Haakon Posted November 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 Almost finished Need to do some rust repair on the sills before they are wrapped, and do the right side pillar. Not sure about mirrors, tried one in matte green, but thinking maybe gloss black for mirror covers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haakon Posted November 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 A quick photoshop mod confirms my next plans, painting the wheels black and changing the front indicators from yellow to smoked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother_Will Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 If your going for the army aesthetic then id go with matte black for the mirrors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koop Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 Agreed, smoked side indicators too imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haakon Posted November 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 Smoked side indicators for sure! Already ordered some from ebay, this is how it will look then: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkey_biz Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 hey H, just realised i used to work an hour from you up in Bergen. worked for PGS Resevior and Exploration, Tied up alongside in Leirvik a couple of times but mainly ran from Bergen and Kristiansund.

Haakon Posted November 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 Small world eh? I can see Leirvik harbour from my house, its -1 degrees and foggy now, winter will soon set in.Tonight I have changed the coloured film on the front indicators from yellow to smoked, and smoked side indicators have already been shipped according to the seller on ebay. Just need to get the wheels off to paint them, but can't change back to summer tires now as its freezing outside. Salt truck just drove by the house.. no wonder cars rust over here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haakon Posted December 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 And with the crazy norwegian car taxes based on weight, emissions and horsepower, this is a £210,000 car over here in Norway. Or about £207,000 more than my Lupo Now I know how 0-60 in 3 seconds flat feels like! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koop Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 That's awesome. You wouldn't want to break down in the snow in it though they'd never find you haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 Lupo looks fantastic. 3L really suits the matte green. Winter tyres add to the military theme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost like we got here in Denmark Maybe that is why he got the red untaxed temporarely licenseplates on it ;)Nice Lupo, also follows it on lupo3lklubben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartagram Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 Looks really cool. Usual problem with matte/satin cars is they are done badly and looks patchy. But because its a nice uniform finish it looks a lot better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haakon Posted May 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 I totally forgot to include a pic of the car done, but here is one I also redid the roof, carbon vinyl gone, replaced it with 3M brushed steel wrap vinyl, and wrapped the mirrors in gloss black.What do you think?

Haakon Posted May 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 looks deadly! absolutly love it looks fantastic.This looks amazing mate. Good job!Stunning Thanks a lot guys It will look even better when adjusted down from winter height. (It actually snowed here last week).Just needs some sergeant stripes on the side now Would be cool, but since I wrapped my Lupo, 2 other VAG clubs cars here are wrapped in army green with military graphics, so mine actually stands out without them The roof wrap is maybe the coolest addition, hard to see in pics only, needs video to show how it looks from different angles. Here is a full wrap in the same vinyl: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
