I like the red wing mirrors on yours too Luke. Tbh I think I'll spend more on styling it than on performance as it's only a 1.0. I can always upgrade to a 1.4 if I'm finding I want something faster.

That's so nice! I like the colour coding, I'm def a fan! My brother wants to keep it black but we'll see. If I get a Sport rear bumper for the central exhaust it'll be colour coded anyway won't it?

Thanks and yeah will look into both of those. Going to have a look at shows and see what parts are about as well. Just really excited to get started!

Yeah the exhaust has been sounding not quite right; it's got a bit of a rattle. But my brother said it's just a long pipe and it's a little loose in the mid-section. I'm not 100% sure what I'm going to do with it yet. I'm planning on getting it looking completely mint so I have a solid basis to work from so just going to be a few little cosmetic details to sort really. Then I'll start properly which I think at the moment is going to be new soundsystem and sub (which I've got, just waiting to fit it), lower it, black and red alloys, colour coded bumpers and door handles, either a centre exhaust or a side exit exhaust and I want to do some kind of traditional tattoo art design on the roof. I might lightly tint the back windows and do something with the wheel arches as well. Then I'll leave any performance modifications completely up to my brother. I'm giving it to him when I go to uni next year as long as I can still use it when I'm at home so it's something we're going to do together.

Started work today with my brother (which basically means I picked up the stuff and then stuck some newspaper on the car ). He rubbed down and sprayed with a primer and then painted the black bit of the door frame on both sides. One side had white paint on it somehow and the other was rubbed and tired looking. Still needs to be rubbed down again and another coat but it's looking better already. Before During After Here's a picture of the main bit of rust And then some general pictures

I'm really enjoying driving it although it's VERY different to the Fiesta I learnt in! I'm not used to not having power steering yet and I seem to be revving it too much when I pull away? Like it seems really noisy. But that's probably just me. That's the only place I'm having trouble really. I stalled it earlier and it was the cutest little stall ever! The Fiesta used to launch me nearly through the windscreen! It's a nippy little thing though. I was worried being a 1.0 I'd find it too slow but it's fine. I'm a little bit in love! Ah that sounds good about the rust. I'll post some pix up at some point and see if you think it's worth getting it sorted.

Picked up my car this morning!! First jobs are getting the little scratches and rubs touched up, getting the black trim touched up, new boot handle, new inside handles and get the sub fitted. Prob do a few cheap cosmetic bits like some dice valve caps then get saving for the main stuff! It's got a tiny bit of rust on the roof which I hadn't noticed but hoping it won't be a huge problem.

Hi Just wondering if you got the side exit fitted? I want one on my 1.0 and wondered how you got on?

Okay seems like Edition is going to be more popular! Yep I'll look out for you all and a meet up sounds good.

Thank you! And yep I'll look out for you

Wow seems to be a lot of Lupo's round here, that's cool. I'll def look out for you all I bought it from a garage in Denford which is like 2 miles from Thrapston where I live. I've had my eye on it for ages but I failed my first test and was just praying it would be there after I passed second time round and it was so meant to be I think I'm torn between Edition 38 and VW Action but Santa Pod is easy to get to for me so I'll prob go there I think. And haha Luke, yes there's still hope! And it's the colour I wanted as well so it's all worked out perfectly! I'm so in love with it!

Hibiscus flowers?? Wow! I def won't miss you! I was thinking of lowering it because they just look better. Not sure how low to go though as it will be my everyday car and I know my brother ran into problems with speed humps etc with his very low Polo. How low do you think? Other than that I'm not sure. I want it louder I know that but think I'm going to have a proper browse at Santa Pod in September and get a few ideas. All ideas welcomed though!!

Nah a brother. He used to have a Polo so gone to a few things but he has a Fiesta now so not been going so much. It's handy having him because I have no clue about all the technical stuff! And thanks! So pleased to have passed!

Hi =D Passed my test on Monday and bought my first car, a red V reg Lupo, this morning for £1550! I'm so happy with it, it's such a gorgeous little car. Any ideas for what to do with it now though?? It's completely standard and not sure where to start Will probably be bringing it to VW Action at Santa Pod on the 6th as I'm local (Northamptonshire).
