I think thats me just changing my mind a lot, I'm quite a perfectionist

[Danyutz]

fat ass car

[amckenzie]

Something hella special is on its way...will be so marmite its untrue aha! big update tomorrow too!

[amckenzie]

ok so ive been pretty slack on here latley and some how still just hit 9000 views in 4 months....mad. you're all mad!

Ok where do i start....

Well bernard has hit 99,000 and soon too clock 100,000!!

ok so the fitment on the wheels wasn't that great so out came the 30mm spacers to play and well..the rear fitment is on point!!

there pretty mammoth but they work!

Oh hey there chrome lips. in love with the back end of this car! still need to get some sort of spacer on the front, there tucking a wee bit too much for my liking!

Finally bernard is getting his tracking done before he runs through another set of blummin tires!! but atleast the steering wheel is actually straight now!

So i have something special lined up for Bernard for Edition...well his roof, heres a sneaky peak

Taken me soooo long to draw and raterzie also colour in. hopefully it will look insane!

A very nice little shot by jordan of bernard looking rather shiny and the beads...well ill let you judge them

see you after edition!!

[amckenzie]

As soon as images appear from edition, there will be a nice little update for you crazy cats!

did anyone spot bernard at edition?

[amckenzie]

Ok so ill start off by saying I'm sorry, I've been very slack with the updates and really need to get my head in the game again.

SO ill start with this banger of a shot by the boy Craig Mahoney..

The rear end looking stupidly high in this thats where ill introduces this image... so much hate ill get for this haha!

So i had no time to order and sit around for smaller springs to arrive for edition so, i took action and cut the **** out of my standard spring to drop the rear more in time for the show. Haters will be hating yo!! They wen back to normal coil overs after edition :*

Another little mod i got around to doing before Edition was the grill, the slated grille is so boring, every blummin' lupo has one, so i found a little gem and had to get it... Before and after pictures needed

The bonnet is popped here, so don't sweat. theres the normal, original looking grill... on to the new one...

In my eyes, this looks ten times better and defiantly sticks out from the other lupo front ends....well it certainly will next season, watch this space over winter

I can finally show you guys this.

this is my roof decal from the boys over at WrapExtreme in Hatfield, whom sponsor me and my wacky ideas. Of course its the Low conformist writing, it is my company after all! It took me ages to hand draw the design out and raterzie into a logo fit for a large canvas as the roof. Looks pretty cool, what do you guys think??

A superb image from Harry pitcher, that is actually a lupo owner too! Cheers for the image man!!

https://www.facebook.com/hjpitchers?fref=ts <----- can find more of his work here!!

A blurry but rad rolling shot coming back from edition form the boy Lewis!, I've decided my wheels look like dinner plates when there rolling haha

After having bernard the little sit stain, I brought him on 89,000 miles and clocked 100k a few days after edition, a sad moment. They grow up so fast What sort of mileage are your Loops on?

MOT day was yesterday, that dreaded day, where all modified car owners dred, luckily we all have that one friend who is a MOT tester...

Bt my boy put up a fight and got stuck on the Gas ramp in the middle of the MOT and tok half hour to get him off... Good boy bernard, doing dad proud!!

He went and smashed through the MOT (A legit one) no really a legit one haha!

Well thats all for tonight folks,

I apolisge again for the lack of updates but dont worry, bernard is back.... he will be at the top of the blogs ages,. Pissing you all off with his stupid title...

Alex ouuuuuut

[amckenzie]

Im thinking over winter, i will put the car on Air and also a new front end. A 3L front end...

Any suggestions on these mods?

[jbarrows]

Sounds like a good plan for the winter man, maybe the bottom half of an arosa rear bumper though as they look a bit 'sharper' which would go better with the 3l front

I was thinking about trying to mod a Rear GTI bumper tbh, i know its been done before and it looks nuts

I've done mine in 5 months, too many miles for car parts haha

[mattarosa]

What have you done in 5 months?

[mickster]

11k miles by the sounds of things

[Danyutz]

3L front is a lot of work and i don't like it more than the standard. There's a lot of 3Ls in Romania and I wouldn't change. But some of us like to be different in any way, so whatever pleases you

What's with the check engine light?

[amckenzie]

Yer I've done a lot of miles, really need to chill out and also take bernard in for a long old service!!

Were thinking of taking him to Worthsee next year and hopefully preside Dan to meet us there!!

The £L, knowing me there will be a twist, don thou worry guys

[Danyutz]
