Surferdude0702 Posted March 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 My dad made me have it at a sensible low haha but it looks good and still goes over things well, I might spray badges, not sure yet, I'm starting to run out of ideas! I might get some cambridge lights at some point, what ideas do you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Johns Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 Youll want to go lower soon enough haha, yeah badges is always a quick one to do, umm my idea for mine are sort body work, get my new wheels on, possible leather re trim, double din head unit, re furb and spray the sports for winter wheels, and just the odd mechanical bit that needs doing really, you could always debadge the lupo and 1.4 along with a de wiper majkes such a difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surferdude0702 Posted March 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 I'll keep it at the height it is until I pass then i'll but it on it's ass haha. Sounds good, leather interior is so nice but I don't have the funds for that, I have de badged the lupo and 1.4 and might do the wiper some time then. I need so sort my stereo as my reception is really poor on the radio for some reason There are a few interior bits I want to make nicer like my drivers side mirror in the sun visor is broken and my interior door handles are really tatty, I'm going to focus on little bits to make her all round nicer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Johns Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 Yeah the little bits are the best thing to do, will make you feel better about it as well, youve got your lows witch is the main thing mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surferdude0702 Posted April 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 Little bit of an update, I have removed my rear wiper and am pretty happy with how the back looks now I also got a sub for the boot Now officially nothing can fit in there I also got a new head unit as the one mine came with was awful. I'll upload some photos when I get back from holiday as I'm off to Cyprus for 10 days tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surferdude0702 Posted April 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 Bidding on some new speakers for the front on ebay which go off tonight so hopefully my audio will be all sorted soon My mate has gotten a lupo too now but as he has gone down the black box route he can't modify it, I do like to mock Look how high his looks compared to mine! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surferdude0702 Posted April 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 Right then, today I decided I'd start sanding one of my wheels ready for spraying, I am a bit of a novice at this and would like to know how far I have to sand...? This is what I have done so farBefore:And after:Hopefully I shall primer that one tomorrow, still haven't decided what colour I want them though!!

And yeah I am thinking like a dark purple, but I can't find one I want I'll have a look around and see if I can find a good purple that I can get them to mix in halfrauds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koop Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 (edited) There's bit on the bottom left still looks a bit rough 'n' rusty? Just try & get them as smooth as you can before you start painting, it's all about the prep. Though tbh that's probably better than I got my steels on the S (look left lol) they are only steels after all Edited April 11, 2012 by Koop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surferdude0702 Posted April 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 Yeah some bits are a bit and I have tried to get most sanded down but some just doesn't budge, I'm not too bothered as like you said it's only steels. I settled for satin black, I have done 2 wheels, I'll post pictures in a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
