Petes 16V Sport Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 very very nice I like what you've done style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> looking awesome style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />One thing though... them rear badges don't look at the same level in pics, and the 16V badge looks nearer the centre than on normal Lupo Sports, any chance you could sort that out? One idea is you could put GT 16V together under neath the VW badge but above the tailgate release, I reckon that would look ace style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannywhiteley Posted November 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 I know, a couple of people have noticed that.Im thinking of doing away with the GT and 16V badges, spraying the VW badge black to match the front and maybe gettinga red 16v badge off an older VW?

Swoxy Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 If you get the current 16V badge sprayed red it'd look mint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devon Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 Love the roof and love the grille. Not too sure on the length you have gone on the colour coding though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannywhiteley Posted November 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 (edited) Lol, cheers for the replies guys, good and bad.Personally, im 'getting used' to it, shall we say. When I first put the wheels on, there wasnt the major WOW factor I was expecting, not that Mike didnt do an amazing job with them, just that I think it was cos it looked so different.Ive just done 350 miles in the last two days in it, got them nice and run in, not quite so shiny and new, and Im starting to love the look. Its not quite so bright and a bit more subtle (good excuse for not cleaning it...lol)Cant go any lower unfortunately. The miles ive just done, have been down to a site visit to a job of ours on the Norfolk Broads, and some of the access tracks to the sites I couldnt manage as it is, and its not even that low.To finish (if you can ever say that) ive got a set of Lupo GTI aero wipers waiting at the post office along with a stubby driver mirror (euro passenger) that need to be fitted. Also gonna debadge and spray the rear VW badge black.Oh, and if anyone has any 15 or 20mm spacers give me a shout. I want to space the rears out a touch to reduce the offset and fill the arch better.

Gibbeth! Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 How about detailing, the sides of the front and rear badge red (the vw ones that is)!Wont seems as harsh as the full badge, but straight on front and rear there isnt much red, apart from the rear lights!Love the rest of the car, if you told some one about it who hadnt seen it, im sure it would seem OTT, but i think it works nicely! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shades:" border="0" alt="shades.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dubweiser Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 Ummmm, theres too much to look at, think the roof it too much, not liking the grill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannywhiteley Posted November 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 Thats cool. Its getting lots of very mixed feedback, people are either loving it or hating it. And thats the way I would rather have it. Same as my old mk1, whether you liked or disliked it, it always got a reaction. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
