Jowey Posted February 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 I may have to use the Mk1 bottom half of the rear bumper on the Lupo top, love the little dip on it.Daily obviously the chopped springs will raise it a bit .. but you get the idea of justhow much moar travel I now have.I love the bottom of the mk1 bumpers.I prefer the color of textured plastic too.Its a sort of charcoal grey rather than black.Now that you have Audi winters however. You need to get the lower sections of the bumpers smoothed and painted the same color as the center caps... that sort of pearly metllic gray.because that is what they do on the actual A6/A8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Green Giant Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 YES!!!! Jowey i have been speaking to Rob, he's game. i'll let you know when! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pro3mark Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 Now that you have Audi winters however. You need to get the lower sections of the bumpers smoothed and painted the same color as the center caps... that sort of pearly metllic gray.because that is what they do on the actual A6/A8Haha, and what happens when i have the RS's on?I have many plans, god knows when and if i'll get them all done.Have a few bumpers, so i could sort it though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jowey Posted February 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 Haha, and what happens when i have the RS's on?would still look lovely.When i say smoothed i dont mean totally smoothed. Just take the texture off of the lower sections and have some nice shiney silvery audi center cap color paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pro3mark Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 Yeah, i thought thats what you meant, i'd probably go over the Audi centers to add more depth, they're flat ATM.Hmm, could do that the Mk1 stuff when it's removed.I hate plans Gosh i love this!Just makes me want a cheap arosa/lupo to much about with!Swap?Okay, swap plus £500?

Little Green Giant Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 Does it move at all like that? or are the tops of the wheels touching the inside of the arch? hhmmmm... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jowey Posted February 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 they rub the inside of the bumper where it meets the arch.Obviously the chopped springs will raise it up solving this problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Green Giant Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 how much will it have to go up so that it doesn't rub?? Hurry up and get the rest painted!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pro3mark Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 When mine was on the winters, the shocks stopped before the arch touched the wheel.Was close though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amber Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 That is mad! Really love the colour too. He's looking better and better the more panels you paint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jowey Posted February 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 how much will it have to go up so that it doesn't rub?? Hurry up and get the rest painted!!!It depends on how much the springs compress.It's going to be lower than before, the point is with a chopped spring I will still have travel outback and the springs wont fall out/ seat oddly when jacked upAs for getting painted.. Rain, daylight and warmth are distinctly lacking at the moment.However I have made a start on the front bumper. Decided not to smooth it the filler wont last five minutes. I have to drag the bumper across the floora good meter or so everytime I get on the driveway.When mine was on the winters, the shocks stopped before the arch touched the wheel.Was close though.The travel is enough to tuck the whole tire up and still there is travel left. It only stops because the beam hits the rigidbody.As in the back could not physically go lower without notching of some description.That is mad! Really love the colour too. He's looking better and better the more panels you paint Thank you Amber.I really want the whole thing done.. its taking sooo long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
