Recommended Posts

This is my Lupo i purchased a few weeks back and i absolubtly love it!

Mods it already has are:

Personal number plate

6 Speed Gear box.

Full power flow exhaust

CDA induction kit

Flushed boot

Port and polished cylinder head

Tubular exhaust manifold

FK konigsport coilovers

De locked

car background..used to own a fiesta zetec s with my only experience of modding was fitting a cd player and removing the door strips lol so i have a bit to learn but looking forward to it.

The lupo is in a completely different league to the fiesta so far i have failed to drive it without smiling or laughing to myself :)

lovely looking car this mate!!

looks well clean that day i seen it by tescos.

much faster than the zs? lol

yea i gave it a real good clean for the pics there spent 6 hours doing it washed, clayed, polished, waxed plus interior.

haha you spy right.. yeaa it would ruin the zs pulls on my mates 1.7 puma fiesta with mani, exhaust, induction and almost fully stripped :lol:

Looking good. A different tip on the exhaust would tidy it by 100% though :)

Nice work on the door handles, how did you remove them if you don't mind me asking?

thanks the exhaust has since been polished up so looks so mcuh better than in the pic but eventually i would like to get a whole new full system but its not top of my list atm

yea as said below just a flat head there is a grove at the bottom where you push the screw driver it and then just pop them off

Just get some bog standard acrylic UK Spec plates. but go for the clean ones with no GB or Euro sticker on them and no border! I reckon that's the best look for the car!

what did you do to the door handles if you dont mind? mine are the same and need doing asap!

firstly i wet and dry sanded them down to get a good surface for the primer to go spent a good while doing this to get the best results.

applied first coat of primer then sanded this back with a lighter grade of wet and dry.

then a second coat of primer.

i used matt black paint from b&q, 3 light coats of this dryng inbetween then polished them with car polish and a microfiber.

dont know if this is right but it seemed to work for me, im sure people have other ways of doing it but hope it helps ;)
