Joti Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 16s are the way of the future, I'm sure Joti will agree I do Nice, I actually liked the Lenso RS5's (they do an anthracite with a polished lip too ) - wondered what they would look like on a Lupo and the answer is GOOD! Once this is lowered a bit, will look really fresh.I also like the fact that you have the letters W T F in your number plate - hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

franny Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 looks good on the white walled tyres and red rims would look sick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koop Posted April 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 Mrs Koop will probably kill me if I do whitewalls again tbf I've looked into whitewall flaps which could be put on temporarily for shows in theory but they need chunky tyres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

franny Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 What size tyres dude as mine will be for Sale when get my new ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koop Posted April 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 They need a minimum sidewall height of 61mm apparently so it'd have to be a set of fat 13s with 65 profile tyres I reckon"me julie"Yes that's how I normally refer to her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koop Posted April 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Jet washed the loop yesterday on the way to work, still got them bloody polish marks in the chips grrr...then of course it proceeded to p!$$ it down so it's bloody filthy again, ho hum. Also knocked my aerial off & it wouldn't screw back on (thread's sunk inside the aerial, it was only a cheapy ebay special & a mate from work gave it to me so not too bothered) so I'm rocking the OEM aerial again - actually really like it, might look for something cool & different but at a similar length rather than going the standard stubby route.Also I am currently engaged in an experiment - have been refusing to use my rear wiper for the last couple of days to see if I can cope without it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowan S Jones Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 "might look for something cool & different but at a similar length rather than going the standard stubby route."I swapped my standard with my mates mk4 ariel, made the lupo look like an RC car haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koop Posted April 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 (edited) Cool Lupo Cheers mate OK finally got some pics uploaded...Cleaning saturday after changing the fuel filterCleanThen waxed polished with AG super resin polishThen today (well yesterday now) was de-wiper time - would have got more progress pics but it was pi$$ing down - did get some quite nice beading though, that AG shiz is pretty good!Oops slightly broke a bit off getting the trim out - on the inside though so it's all good Wiper & motor stripped, just waiting for the blob of silicone in the end of the pipe to go off before putting the trim back on - before doing so I also tucked the pipe down on the the bottom left of the tailgate so if it does leak it won't be over any electrics!And here's the result, pretty pleased with my £1.79 mod Smoooooth For anyone interested in de-wipering the tailgate I used the 2nd guide in the information & how to's section, the 1st one you'll come across is more brief & hasn't got any pics. It was very helpful indeed, though it says the external nut for the wiper is a 14mm but it's actually a 13mm, or at least mine was (it's a 2000 model) Edited April 10, 2012 by Koop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
