Tom_C Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 Think yellow may make the car look cheap? there is a rather lot of surface area on them so they really do stand out. I was thinking of buying some bmw bbs wheels and painting them dark purple.. not sure yet thoughWhat about a light/bright red?? you got red interior so wouldn't look to out of place?? or like gunmetal grey silver kind of color??

sam_vr6 Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 What about a light/bright red?? you got red interior so wouldn't look to out of place?? or like gunmetal grey silver kind of color??Red will probs look good, and will be good to match interior like Tom_C said.

Sam Howell Posted February 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 bwt your glad its finally back on the road then! Always good to hear, hows it running now then...Very happy . Well it seems like the power is very sudden mid range all the way rev limiter compared to what it was like before. Did have to do loads of miles before I could put my foot down though which was annoying! Are you still looking for wheels as I can get pictures of the standard alloys tomorrow if you like?

Sam Howell Posted October 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 totally forgot about updating this thread. Lupo is now on VW Starlites, Gti interior and a new engine. Not the gti engine but a fully rebuilt low mileage engine. It has changed a lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
