Hey guys, I've had this car for a few months now and decided now is a good a time as any to get started on it. I'm taking a different route to most and not whacking the coilovers on straight away. they'll go on when i'm happy with the rest of the car.

Sorry for the imgur links, can't seem to figure out how to get pictures into the post, if anyone could help that'll be appreciated and i'll try sort it out when i update this.

Will be starting this weekend, time to put this industrial sewing machine to some good use, watch for the updates!

Nice one lads, will be buying the material for my seats today, will also make a new gear gaiter probably black with blue stitching, then i'll see what i have left and do the door cards too.

If you don't fancy making your own gear gaiter in the end, these a pretty good - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FITS-VW-POLO-Mk3-6N2-00-01-GEAR-GAITER-LEATHER-BLUE-STITCH-/390769339603?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item5afbaaecd3

Cheers guys, the only thing i'm stuck with are wheels, i'm not sure what i want. I don't want bbs, to common and I've been advised not to get anything above 14" what are your guys opinion? what would go with the colour of my car also?

You've been advised to not get wheels above 14"?! I would think the most common wheel size on here would be 15" tbh. 13" are just too small if you lower your Lupo, as the arch gap is MASSIVE. Don't get me wrong though, they can look good when done properly, but you have to be dedicated! Also 14" are a bit uncommon, as there isn't (as) much choice of wheel in this size.

I've run polished alloys for summer and currently cream wheels for the Winter and my car is the same shade as blue as yours. Not sure what other colours really suit a blue car, maybe a nice red as a contrast?

Well I've scoured the Internet all day, and I think I've finally decided on some wheels, I'll stay quiet about them, don't want to give anything away, they are 15" though.
