Fresco SE

Its about time I put up a thread for my car! I used to own a white lupo sport but fancied a change so opted for a completely standard 1.0 SE.

I wasn't really planning on making too many changes but as you can guess, that didnt last for long! Initially I put in Alcantara roof lining, de-bump stripped and coded badges, and fitted Mk4 Recaro seat setup with the rears retrimmed in the same material. Then I got some 16" Porsche D90 wheels, had my arches rolled and lowered it with Weitec coilovers. It was looking alright but the standard material interior was pretty boring so I went for a full leather retrim of the mk4 seats, rear bench, doorcards and a few little extras too. I got the interior back a week or so before christmas and went out to take a few photos:

I made a few other changes after this, stubby mirror, audio etc and it went in at Southam for a couple of bits to be resprayed. I wasn't really happy with how it sat on the Porsche wheels though so I kept my eyes on the forums for a new set of wheels and some BBS RM's came up. They were completely standard, 15x6.5 in original silver paint, so I changed it about a bit with width and colour and fitted them the afternoon before Ultimate Dubs. Here's how it was at the show:

I still need to sort the ride height out properly and space the rear wheels out and I'm going to have the front seats retrimmed/adjusted as they're a bit looser than I'd like. smile.gif

fellow SE'er! i love how this colour looks so differant in differant lights!

Good choice changing the porsche rims! interiors nice, some quilting would finish it off a treat

Haha yeah its nuts. As soon as the sun comes out its green then nearly grey when its overcast. Wouldn't mind a bit of quilting but I don't think it would go down too well with my mate Sheps (Black Lupo with quilted orange interior)!

Think I'll be coming to Dubmania in this if I get some stance issues sorted as I dont think it sits too nicely yet. Only problem is that I get back from Australia on Friday so times gonna be tight!

If not, DC10 on the CV2 Dubs stand :)
