heartagram Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Think the white roof and mirrors works well. Makes a change from the usual black! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiamD Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 White roof is cool. I like it.I'd remove the white sunstrip and get some alloys with painted white centres! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GtiJames Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 Gotta admit.... when i was readin the new members bit i didnt like the sound of white with yellow but it actually works really well! Looks pretty tidy, nice loop! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamD Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 I wouldn't colour code the bumpers, but it may work with the white parts.Instead of colour coding the rubstrips, remove them, looks so much nicer, and it's cheaper. Just errr, watch your nails, I ruined mine doing it, haha.Yellow 1.0's are the coolest Lupos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiamD Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 It didn't change the colour on mine, and mine was 2 years older.If there is any colour change, it won't be anything a good polish wouldn't sort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoobydoo Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 bump strips r a pain in the ass lol but free so worth doin. i used dental floss and a hairdryer on one side and couldn b bothered with the other so jus grabbed it and pulled it off. wouldn advise this incase paint got pulled off but it did work better. way less glue left over. anywho for the left over glue the autoglym intensive tar remover was the ticket..

xXx-Amy-xXx Posted February 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 Thanks for the tips...Got my rear bumper smoothed yesterday, NOT all dat pleased with it to be honest. Went in today and complained. Bit cheeky to complane as he did it for nothing. We had a deal you see. So back bumper smooth (sort of), along with front and back bumper colour codded. Does look a lot tidyer though.Guess I may be plaesed with it when I see it.Pics coming soon, none for a long time I no.xXx-Amy-xXx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xXx-Amy-xXx Posted February 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 Had a go at the bumper strips today, umm... all was well in the garage. Colour change was bad. Yellow Lupo on a 02 Reg. Disapointed and ruined my day. Tried sticking it back on and keeps comin off. Help!!! Is there any way to blend the colour in? Or is it the deep pocket way out with a respray?
