Yep.

Damn, guess that does rule out LED's then

'Tis a shame really, the LED's would look cool as fog lights.

I've also been playing around with my new TomTom. I've put the speed camera database from pocketgpsworld on it, and it works flawlessly. A pretty good bargain, I think. A Â£50 TomTom and a Â£19 subscription for camera updates

Nice

I managed to get Speed Cameras on there for free, as well as a load more voices and European Mapping another time.

My dad's mate sorts it out for me.

Another update folks.

I'm getting some tyres put onto the Lupo steelies tomorrow. They should be on some time next week, hopefully. I'm looking forward to the change, and of course I'll get some pictures.

I've got my painting gear sorted for spraying the mirror cap. I'll be starting it tomorrow.

Strangely, 2 people have come in to my Dad's shop and asked about buying my wheels. I'm not sure whether this is a good thing or not. It's nice to have some interest in my car though. My Dad offered one guy Â£800 for them

Ollie what exhaust do you have on your polo?

the pipe leading into my backbox has rusted and broken and iam not sure whether i should replace it with an OEM backbox or something aftermarket?

It's a Remus one, mate. It's not too loud, and sounds nice in the low rev range. Overall, it makes the car sound nicer, than the usual 1.0L milkfloat/whizzing noise

I've been painting today. It's been a learning curve, but I'm slowly getting the hand of it. The spray gun is a lot better than an aerosol. I'm waiting for the current coat to dry, then I'll give it a little rubdown with some wet & dry.

Also, some Vredestein Snowtrac II's are going to be put on the lupo steelies soonish. Nice 65 profile ones, too

Ollie_R · Post by **Ollie_R** » Sun Nov 26, 2006 5:12 pm

I got it from Elite Direct in Essex. I got it on trade prices, though. I'm not too sure on the exact price, but it should be around Â£180.

As the last leaves fall from the trees, my car becomes prepared for the winter season.

The car feels more fun to drive, and is much more comfortable now.

Steels are the future for winter stealth mode

No wonder your car feels more comfortable, those tyres are huge compared to the 40-profile tyres you have on the BBS
