Thooooom Posted June 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Big update of little things...Thanks to Joti i finally de-tango'd my cambridge lights! before and after shot (though theyre actually after/before ) hahaalso carbon wrapped my B pillars after seeing AdamR4's and Joe Adamou's at Dub mania also got a super scene super cool screen side sticker. i also finally got the rear lower. its actually a little lower than this now and often catches the tyre with just two people in the car.on another note.. ive decided i dont like my centre caps, theyre far too bright and shiny for my liking, the problem is theres not much else choice out there that isnt stupidly expensive. anyone got any ideas ?trying to make my thread a bit more pic heavy, can you tell ?

Pic heavy is the way forward.......... yeah it looks so much better, was a pain of a job to do though, the orange plastic smelt horrible. haha.centre caps are a bit too much i think, and maybe a bit tacky?Rears sitting nice, mine catches on fast roads but that's about it really..mine catches quite alot but only on the passenger side with 2 people, and ive checked the tyre, its not even touching it really. the sound makes it seem worse than it is.

Looks really nice! loving the wheels. hopefully picking up my black lupo 1.4s within the next 2 weeks so I should be able to start posting on here. also like what you done with the boot, looks neat. keep it up!black 1.4S is the way forward ! cheers for the good words, means alot Love how its sat right now! looks awesome Those carbon pillars are a good idea toocheers man, its taken a while but im finally happy with it!

What else did you have in mind then, or just keep them flat red like the rest of the wheel?nice litle project you have going on here really love the cambridge lights.... were did u get yours from and how much if you dont mind me asking lolYou can get the lights from Dale (Lupoboz) in the traders section for about £90.

Thooooom Posted June 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 nice litle project you have going on here really love the cambridge lights.... were did u get yours from and how much if you dont mind me asking loli got mine from a guy who was breaking a lupo SE (they came standard on SE models) and managed to get a bargain, but you can buy them new through Lupoboz on here or alternatively i think Awesome GTI do them too but theyre more than through Lupoboz.Nothing tacky about the VW logo buddy! What else did you have in mind then, or just keep them flat red like the rest of the wheel?i had them plain before when i first put them on and it didnt look right, ideally i'd just like something not VW, but whenever i see Ronal centres theyre ridiculously priced.

Thooooom Posted July 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 I smoothed my rear lights recently, something I've always wanted to do but didn't think I'd manage, but it's came out really good hard to get a photo of really though.Here's a photo I got this morning of some fresh beading from my new wax! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, no guides or anything, I literally just went at it with sand paper, started at 1200 grit and went up to 1500 after, then wet sanded them, and polished them up, before wet sanding I thought I'd completely ruined them, but theve come out really nice now, make a huge difference, no more polish or wax getting stuck in them, and they look a lot smoother and cleaner now.

Thooooom Posted July 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 i love beading shots me too! took a few more this morning if youre interested..good job, i was thinking about taking my back seats out and build a force floor, was it an easy job or a pain in the ass?my back seats are still in actually, the bases arent because theyre easily removable but the backs are just folded down under the wood, makes a good level bass for the floor to sit on. It was pretty easy, just cut a sheet of wood. its slightly narrower at one end to fit around the big side pockets but was still pretty straight forward, then just bought some material off ebay which happens to be a perfect match to the original boor carpet. the sub false floor was a bit harder because of the shape, but still its easier than it looks, just take your time and remember you can always cut more off, but not stick it back on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I go up and down that highway nearly everyday too in my arosa, ive lowered it on joms almost all the way and its fine not the worst road, just be extremely careful on speedbumps. ive seen you drive around a few times and tried to catch up to you but you always speed away :L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
