MikeW Posted December 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 Looks great dude... Thank you I'm gonna try and do a night photoshoot soon, put my new camera to the test. Then i will hopefully, for the first time ever, have some photos that do the car justice! Maybe some petrol station shots, i cant help but constantly stare at my car whilst in the line to pay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JordanVW Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 Just read your thread mate!!.. a really nice attention to detail youve got, makes me want to get my *ss in gear and sort my car out with a respray!!! ive got the same problem as you, when removing my doorstrips i got a naaaaasty mark left (i think its chipped into the paintwork) im toying over a vinyl wrap on the whole car... or a complete respray!!!!!! nice work tho.

MikeW Posted December 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 Appreciate that mate It does suck about the door mark, mine just looks terrible ! I would love a respray, i've just gotta save up. It would be better than a vinyl wrap though imo. Oh and i also want to get my original seats retrimmed in brown leather . Big dreams for such a little car haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fountain Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 Is it just me or is there crazy camber on the front ?? :/ Rest of it looks good though mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeW Posted January 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 There is a lot of camber on the front, yes. But at them moment that is what is stopping me scrub, im too low to get the camber straightened without having to get my arches rolled. Thanks though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeW Posted January 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 (edited) Here's a couple more for you, i can't claim the right to these ones though as they weren't taken by me Thanks. Edited January 4, 2012 by MikeW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeW Posted January 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 Thank you Makes me want to wind the fronts down more, move the 10mm spacers from the rear to the front, and get wider spacers for the rear. Looking at the pic of the rear fitment, it looks like there is another 10mm to play with... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeW Posted January 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Today at uni i started to make my own 20mm spacers so i can use them on the rear. Im using a 25mm block of ally so i can make them hubcentric as well. I am using the 5mm FK spacers that i have on the front as a template as they are specifically for the lupo so all the measurements are correct. To make it easier to work with, i took both of the front spacers out. When i put the wheels back on (without the front spacers) i found that 3 bolts on one wheel had their thread stripped, so instead of tightening they just kept spinning ! This has happened in the past but only 1 bolt at a time so i assumed it had a dodgy thread on the hub, but it just seems strange that 3 bolts should strip all at the same time. I've emailed the wheel company who sent them as i am pretty sure its not my hub, but crap quality bolts instead. This is frustrating!Looks like i'll be putting the steel wheels back on tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newton Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 Went for a little photo session last night...here are the results. (My best efforts below)Those two are nice! The condensation in the window on the second one makes the dash look cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeW Posted February 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 Thanks newton ! Ha i do like how the the dash clocks add a little colour I'm not very gifted with photography though. I also wish the window thing where the vw badge is wasn't scuffed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeW Posted February 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 Thanks mate The one i use for my sig and the other 2 in that set were taken by my girlfriend who is a photographer, thats why they are better than my set I like this one of mine.
