Yeah I'm going to paint it black I think, but don't want the mechanics to scratch it so I'm unsure....

Might just go for it ha..

oooooooo cap looks awesome!!! Ive been wanting to get a cap from a lupo as theyre black rather then blue, and look so much better. spraying it would be easier, but im worried that a lot of the time that ive seen sprayed caps that look rubbish....
but yours looks amazing!

gutted about the boot :( that really sucks!

The boot repair begins ha!

I took the cracked areas back to bare metal to make sure it didn't crack once I have finished and if I shut the boot lol!

So il rub that down tomorrow, epoxy seal the edges and prime after the epoxy is rubbed down. And my mate at work bought me these for my birthday, I will only use the front on my plate hider as opposed to the American one.

Iv put a claim in for parcel force to deal with, so hope they can do something but there's alot of crap to go with it like keeping the packaging and pictures of where the damage is etc.... Picure of it before posting and that. Iv got them but most ppl wouldn't have. Nightmare dealing with the bloke aswell, he's just like you deal with it all it's your problem so a complaint was made to eBay and negative feed back was left on eBay aswell...!
