LoopyLing Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 (edited) Sorry i've been using this forum for almost a year and not introduced myself. Here's 'our' motors!The Wife's had hers since May last year and it's been fun. It's a 1.4 75bhp 'S' in Fantasia Green (obviously). It's got a Longlife Cat-Back system on it which annoys her a bit but i think it sounds cool. Had a few problems with the car, but they've been sorted and it's now spot on. border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="" />I got mine last weekend: It's a 1.4 E but with electric windows and pop-out rears!? It's yellow, but i'm not sure of the exact colour. I got it to cart me to uni and back every day. Planning on a 60 or 40 mm drop and maybe some alloys (depending on how much my uni loan is!), definately going to rip the rub strips off though! border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="" />Si.

Petrified Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 They look fantastic, two of the more bolder (better) colours!I would have thought a 1.4 e with electric windows and pop out windows was a 1.4 s? does it also have central locking?I those carpet plug things for you too, I'll keep them in the car, bound to see you around.. I can chuck them through the window style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoopyLing Posted September 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 Wanted to be able to find it in car parks as easily as we can find The wifes!Mine's an E, says so on paper work somewhere.. All mine is lacking is colour coding and the jump forward seats.. It even has central locking... style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" /> Cheers for the mat things i'll boot the wife into action sometime soon as she works in your area style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />Si.

Jonny Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 They look good. People used to take the mick out of my fantasia green sport but I still think it suits the car very well. Nice to see you are considering spending your student loan on something useful! I spent mine on my car/ bike/ booze instead of rent. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nfbr Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 weird rear bench seat with three headrests, I've never seen another Lupo with three rear headrests.Rich3 rear seats was an option throughout all years on the E, and S models...hardly anyone opted for this option as the third seat was practically useless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loopy_lass Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 very funky, the best colours, well yellow is the best of course style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picola Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 At first I didnt like the fantasia green at all, but it really has grown on me. The two colours really make the Lupo look like a fun car to own and have. (I miss my strange green golf, for its colour. I feel boring now with a silver car)Get a few pics of them together, like in your sig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_273 Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 Nice to see someone else with two Lupo's on their drive. I think they look a bit lost sometimes when they're on their own style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> .I like the bright colours too style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> .

cardaft Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 (edited) Looking good, great colour combo there style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shades:" border="0" alt="shades.gif" /> Ive got the aero type wiper on my Arosa, i couldnt get mine to fit though and had to trim it down, only just noticed that the arosa and lupos have different bootlids and rear windows - the aosa window wraps round the bootlid where as the lupos has metal, it also must be smaller glass if i had to trim my wiper down, might be the reason style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> Chris Edited September 22, 2006 by cardaft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoopyLing Posted September 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 The wiper goes round so quick i couldn't tell if it was going over the top of the glass, onto the bodywork. I think it might as it's slightly longer than the original arm / blade combo... How do you trim them, do you pop the little end cap off and stanley blade it then replace cap??CheersSi.

How do you trim them, do you pop the little end cap off and stanley blade it then replace cap??CheersSi.The best thing to do is to work the wiper and turn off the key and try to get the wiper to stop at the top of the screen then look and see if its overlapping.I know when i fitted my wiper i mentioned that i needed to trim it when other people havent needed to so you might be ok.Yeah i took the cap of the end and cut the rubber and the plactic parts then filed new slots for the cap to sit into.Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoopyLing Posted September 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 Cheers dude. It's spot on as it is! How weird.

We sprayed the front grille metallic black, and added some black tinted headlights. really transformed the front of the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
