mattarosa Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 looking much better already, still need to fix those two eyes imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danyutz Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 Are you keeping the hood in that color? There aren't too many white Loops around, would look cleaner w/out the wrapped hood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnglandSoul Posted June 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 looking much better already, still need to fix those two eyes imo Yea I'll be changing the eyes to white as will look more clean at the front then Are you keeping the hood in that color? There aren't too many white Loops around, would look cleaner w/out the wrapped hood.I have been debating about this since I first bought the car I'm really torn. I'm changing the colour of the badges, mirrors and alloys to fantasia green and with a white bonnet it didn't look as good as it does with a black bonnet so I'm really torn ATM.

malte Posted June 7, 2014 Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 This car would look awesome in OEM+ style. Loose the sticker bombed tow covers and the make the hood white, also skip the fantasia stuff. Maybe I'm to much of a "purist" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted June 7, 2014 Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 Sort the bonnet and the stickerbomb crap and you're winning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OEM+ ftw haha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnglandSoul Posted June 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 Thanks for all the comments guys im definitely removing the sticky bomb stuff as dont like it at all, was on the car when i got it also on the inside as well As for the bonnet i just cant make up my mind. The missus is getting her GTi fully resprayed atm so after thats sorted i may venture down and see about getting mine done at the same place.Ive always wanted a white car so i should get the bonnet resprayed white haha. Just love the fantasia green on the lupos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnglandSoul Posted July 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 Been a while since i last updated anything as been busy getting married lol. Managed to sort out a few things recently as put a new cambelt and water pump in as didnt know when it was last done, also put a new abs pump in so the light is now off the dash and put some new side light bulbs in which match up nicely with the xenons!

EnglandSoul Posted July 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 So decided to do a temporary fix until i have the spare funds for a full respray. I have removed the sticky bomb off the front and also de stickered the back so it looks a lot more cleaner. Will be having the car in full white after much consideration. Just got to save up to afford a full respray Heres a couple of pics, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
