need to going by the results, the paint removers a ****** on ur skin accidently got it on we couple of times.
  12. Ill take a pic soon of it Im going round it still insuring not missed anyparts, can be a ****** to see if there is cos the shine, so need to look at it all sorts of angles lol
  13. not bad, mines were 77 quid by time paid delivery brought it up but seling the tires took the cost back down, ive mirror polished one so far looks well mint now, lotsa work but well worth it
  14. Im mirror polishing them, they cost me £122 including delivery to my door, that was with tires, Ive a buyer for the tires as profiles too big for the lupo so that takes em down to just costing me 80 quid! Polishings costing me nothing, these arent a permanent fixture, Im still in the middle of buying other wheels, porsche again, yep i will be looking at more modern wheels when they come up in 16s and arent too wide. The other ones Im in middle of getting are 16s front wheels are 225s and rears 255s, so may widen back quarters more to house em.
