its pretty nice, and schmidts are awesome wheels, but i cant think anything other than its under-wheeled. needs more diameters.

Something about this photo puts me in mind of sci-fis like blade runner and 5th element. (In fact also the original Perfect Dark N64 game). I think it's the contrast of current but dilapidated streets with the futuristic looking vehicle in there.  Very cool little car either way. I think Midland Wheels replicas of these Schmidts are going to start getting popular. ( Link) Shame they don't do them in other PCD's though. (Edit, I'm not saying these are the replicas, they appear to be the real deal.) |

Originally Adam was going to go with 14" Schmidts, which I advised would look ridiculously small. I *think* these are 15s, he hasn't given any specs on his build thread, but going from other modified ups, they need at least 16" wheels in order to look 'right' when dropped. |

Agree on the needs more diameter. Like this one from the Tokyo Auto Salon.  EDIT, now not sure if the wheels are the same size actually?!? |

All I know of the top of my head's that it's a 1.9tdi, on some fairly posh coilovers, 5 stud converted and with an S2 interior I believe. |

This is the same one I saw parked on the beach at the VHRA meet in Pendine a few weeks back , real nice car  As for the Up!s , they seem to be getting more and more popular with modifiers , even more so I reckon once there are plenty of second hand ones out there . |

The Ups do seem to be popular and lend themselves well to working with many wheels. I shall have to get a shot of one near me on Porsche 928S wheels.
