Hello :)

Thought id start a little progress thread of my Lupo:

I had a Lupo Gti a year or so ago and sold it to get an Audi TT, missed the lupoand im not overly fussed about having a "fast car" so found my self this little lupo. Got it at a steal and have lots of plans for it :)and will save me money on insurance fuel and running costs!! TT is for sale now if anyone's interested.

When I got the car:

Lovely Lupo you got there! Really like the colour too :thumbsup:

Looking forward to seeing the updates dude.

Thanks man. yeah will post up as much as I can. quite a bit I want to do. want it very clean and subtle.

Love this, looks clean. How are the rear headrests sitting so low?

cheers :D polishes up really well, has a few dents etc but should be gone very soon!!

head rests I removed and cut about 2 inches off the bottom of the rods with a junior hack saw.

Lupo is looking spot on, glad you got a clean one.

Just a word of advice if you are not already using it, get some 'Trim Fix' adhesive off ebay it's a high temp adhesive to do your door cards as most adhesives will give when the weather heats up..

Looking forward to progress.

yeah its not bad :) got a lad coming to remove a few dents soon and then guna book in to get some spray to tidy it up.

I just used normal carpet adhesive for my roof liner without researching so have ordered 2 cans of trimfix like you say (its at post office to collect well reminded lol) guna redo my roof as ended up being abit tatty towards the front of the car near the mirror.
