thought id post a few pics up of my lupo. its forever chainging so hopefully pleanty of updates.
this is how he stands at the min
lowwered about 60mm lenso bsx wheels and a good clean.
a little bit of chequer detailing dice gear knob and DIY gaiter
oh and a DIY "air freshener"
I currently have a set of vibe speakers and a fli active sub but have planns for a new boot build.
chequer filler cap and tinted tail lights with glitter stars and lightening bolt also debadged the boot and re-badged with fridge magnets.
i also spent a few days giving the engine bay a bit of TLC before:
After:
iv done a bit to the car since but havnt had chance to find / take decent photographs. hope you enjoy the photos all comments and oppinions welcome.

its what i did before i had the sub but then thought you know what i liked them so put them back in. nothing beats the feeling of cleaning your wheels at a show with ppl walking past saying "wow look at his balls" gets me every time. :D:

i do have an idea for one but think it might get my car kicked in. you know the yellow think bike stickers everyone has in the back window. have think poke instead. with a nice bbs rim instead of the pik of the bike? would be an easy photoshop but a brave sticker to have.

thinking about getting a set of alley cats for the loop. if anyone knows of any going cheep shout up looking to spend under £400
had a quick go test fitting the alley cats today. might have a slight problem with poke?
but hopefully after a bit of camber, stretch and lowwering we should be sitting nicely.

finaly the tyres are on, a bit of work to do on the breaks to get the wheels on safe, wobble bolts on the way and spiggot rings in the wheels. almost there.
wrighty .

fingers crossed you don't get the wrong type of attention with those on.... as Wrighty said that's a lot of poke and I've read about people getting charged for less...
nice wheel though had a friend who ran these on his mini...
I think I have about 40mm of poke at the top. but thats with as much camber as my shocks will let me have. hopefully once the coilovers are on and its lowwer i should be able to have a better idea howmuch camber / arch pulling ill need. will post pics of todays adventures.
ok so, had a slightly productive day test fitting the wheels. with the 6mm spacers i still needed to shave a small ammount of the break calipers. also gave them a coat of high temp paint in black.
takes the car slightly closer to the ground. In the hood they call this "lowwering" apparently.
think i have about 30mm of poke so i will be ordering the coilovers asap and some front camber adjustment bolts so i can run with minimal front camber. I will also look into geting the arches pulled out as much as I can without it looking too stupid. but hopefully after all that work i should be able to pull off some killer stance.
