(instead of trying to suede it.) Looks like the spray comes out really well. Finding a sunroof lupo's headlining though its solid!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge112 Posted January 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 the headlining itself is done in suede, well just finishing off lolive only sprayed the parcel shelf for now, and ill see what fabrics left over, and do it eventually but yeah the roof itslef is a bit of a bugger in placesrandom pictures from todays efforts lolhad the sunroof out to put the retrimmed hatch thingy back in, thank god it didnt rain lol(dont think i could have got more cars in the picture if id tried lol)and thought id put this up, makes the lupo look tiny i thought lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge112 Posted January 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 small update todaygot this cone filter from vpolo the other week, and got a silicone bend now so fitted it before...after...ignore my engine bay atm, its full of dust and generally needing some attention and paint the filter makes a big difference, the car idles much nicer aswel as sound loads better , although i wanna make it black and not grey lolim gonna get rid of the old pipework and get a cold air feed put in, got one sat in the garage already lolthoughts?cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge112 Posted February 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 well ordered some vinyl the other day off ebay...planned on making my own camouflage in certain places on the car had a quick go and done the sunroof switch surround bit, thought id break up all the black plastic plus a bit different...not 100% sure on it just yet, may add a bit more white and black to it, but didnt wanna go OTTplus might spray the interior light too, not too sure tbhWhat does everyone think??cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pro3mark Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 That camo looks awesome and on parts that aren't that obvious, easy to apply? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge112 Posted February 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 cheers yeah i like it but i dont want it to be too in your face if you likethe vinyl not too hard, the engine cover is a bit difficult because of the shape in places lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge112 Posted February 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 it also a bit awkward because we had to cut the shapes out ourselves, to make the camo patternthe engine was sprayed grey and the sunroof things was wrapped in vinyli couldnt fine any camo that i like in sheetsm or for a cheapish price either, this way probably easier though lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
