If you don't mind me asking... How on earth did you do that !? looking at getting my dash done as well, your's looks smart :D

Cheers :)

I just took all the parts out, took it to a local place and got it all sprayed in gloss black.

To be honest it needs redoing in mine, few bits of dust under the paint in some places.

Nice cheap interior mod though and I really like it :)

So show season isn't far away so I've given the car a good clean this weekend - finally! ^_^

...The only problem was defrosting the hosepipe!

Now thats commitment!

To end the winter neglect Alva was washed, clay barred, polished and waxed :)

Nice and clean!

Same colour I had :o

Not too sure that they're the same colour, the picture doesn't make them look exactly how they are in real life. Very nice though ^_^

Anyway, the boyfriends choice of colour, I'd rather have them turquoise :wub:

Just worth twice as much ;)

:lol:

Not quite as much as you'd imagine though as they're redrilled to 5x100

Love the pink Rm's the centre rings dont have the dimples, have they been smoothed or are they different?

Look forward to more updates :)

They're off a different set of BBS but I'm not exactly sure what...If someone could work it out then it would be appreciated :lol:

Thanks ^_^

The colour is amazing <3 but your choice would look sweet aswell! Cant wait to see it at some shows and local meets :) Me you ben and smila need to get a p.shoot on the go! Quick question, how did you get your tpiece to sit so flush? I cut most of the lugs off mine but still doesnt sit right... might borrow bens grinder :P Keep up the good work!

Excited to see yours with the new bumper btw!

We do indeed.

Need Ben to hurry up and get his car done ;)

I got a Stanley knife and cut everything off so you can't tell that the plastic weld was there.

I didn't even glue it back in with anything, just the 3 clips but it holds and doesn't seem to rattle :)

And you :)

I reckon you should come over to the weekly Coventry meet one time :)

Would be nice to have some other lupo company! ^_^

I think the answer is they're standard parts sprayed gloss black
