I need you to come buff my headlights, my attempt was average at best.

Looking forward to seeing it clayed, be careful in this weather though...

Keep it wet Icon_wink

If it's like the carbon covers on mine, it's the heat, not a lot you can do about the colour.

Ridiculous clean is ridiculous! If you're going to do a job though...

Just a few more mechanical bits need doing then the modifications/upgrades can start

Ok so I have my ideas where I'm going with the car now !

Body work is average at best so will be looking into wrap/paint (in the long term)

Short term

Replace coilovers s they're knackerd for something more handling focused than the budget ones it's currently running

Front upper and lower braces
Rear upper brace and a white line anti roll bar
SS 4 branch and full SS exhaust

As most know I'm looking at getting wheels off a new mini and making them fit just waiting for the funds to allow the price they fetch !

After that I'm considering buckets harnesses and a cage, not for track but to have a smart clean/track look car main reasons its got a sun roof and a tiny engine so won't be worth taking on track


RE: *MAXXD* Ash's VW Lupo sport - OllieWestwood - 02-08-2013 09:11 AM

Sounds like a plan! How much are mini wheels fetching? There must be loads about there seem to be billions of minis!

You don't need a billion horsepower to have fun on a track but the race look is a good plan, maybe a chrome cage like I used to have in the punto?

What's first on the list to get sorted?

Swa a proper tidy lupo the toher day with some ret small wheels that stuck out a mile.. sat on its arse..

That had a kinda "race" look to it...

Very cool Icon_cool

Yea chrome show cage is an option at a later date

Surprisingly finding mini wheels in 15-16 is hard most are 17+ but they fetching about £300 which is a lot considering its a standard wheel

New coilovers will be going on soon collected them earlier this week AND I'm picking up new wheels tonight a very common wheel but not seen in the dub scene very much Icon_smile

Need a major refurb so will be blasted and powder costed when funds recover then I will reveal Icon_smile

Interested!

Off the Mini wheels then?
