Tomjw Posted October 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 Hi all! Havent updated on here for a while because I haven't really done much else to the loop but I've got plans ready for winter... Wether I go through with them or not all depends on my cash flow as it's mainly bodywork changes. Anyways here are some pictures of how the loop stands at the moment after a good clean... Then it rained... typical!I would like to get some opinions on these bumpers that I am looking at aswell... Probly wont be to everyone's taste but I like them and theyre different. I was just wondering if they would be difficult to fit as theyre aftermarket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amber_Nunny Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 Loving the car - Looking really tidy.I really want that Lupo cake!Really not too keen on the bumpers :\But if it's what you want then i'd go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomjw Posted October 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 Recent update...I was driving yesterday to my house and noticed a nasty smell... smelt like my clutch was burning but it felt fine and didnt smell anything after that so I took no notice until I smelt it again today and felt the steering wheel was pulling to the left... which I know that my left caliper has recently started sticking... so I gathered my caliper has seized and the pad was getting very hot causing the smell so I pulled over as Ive heard it can set on fire! So the front pads, discs and caliper and being replaced! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres still a few minor things which need sorting over winter and the wheels are actually up for sale but I prefer to swap as it saves the effort of finding some I went with purple because everyone does yellow and black *boreeeee* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

polariskid Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 What type of paint did you use on the interior? I'm looking to do the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomjw Posted November 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 The same paint which was used on the wheels dude but laquered to hell lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polariskid Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 Out of a can? Then lacquered on top? Thinking of getting white primer and the Lupo Flash Red so it really stands out bright. And doing similar bits to you. Reckon that'll work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomjw Posted November 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 *Update*So I decided to get my sub fitted as I couldnt sell it for the price I wanted. My mate fitted it for me as he's the bass geek and done an amazing job setting it up and getting it to look tidy Really pleased with how it sounds aswell for a sealed box... Im using a good quality 4awg wiring kit with the terminals grinded down to fit the amp as the 4awg terms are alot bigger then the amp ones... Ive got the audio bug now so I want to upgrade everything and hopefully have my mate design a box for me with a 12" DC Level 5 sub running off a Sundown amp and 0AWG wires but for now this will do as I can get the air shifting on a decent song and the interior shakes like mad I will upload pictures of it when I get them off my phone!
