My Black 2002 Lupo GTI... Bought as standard. Has been looking on and off for a while for one, idealy a silver one. never saved for long enough to buy one. Then this came along, and the guy needed a quick sale. So I have myself a Lupo. Kept it standard for quite a while, but couldn't resist a few mods. Didn't want to spoil it, so decided on an OEM+ theme, small mods that only a few will notice. The car previously belonged to Club Lupo members... Presty and pistolpete69.

Well not really, gonna keep trying today! In some lights it's not too bad but in others it's disgusting so if I can't get rid of the fade in the next few days, my plan is to keep the nice shape of the body by leaving the bump strips off but adding some kind of stripe/decal. Never been a lover of stripes but I do prefer them to bump strips or paint fade (: haha

yeh i uses the sticky stuff remover for the black stuff! worked well, better if it's warm tbh (use a hairdryer), spray it on and leave it a good 10-20 minutes to work in then just use an old microfibre or something to really rub away at it, when you're taking the other one off best thing to do it get some fishing wire or similar, sticky stuff remover & hair dryer and heat it up whilst the sticky stuff remover has been sprayed down the back of the strip its self, then use the wire pulling it along the car and the strip will just fall off, use it in a back & forth motion, make sure not to have it too near the cars paintwork though, pull along & out if that makes sense? nice one buddy! you'll notice a huge difference as soon as it's done!
