Deadmetal Posted October 14, 2011 Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 Looks good.Needs the huge amounts of camber on the front sorted though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeW Posted October 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 Yea i konw dude, looks pretty cool in person but not good for the tyres! Gonna drop the front a little more within the next few days, find my perfect setup and then get it all sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeW Posted October 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 (edited) Plans for pay day at the end of the month:1. Lower the front a tad more2. Get allignment and camber sorted3. Well needed service4. Sort out problem with the heaters smoking5. Get some black pinstripe tape and try to creatively cover the horrific bump strip mark on driver door (will do same to passenger sode too)6. Get some carbon vinyl to do rear badge and maybe tidy up some tatty interior trim7. Re-consider any stickers8. Shiney dust cap and valve covers9. Move front numberplate to the NS corner10. A massive clean Edited December 21, 2011 by MikeW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JampotJamie Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 Hey man... cars lookin dope! Them wheels really suit it. Look even more sick with more lows as you said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeW Posted October 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 Cheers mate! Not sure how much lower i can go without scrubbing, mite try another 10mm on thursday when im free, guess a bit of trial and error until i can get the arch to fit the wheel. Gotta keep in mind how the wheel will sit when i get the camber sorted too, suppose its lucky i got some stretch to help me play about with. Only problem at the moment is that the coilover spring seat fits in the stretch of the tyre, so that mite be an issue without spacing.

MikeW Posted October 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 (edited) Looking clean mate!How come you went for nankang and not bridgestones?Cheers mate, got them because the nankangs were a bit cheaper, and at the time it was either get them, or have to wait till next pay day to get bridgestones. Yes, cash was really that tight The lupo looks great mate. Especially with.the new wheels on.Thanks dude Edited October 19, 2011 by MikeW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisMyles309 Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 very nice car mate i did my dash red aswell but then got board of it and went to carbon but the car looks smashing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeW Posted October 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 How can you get bored of the red! It's so colourful haha carbon is always a good look too.Gonna try and lower the front a little more tomorrow, if its not too cold, and give him a good clean. I love how ive put new wheels on and am going to go a little lower when i should be doing the opposite to prep it for winter. Never mind Once i get the allignment done, il put the steels back on for the winter, just want to get it to sit nice on these wheels first.

gameoner Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 i really like this, wheels really set it off! Dash looks trick too, where'd you get your bumper and roof done? Ryan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeW Posted October 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 Thanks mate!! Got the bumper done at a bodyshop in Hersham, literally a 1min drive from my house. Managed to get it done as a bit of cash work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gameoner Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 Looks good! Ah, you're local to me.. I'm only 5mins away in esher. I hardly ever see lupo's around this way. Really wanna get mine back on the road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeW Posted October 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 Wound the fronts down a few more threads today, took it for a couple of photos at Garsons farm, plus the massive speed bumps on the way helped the springs settle no doubt. I should really start using my camera, but here is a few off my phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshuaar Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 Looking good man. Can't help but think that the wheels need to be spaced out a little more though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyParanoid Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 these are the ET38 Lensos no? I bought the ET20 ones and they stick out a bit more than these dooo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeW Posted October 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 Looking good man. Can't help but think that the wheels need to be spaced out a little more thoughCould do with some spacers, not in too much of a hurry to get some though, i quite like a little bit of tuck When i get the front camber sorted, it wont look as bad, will still tuck tho.these are the ET38 Lensos no? I bought the ET20 ones and they stick out a bit more than these doooAs far as i am aware they are the ET20, thats what they were labelled as on alloywheels.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeW Posted October 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 Managed to turn my car black using the 'fix red eye' tool on windows photo gallery, worked quite well. Looks cool in black !!!!... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadmetal Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 Looking good.No way are those wheels et20 though. I've got et40 + a 13mm spacer (so et27) on the rear and they are alot close to the arch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
