fatttty Posted August 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 (edited) Not done much since fitting the BBS other than try and rebuild my destroyed bank balance, changed the Eagle F1's to Nankangs after they rubbed like buggery on the backs, now running 165/50 on the 7's and 185/45 on 7/5's so far so good. Rear adjusters are coming out tomorrow so shes slammed for Edition, after suffering the humiliation of having a dirty car when i last appeared at the Pod I thought I'd get in early and give him a clean today.Pretty pleased with the results, but washing him again Friday before heading to Edition.Exterior-- Wash down with hose- Full wash with two bucket method using autoglym body shampoo and condition (sounds like my hair lol) and Megs Microfibre wash mit- Clayed all over with Chemical guys detailer spray and megs clay bar- Small swirls removed with Simoniz colour restorer (one coat)- Polished with autogym resin polish (two coats)- Waxed using Dodo juice diamond white hard wax (two coats)Wheels-- Weren't too bad as I've been using Poorboys wheel sealant so just washed off with Chemical guys wheel stuff- Outer dishes were polished with Autosol (top stuff)- Tyres dressed with Turtlewax tyre siliconeInterior-- Hoovered- Dash and plastics I used Autoglym Interior and Rubber spray- Leather was treated with Autoglym Leather CareResults ::::::::::: Edited August 27, 2008 by fatttty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatttty Posted March 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 righty, just had him back from the body shop yesterday.Has the rear bumper resprayed as it had a few niggly bits wrong with it, rear badge, boot handle and lock removed and smoothed and a few scrapes on the lower front bumper done. Really really pleased with the job, couldnt be happier Fitted the smaller Passat rear VW badge and refitted the anniversary GTI badges.Got a Euro stubby driverside mirror (electric and heated) from VW a while back and finally got this fitted, brought a second set of mirror caps that I had sprayed red to match the BBS, had this done whilst the boot was being done.Also swopped the hex centres on the BBS to silver, although wasnt keen so put the red ones back on.Heres the pics >> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bithmeister Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 wow that is a lovely gti ,the mirrors are perfect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatttty Posted May 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 Quick update, been sorting out the engine bay ready for the summer. Had the engine cover split and sprayed silver and red and also moved the BMC to the side of the engine rather than the back.. not sure if its been done before but i tihkn it looks pretty nice.. opinions?Needs more cleaning and little bits (new washer bottle, caps etc) but im quite please with how its turning out.

B12TH M Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 Absoluetly love this car! Well done mate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lauryn Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 Absolutely stunning, definately one of my favourite Lupos! The engine bay looks amazing, ties in really well with the general theme of the car. My only criticism is the rear badge looks just a tad too high up, I'd move it down a little more into the middle, or just above the middle. Pretty much perfect though in my eyes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much perfect though in my eyes thanks Lauryn yeah i agree with the rear badge.. im too scared to take it off though as i put it on about an hour after it came out the oven and the lacquer was a bit soft :S might move it and have it repainted when i raise the cash!
