MissBrown Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 (edited) Hey guys, i have been on here a while but only just figuring out how too use the site. Thought i would share some pictures of my baby girl Lucy the Lupo so far . She was pretty much standard for the 1st year, only recently changed her looks with new wheels n things. 1st thing i did was de-wiper the back window and got some pressed plates lol..... i hated how she drove on standard suspension, i couldnt wait any longer so i lowered her on coilovers pic belowI then sprayed her standard wheels a gun metal grey colour and de-badged the rear and fitted a bonnet braThen upto now i have changed her wheels and took the door strips off.... on a couple of pics u can still see the black foam where i stopped as my finger nails were dead haha.... there all off now but havent taken any more pics yet.Still got some other bits and bobs to do to her, i want a scorpion exhaust,cambridge rear lights, front lights tinting, would like the bumpers smoothing and colour coding and wouldnt mind a re-map just to sort out the throttle response more than anything really. Theres some other nick nacks she needs but all takes time .... shes my baby, my hobby and my little project... i love my 1st car Thank you all for taing the time too view my thread, i no Lucy wont be everyones cuppa tea but shes mine Kelly Edited June 5, 2012 by Kelly1987 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissBrown Posted May 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 I was like that about taking mine off....it just takes a lot of patience and time and it kills your thumb nails lol....mine went ok tbh.... once i got all the foam stuff off i machine polished her to make her spik n span .... just be gentle put some dental floss behind and work it like a sea-saw action and it removes most of it off no paint came off mine (thank god)...... thanks Ryan appreciate your comments ..... shes my baby she always gets polished and HD waxed by the boyfriend so i am lucky there lol .... good luck with your project in the summer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryannj16 Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 fair enough emm how hard was it for you to remove your front badge? and if you dont mind me asking how much did you spend on those gorgeous alloys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissBrown Posted May 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 It was fairly easy tbh just popped off with a little help with a flat head driver its only off on that pic as it was getting sprayed black to match the grill... erm i wish i could say they were real splits but im afraid to say there fakes the alloys no tyres were £340 brand new delivered then i paid £100 to get them painted then bought tyres which were about £140 ish for all 4 new..... i love my wheels searched and searched for ages and finally found these. i wanted staggered and i got them backs have bigger dish than the fronts .... seemed such a shame to take a brand new set of wheels on un marked too get sprayed though but i wanted pinkkk lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissBrown Posted May 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 Space them more I need my arches rolling , doesnt look like she catches sat there cos they seems to be loads of room in the arch but believe me when i have me and a passenger she scubs her little ass off on these not so flat an smooth hull roads.... i would love to lower/space more but i cant for now. Was thinking on having a bit of camber too?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
