mrdanger2002 Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 Hey AllI've been a member for a while now and never really post much. Thought it was about time I shared some pictures of my Lupo with you.It's a 03 plate Lupo TDI in Anthracite Grey. I haven't done many mods to the the car - I like stuff to look fairly OEM most of the time. It's had a remapped, lowered on AP coilovers and I've changed the rear lights to cambridge lights. Inside I have changed the front speakers and tweets for Alpine R components and the headunit is an Apline W404r Double Din Media Player.Below are a few pictures of the Lupo before I put my most recent set of wheels on (I'll go into details in a mo)Picture in a car park on the local common as the sun was settingMost of the time she sits on some G60 steelies but for edition this year I spent a bit of time getting a set of Porsche Teledials sorted. I bought a set last year offset et 52 before Edition and had the lips polished and rattle canned them ivory/cream. Looked ok from a distance but mank up close.So this year I bought another set of teledials this time et 23. So that I could run et 52 on the front and et 23 on the rear.So they started off like this:And then I had them shot blasted, sprayed in white primer and got the lips and centres polished again. I then got a friend of mine whose an illustrator to use his creativeness and £35 worth of Sharpie marker pens to illustrate them. I really like the cartooning slightly crazed drawing look and my friend seemed quite happy to do it - not sure whether it's been done like this before or not.These 3 were taken at Edition:Since the show some bolt covers I ordered have arrived (did order them before Edition but they didn't turn up!)Finally a picture taken at night - we were trying to be creative!!Hopefully when I get a chance I'll get some better pictures of all the wheels on the Lupo - each one is different!As for what's next - looking at getting a decat, apart from that I'm not sure.

mrdanger2002 Posted November 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 Thanks - got the idea from my snowboard - a forum young blood 156 with a crazy design - and a new era cap designed by Jon Burgerman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

puggled Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 Looking good. Really weird, I'd mentioned to HalfOfZero about Shapieing wheels a few weeks ago! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrdanger2002 Posted November 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 Thanks for the comments.The good thing about using the sharpies is that when it fades I can just get my mate to recolour them!I'd like to take the idea a bit further at some point - maybe do a whole bonnet or tailgate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeW Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 It would look cool on the interior dash trim, like the bits i did in red. If you do it exactly how you did the wheels, with the white base it will look awesome! Then it will match the interior to the exterior nicely wihout going ott ! Thats what i'd do anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
