Jowey Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 i love the black and yellow contrast and i vote for keeping the side strips on.. as much as i like my beef tape nice tidy side strips or even smooth paint would be betterbesides i like the contrast again of the strips on the yellow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattyA Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Looking good Amber.I like the textured side strips and mirror covers, breaks the car up well, and works well with the yellow.Does need dropped though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amber Posted March 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 quick update:got new hu and changer in - just put the storage tray thing in for now so my ipod can go in it but I'm still on the lookout for a din cupholder/cointray unit:we put the changer on the back of the seat so we can still use the boot space and it's hidden once the parcel shelf is down:also got round to colour coding my badge - been wanting to do it for ages but hasn't been the weather. I was planning to spray the chrome bit black but I want to leave the 'lupo' badge on the rear and thats chrome so thought i'd leave it.we also didnt have any black paint I'll get a picture up once it's on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jowey Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 the yellow badge is an awesome ideai was thinking of doing my VW ring black and the background yellow nice touch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akbarirfan Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 That badge looks cool! Did you just take the backing off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amber Posted April 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 I started by taking the whole badge off - prised it gently with a flat bit of plasticthen I asked dad to drill out the rivets that hold the black backing and the chrome together -if you're gonna do this i's use an electric drill and go slowly so you dont drill through the chrome then pulled them apart.Started off by washing and drying the black backing, then used 800 wet and dry to smooth it off, then moved onto 1200 just to get it super smooth. gave it a wipe with some meths to keep it clean and then gave it about 4 coats of plastic primer, and then about 5 of the yellow. couple of coats of laquer and I just stuck it all back together with some resin (I got that from work but superglue should do it) then used double sided sticky tape (which is all that was holding it on) to stick it back into the recess in the boot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amber Posted April 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 the yellow badge is an awesome ideai was thinking of doing my VW ring black and the background yellow nice touchthat'd look wicked I did wanna do that but I want to keep the chrome lupo badge on for now so I thought it'd look odd with one badge chrome and one black.
