No probs mate, we thought we had upset you!, only joking, I'm sure we will have more things to invite you to.
Glad the car is coming along and should be a refined animal when its finished.
See you at Umairs meet in April if the cars done.

Thankyou for your kind words,
The Lupo conversion was done my by my fair self, and cost me a mind blowing £46 for the lights and I just used some fibreglass, filler and sealant.
The bodywork and paint was done by a local firm in Eastbourne called A J Crompton.
Not sure on the price as it was done on the insurance, but I have asked previously and it was a good price.
I did wait a long time for it and I had to take it back to him or a couple of small issues, but I am really happy and will use him again if needed.

I think the lupos suit blue cars or darker colours in general. I am biased though as l have them fitted, they look great when fitted correctly which not many places can do. Heath at x works, willow who don't fit them anymore and Steve edwards. By doing them yourself you can take your time and get it right. What's the old addange, measure twice cut once

I have a couple more pics taken at the same time..

Just had a look at your Griff.. that is stunning too!! Impressive list of work done!

Cheers for the pics, she looks absolutely mint... great to see a wedge in such good condition as many are looking a bit tired now. Look after her

I once heard a carpenter say "I have a sign above the door that says, I have cut it twice and it still doesn't fit".

Not one of your best photos Yoichi. I really don't like this latest fashion for using a very shallow depth of field. It makes the car look like a 1:80 model.

That made me chuckle. " As long as its too big, you can remove material off, but get too hasty and remove too much, your screwed!!

Is it? I'll have to read up about it. I've seen it done in lots of car pictures on Pistonheads over the last year so I assumed it's a new fashion.

It's called Tilt Shift photography and produces pictures that appear like miniature models.

Go on with you, that's your train set.

Quite funny - tilt shift is used to make models/dioramas look real, and real objects look like models!

This is all turning into a scene from the borrowers, albeit in slightly faster machines.

I wonder what he could do with Jordan....she's a model that sometimes looks almost real...
