Tigz™ Posted May 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 To finish the car I need to sell the Polo, but to sell the Polo I need to replace the gearbox.Some twit has stolen the knackered 'box, and the replacment 'box Id bought!Ive not made a start with the wiring as yet, although the guy who has my car has just set on a VW techniction.He starts a week on Monday, and my car will be his project so fingers crossed he understands how the standard wiring works lolI really need to take a few days off work and head up there to get it done.Including the car fire, its been off the road more than its been on it yes style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigz™ Posted June 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 Not had the time to update this, and still don't so a quick run down on the latest.Travelled to Scotland with the last few parts and my new engine.The mechanic was pretty pissed, as he'd just finished re-building the car!Spoke in some lengths with the bodyshop guy about what I wanted.Still can not decide on a colour, thought I had but Emma does not like it.This also throws a spanner in the works, as the colour choice had made the decision on the wheels, now the colour is being changed again, then the wheels wont work.The new starter is a ex VW mechanic, who has been put in charge of the wiring, hes not looking forward to it!Engine is out, engine bay painted, and the new Polo lump is being fitted this week.I've got to decide on a colour by next week!Car was looking more like a car again though, obviously the interior is still out, and the front bodywork is off the car, but somehow it gave me a little hope!Hopefully be ready for E38.Bring it on!

Ramirez Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 If your going to the trouble of a colour change I'd be looking at a non-lupo colour to set it apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_273 Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 If your going to the trouble of a colour change I'd be looking at a non-lupo colour to set it apart.Yes I agree, may as well make it different to the rest.The grey sounds nice. Do you have any pics of cars in the colours you are thinking of? Get some photoshops of yours done maybe?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The subtle modder Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 (edited) As others have said andy personally i would go with a non lupo colour as no offence here but if you were at e38 for example and parked next to dash people passing by would just think you have a different bumpers and wheelsyou said you liked purple? i have just got another car (yes i have as many as you now) its a Rover mini equinox LE and is rover Amaranth pearl its a heavily pearlescent purple which flips to dark metalic blue its georgeous colour and really shows the lines of the cari think it would look great on your lupo if you had a good job done border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" />and then click this and clikc onthe pics on the right to see them large PURPLE EQUINOXwayne Edited July 1, 2007 by The subtle modder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver! Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 (edited) How about a dark aubergine colour... border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" />...purple-ish, but not so 'in your face'. Would look nice with anthracite wheels.RayPS and they did the last model Polo in a similar shade. border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" />There's a couple in Perth and they look nice!
