herisites 0 Posted September 25, 2006 Hell yeah, these are PROPER wipers! They fit so tightly to the screen, in the words of Jeremy Clarkson "if they had only spent an extra 50p" on the wipers in the first place :lol: Rob. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phil K 0 Posted September 29, 2006 herisites, looking at the top pic of your lupo wipers - I have the blades on the other way round so the blade with the off center mounting is on the drivers side - tbh I think it looks a bit more stock but thats just my opinion of course ;) Car is looking very sweet btw - don't think I'd change a thing 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
herisites 0 Posted September 29, 2006 :lol: i have changed the wipers round now as i also noticed they were the wrong way round! Im actually glad it rained today (apart from my car is now dirty after just polishing it!) because the wipers were fooking ace!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bendy 0 Posted September 29, 2006 Ahhhhhhhhh simple pleasures with the wipers hey rob!! and i said they looked to close together when you popped over!!! still looking good tho!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

herisites 0 Posted October 29, 2006 Ok so time for an update on my gallery as i havent done anything for a while. I bought my new rims last week which are Brock B2's 9x16's which i got off of Bendy who is a legend for holding them for me for months and i mean months :shock: :lol: So anyway only 2 of them had tyres on which were the back ones so i thought i would see how they look on the car and they look awesome i cant wait to get some tyres on them all and get them on!!! I was worried that my car would look like a buggy as its only dropped 40mm but i dont think it looks that bad and the fronts (when on) should look better as its lower at the front! Also today i had some free time (i.e. girlfriend went out :lol:) and it was a cracking day for nearly november so i thought i would have a go at detailing my car with the new microfibre cloths i got off of Riley at Volksdevil.com who by the way is a legend as well, really good service and the cloths are absolutely amazing!! This is what i done: - Rinsed the car first to wash off any fine dirt and dust - Washed the car with Autoglym Shampoo (went over a few times) and rinsed it off as well cleaning the wheels and tyres. - Then i used my new microfibre drying cloth to dry it and compared to chamois's these things are amazing the car was completely streak free. - Then i used Megs step 1 paint cleaner all over and washed it again after. - Then i used megs step 2 deep shine polish on the whole car using my new microfibre polishing cloth and again was amazed at how well it came up with these cloths they are so soft and work so well. - Then i cleaned the windows with ordinary window cleaner using my new microfibre glass cloth which is awesome on glass, no streaks whatsoever!! - Then finished it off with a Megs step 3 wax. I took some pictures just after drying the car to show how nice it looked, then finally took some after the polish including some of the mirror shine!! Anyway enough blabbering here are some pics :D Rob. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

herisites 0 Posted October 29, 2006 Think you should lower your rears another notch though ;) I cant as i dont have coilovers just spring and shocks mate. Thats why i said i was worried it may look silly but i think it looks ok and although it would look better slammed my budget cant really stretch to coilovers at the moment so they will be staying as it is (but with the fronts on as well :lol:) Rob.
