Kent Posted January 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 ^ I thought about that to be fair, I bought the wheels already red but planned on changing the colour until I ran them on the car first. Red seems to work so well but is quite a common colour (everyone does silver & red or silver & black). I'll have to do a few photoshops first and see where to go. Anyway, off to Autosport show today so hopefully pick some little car goodys up as I'm there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thooooom Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 How was the show man? I'm up there tomorrow, might see what's up for sale cheap.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent Posted January 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 Mate it was good, the live arena thing was shockingly bad though. The F1 car lad span it and nearly hit a wall and even the drifter lost it and span out, the commentator tried covering up saying "and he's showing off doing half a doughnut" or something queer. Mate I'll post the pics I took to sum it up in a minute lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw David Coulthard, Paul Di Resta & another bloke Ive met before forgot his name though he's a rally driver. It was good mate, some nice cars there and the girls are alright too I actually think I took more pictures of the girls than I did of the cars.....Subaru Girl by Ross Mullins, on FlickrSRD Models 2 by Ross Mullins, on FlickrMaxxis Girl & Camper by Ross Mullins, on FlickrMaxxis Girl Bike by Ross Mullins, on FlickrPirelli Girls by Ross Mullins, on FlickrClub MSV Girl by Ross Mullins, on FlickrAdrian Flux Girls by Ross Mullins, on Flickrtold you.. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kent Posted January 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 ^^ I only saw Jason Plato forgot about him. He was in the live show, but something had happened earlier one of them had crashed one of the cars (apparantly). So dunno if it was same show as found it quite boring!

Thooooom Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 I went today, some people from 5th gear were there, but not all of them. The show was alright,very very cheesy. Some nice cars around though. The merc sls gt3 thing was insane, one of my favourites. As for the girls, some were horrible, I found myself looking and walking away haha. Maxxis girls for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxxis girls for me Yeah was quite cheesy which is probabaly why I didn't like it, and as for the girls.... maybe I just have low standards as all but 2 I thought lol Booooooobs! haha, I had loads of photos with them and I'm not little but with their heels and the fact they're models theyre like 8ft! So my head came right next to them --------Unfortunately my big update STILL isn't here, 50 days now! Quite frustrating as it's a LOT of money spent and the most expensive car related thing I've bought and estimated delivery was 2-3 weeks, I'll add a week extra due to Christmas period but it's still 3 weeks over with no explanation why I'm just being led along and told "only a couple of days now" then told the same next week!!!!! I wouldn't mind so much if I was just told an estimated date...However on the bright side, I've nearly finished polishing my wheels, so long has gone into this but the radio and a mate helping me for a bit has helped me along!Quite happy with how they're looking now.BBS RM's 15x7.5 ET 20 by Ross Mullins, on FlickrBBS, Finally polished 2 now! by Ross Mullins, on FlickrI've still got the front two to finish, they're both polished to a degree just not mirror yet.My mates have also just bought a vinyl cutter so had some new stickers made up for the car and cut 2 red vinyl pieces to put on the I of the GTI badge as the original sticker had faded quite a lot. (Was shocked to find it was a sticker over it, thought it was actually painted metal...... Skimpy VW!!! Quite impressed with the result actually looks a lot smarter but I didn't grab any pictures!!

Thooooom Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 Went to the midlands cruise tonight, and saw that other silver gti with red RMs, also red leather retrim. It makes me want to agree with your colour change ideas, but at the same time, when I think about it red definitely seems to be the best colour haha.Dying to see what this update is! I'd be kicking off by now, it's taking ages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did one of mine today will put some photos in my thread tomorrowJust saw them bud, look brilliant Love how your car is heading, so clean and so much dedication has gone into it. Wish mine will be on parr with it someday!!Went to the midlands cruise tonight, and saw that other silver gti with red RMs, also red leather retrim.

I'd be kicking off by now, it's taking ages.Yeah I met the lad with that Lupo last week, he's sound actually although last time I saw his was at Midland Cruise where I saw you and it was on Ronal Turbos then!! The other thing is were both displaying on the same stand at the Fast Show lol!! So that will be interesting lol!!And yeah the 'update' is taking the pee really, I keep emailing and pestering but after spending the amount I have I'm annoyed at their lack of customer service. You'd have thought I'd have been advised of any delays and kept in the know... obviously not! Maybe air? Well that's my guess!nope afraid not, not QUITE that exciting... I bet 90% of people will be like "omg how can you call that exciting"... but I can't wait hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent Posted January 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Right, finally got news I'd been waiting for!! They expect my order in on Tuesday so should be with me either the end of that week or early the following (FINGERS CROSSED)!Oh and I also got paid today so more cash has disappeared straight out on a few other surprise goodies!! I so can't wait for summer haha.Also has anyone bought these instead of changing the numberplate bulbs? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rear-License-Number-Plate-Light-LED-Lamps-Replace-OEM-Assembly-Holder-bulbs-/280713846879?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Model%3ALupo&hash=item415bd9605f#ht_3484wt_1313Look as if they're going to be a lot brighter (I'd hope so for the price)?

Lupo-Joe Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 More goodies And as above about them lights on eBay I wouldn't spend that on them to be honest as you can buy single bulb replacement for your current ones just LED. I have these in mine if you would like a picture and there only like £3!!Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SO EXCITINGGGGGG!And I have LED ones in now, but they're not as bright as I'd like just wondering how those are due to having so many bulbs within.. hmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lupo-Joe Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Yeah good point. How many LED's have you got at the moment? Maybe you can get more in there before spending £25 Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SO EXCITINGGGGGG!And I have LED ones in now, but they're not as bright as I'd like just wondering how those are due to having so many bulbs within.. hmmRoss, these ones are really bright, they look amazing,I'm an LED whore!:http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/320651095658?redirect=mobile#ht_2710wt_783And it's not about having more led bulbs it's about having current, less is more, you reach aPoint when adding more SMDs that they starting draining the current as they are using it all, then the light actually gets dimmer. The ones above are good as they are using the power most efficiently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent Posted January 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 (edited) Yeah good point. How many LED's have you got at the moment? Maybe you can get more in there before spending £25 JoeI'm not entirely sure, but I know the bulbs cost me about £14 off eBay.. they're bright but have a SLIGHT blueish tinge to them look. There's an R32 I see locally with SUPER BRIGHT WHITE lights, they're that bright you can barely see his plate though... hmmRoss, these ones are really bright, they look amazing,I'm an LED whore!:http://www.ebay.co.u...e#ht_2710wt_783And it's not about having more led bulbs it's about having current, less is more, you reach aPoint when adding more SMDs that they starting draining the current as they are using it all, then the light actually gets dimmer. The ones above are good as they are using the power most efficiently.The ones currently in are similar to that, I might bite the bullet and buy the whole compartment ones later as surely with it being the whole compartment it would spread the light output? I'm not sure... I should block eBay off my computer!ALSO!!! ITS NOT LONG TILL TUESDAY!!!!?!?!?!?!?! When I'll know for definite I'll have my order soon, I am buzzzzzzzzing. I should have a couple of exciting things arriving next week all car related, the bank even blocked my card as I bought so much stuff from Germany they thought they were unauthorized transactions lol!And here's a quick photo I took as we went for a walk around the countryside and parked in a abandoned layby... the bloke in the truck parked behind was either asleep or dead... but I parked there and saw him and he was still there 3 hours later.. weirdMy Lupo by Ross Mullins, on Flickr Edited January 29, 2012 by Kent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
