babymerc Posted February 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 Thanks for the replies. We're from N.Wales (but speak perfik English) Pedal box.........Hmmmmmm, did notice a little free movement when operating the clutch pedal but just put it down to a badly replaced cable............obviously need to know more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treblet Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 If the clutch pedal hasn't dropped lower than the brake pedal yet then you haven't got anything to worry about at the moment... I'd keep a close eye on it thoughHope she enjoys her new Lupo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babymerc Posted February 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 (edited) Picked up daughter's car today and I must admit it is a lovely little car. Unfortunately the weather is stopping her using it at the mo (especially after just passing her test), but she is having fun loading the 6 cd changer with her favourite cds as I speak (didn't know we had this until we got it home). Thought we'd give her the first tankful of petrol on us (plus the assistance with buying it!) so she's chomping at the bit and ready to go! Will post some pics when the weather picks up.

babymerc Posted February 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 Probably stay as standard, but she has bought an air freshener and some "P" plates!Looking at the gallery, they do lend themselves to modifications rather well.

treblet Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 Go on... you know you want to convince her to put coilovers and a decent set of wheels on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Green Giant Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 Probably stay as standard, but she has bought an air freshener and some "P" plates!Looking at the gallery, they do lend themselves to modifications rather well. haha, uh oh! haha she has the modding bug! hahaso where are these pictures??? even with a decent suspension drop, it improves the awful ride of a standard lupo as well as making it look a million times better! get some coilovers! £200 well spent in my opinion!
