Think its about time I got one of these started... Bought the lupo a good few months back for £1520 after my MG ZR MKII got written off by six drunk kids crammed into a corsa. Its a black sport with almost 130,000 miles on the clock!! This is how it was when I first got it.. So it was already modified with 13" Smoor Roadster alloys, coilovers, K&N induction kit, smoothed bonnet and boot, badgeless grill, suede roof lining and door handles, and few stickers here and there. Had a great drive home for Perth to Dundee Only recently have I managed to get to doing my own mods, got rid of the suede door handles as they were falling apart and hanging off, had a wee go at wrapping them in leather which turned out well. Also wrapped the dials in leather as that too had been wrapped in suede which had seen better days. So a few mysteries have been found and a few surprises too! This little socked thing has been drilled into my dash and I have no idea what it is, and it turned out to not be attached to anything either. Also seems it used to have an aftermarket security system of some sort. While driving, a bunch of wires fell down from under the dash on the passenger side. And a little LED has been drilled just above the gear stick. But I did find a nice little surprise when respraying the interior door handles, the sound system has been upgraded to Alpine Type E's So now with the good weather starting to come in I've got a lot of plans set out, first of all the get the badly corroded wheels professionally refurbished and changed to a nice blood red, and get rid of the DTM mirrors and try and get my hands on a pair of stubby mirrors. Lots more to do but I'll leave it at that just now. Chris.

Past it on the Broughty Ferry Road, nice looking blue GTI with gold wheels. I was in the black Lupo Sport going in the opposite direction.

Passsed by it today on my way to get mines MOT'd which it unsurprisingly failed! Looking proper low and loving the wheels!
