BenLAST Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 If you're getting rid of that rear bumper, give me a shout, definatly worth a trip up north for that! Love that rear end.As everyone has said, lower grill really needs to be black. Do you know how you've smoothed the indicator panel into the bumper?

xXx-Amy-xXx Posted March 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 Ooo Very nice amy!Like the rear alot (if you do remove it give me a shout)Front is different but i like it, all id do is spray the lower grill black, Think it will work alot better Rich.The rear bumper is very delicate and will need a lot of attention in the passing months... Thankyou or the comment Rich, much appriciated. As fo the front grill... thing can still be changed if I wish them to but I do actually lkeit how it is for now. Maybe change it in time? Thanks again Amy xIf you're getting rid of that rear bumper, give me a shout, definatly worth a trip up north for that! Love that rear end.As everyone has said, lower grill really needs to be black. Do you know how you've smoothed the indicator panel into the bumper?Thanks for the comment... I will more likely be taking the rear bumper of from time to time as it is very delicate. The way the front bumper has been smoothed is up to the body shop. They have done a very good job of this and I would say t was plastic welded, fiberglass and then fllered to give the smooth effect.A lot of people don't like the front end but it was a risk with me, it is a bit different to the normal Lupo everyone has. It is just a car and being used on a day to day basis it will most likly crack! I am taking a risk, Thankyou for your comments and do take them all aboard.Amy x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenLAST Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 The new rear end is far better in my opinion. Keep it, but change the front grill to black Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pro3mark Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 The front almost looks like a Polo 9n.The rear looks good, recess needs to be a little deeper to contain the bottom of the plate IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep it, but change the front grill to black Maybe a photoshop will be in need at this moment in time? I should try and get someone off the forum to sort me out Thanks xThe front almost looks like a Polo 9n.The rear looks good, recess needs to be a little deeper to contain the bottom of the plate IMO.It is not an insult the the Polo... Kinda like a Polo anyways but smaller. I get a lot of people calling it a Polo to me, kinda gets on my nearvos. But I din't even know what a Lupo was before I got one I see what you mean about the numberplate, there is nothing you can do about this at all... I tried to make the plate look as LEGAL as possible, but with it only been 8" x 6" it is kinda nowere near! This bumper to sart with was an original VW Lupo rear bumper and all the body work has been done by MYSELF to creat this. I seen it done as I am not the first to do this, so credit to whome has done this first. I'm no claiming it whatsoever.

I wouldn't want to be pulled over witht some silly excuse I have done the best I can to make the plate look LEGEL including a break light in there. Quick question? Would this pass the MOT?

JoshB&D Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 Quick question? Would this pass the MOT? Maybe the plate size won't but will the ONE numberplate light (although it has no bulb right now )Thanks xooo the seats are lovely!but in asnwer to your question,depends if the one bulb lights up the whole numberplate, my old corsa failed on the fact it had 4 LED's and only 2 workedso it only lit up half the plate and it failed on that.so if it lights up the whole plate you should be cool.
