Lermy Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 (edited) hey all, picked up my 1st lupo the other day, its a 2005 1.4 sport with open air roof, 25k on the clock payed £3750 for it, And i love it so much fun to drive and is a pretty nippy car alot better compared to the corsa c i used to have.anyway a few pics of it and plans for the futurede-badged the boot yesterdayi know it needs lowering alot and will be ordering coilovers this weekplans will be. tidy up the bodywork get a few parking dings sorted and scratches followed by a complete machine polish (im very fussy when it comes to bodywork and paint lol).coilovers.tint front lights and indicators. spray some interior bits the same colour as the car. fit standard grill and spray the badge black with cream insert and rear badge cream along with engine cover. headunit and tidy intstall with either drink holders in boot or a mini fridge (for cans of monster rockstar etc for when im skating). new backbox (a nice shiny one). set of new wheels for the summer. smooth front number plate recess. pressed platesthats all i can think of for now, so let me know what you thinkcheers Lermy Edited July 8, 2013 by Lermy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcusgrant Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 very rare colour along with it being very rare to have an open air with a sport......probably only a couple in the country with this colour/roof combo i would of thought. I'm jelaous! would love an open air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lermy Posted December 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 (edited) right the coilovers are on but the rear shocks are wrong just been made to fit am trying to get hold of the correct ones so i can go lower but atm this is as low as i can go without having stupid amounts of rake lol, its quite handy though with this weather as im not hitting huge lumps of ice in the roadstill have 30mm on the front to wind down and when i get correct rear shocks adjusters will be coming outpainted my rear badge bit of colour but its subtle and has satin finishde-wiper is next on list i have my gromit just got to get round to doing it Edited December 4, 2010 by Lermy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
