stevewp Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 (edited) Well, after finally lowering the little loop, I thought it was up to having some pictures posted showing the old girl off. There's nothing even remotely special been done, and there's still more to do (mostly colour-coding), but she's now finally got to the stage of looking tidy. border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> Edited July 16, 2005 by stevewp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevewp Posted June 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 Wonky? No. Doctored? Oh yes!! And you may have noticed the S has moved leftward somewhat!! He he. WOnder how long it'll be before she gets pulled?! Any idea what the lights are? I bought them off a local girl who didn't know what they were a while back. They're not altogether my taste, but different, and better than the normal Lexus-style ones. Calipers are the proper stuff. They actually didn't go at all as planned, but have ended up being ok. Close inspection shows the faults, which I was going to do while changing the springs, but couldn't be bothered. Will do it next time I have the wheels off and some time. Really want to paint the mirrors and lower bumpers, get some spots in the bumper, fit the hatch-top spoiler (which is half painted) and possibly bang on one of those Jetex exhausts, but that's more-or-less it. Unless I paint the door handles to match too, but I'm not too sure about that. Oh, and I'm thinking about putting smoked side repeaters on too, but again we'll see.

Tigz™ Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 The lights were the first set of lamps out for the Loop.they did too styles, the chrome ones you have, and Titeniam that Twisty had.Think most sets hae been three of four owners old, everyone seems to keep them 6 months then sell them back on again!

stevewp Posted June 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 It certainly is. Just the standard colour. Grim in ways, but kinda cool in others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevewp Posted June 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 Ah, does it look like Miss? It's meant to be Mrs. I had mine originally much less subtle than hers is and got pulled after 6 months, so I wanted to tone hers down slightly. If it looks wrong though, I'll do her another set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, they're not the official Club Lupo ones, money from which goes to the club, so I won't try to persuade anyone to get any off me instead of Blackrat, but if anyone wants anything else along those lines done I'll happily oblige.

stevewp Posted July 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 Well, the spoiler's finally on, the Lupo badge and bulldog sticker removed, ariel replaced and VW badge backing colour-coded, so time for some pics of the changes. border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" />The word Lupo in the spoiler is the original brake light, so lights up when braking (as per the old cover I had on there).
