imaparana Posted February 5, 2015 Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 Hi There thought id best start a thread on here as ive had him about 3 months now.I found the lupo on facebook for sale and being one of only five over here in jersey quickly snapped it up.Hes tornado red, 2004 with only 49k on the clock. Absolutely standard when i got him apart from some pretty badly curbed Bathurst wheels (didnt come out the factory curbed haha)Heres some picsThen hears one from my first sunny day with the gtiThen painted the badge and wheels BLACKThen unfortunately he had a run in with a fiesta while parked at college This led to a new light, wing and bonnet respray ;0also got door and boot redone as the same time so pretty much mint now apart from the dreaded spoiler. Heres my other car for anyone interestedTaking the lupo away tomorrow to the alps Then for a few laps of the NurburgringModding will start when im back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
