marcusgrant Posted December 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 Well i had a bit of a bump with a bmw, his car was fine though. I sold the wheels today. decided i'm going to keep this OEM, but change a few thing and just make it really smart. I've got lots of ideas but not sure on anything yet. Hopefully get all the paint mint and then go from there. Anyone selling any rs's? ....thinking i may be getting ahead of myself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcusgrant Posted December 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 I thought you'd said you crashed it?Looks fine! well it wasnt that bad! wasnt a smashed but more of a bump that broke everything a little bit lol. but i need new bumper, bonnet, headlights, grill, grill surround, 1 indicator (luckily the other one is already new and didnt break), slam pannel and this thin metal thing.so its current stateGOOD not so good just waiting for dad to bring the new WHIP round yo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treblet Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 Could have been a lot worse!You're lucky you don't need new wings, they are a right pain in the ass to line up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcusgrant Posted December 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 Could of been yup!I'll get all the bits and then just hand it over to a body shop.Just got the new car lol... 1998 nissan primera 1.6 SI haha. My insurance has gone up 17 quid a month?! from a modified lupo sport to a sh1ty car, what a joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcusgrant Posted December 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 what an absolute beaut of a motor!!!just checked on parkers and apparently it had 98bph when it was new! its certainly got that second hand car smell inside.Should be a decent car though, my dad has only recently done a full service and MOT on it...just got to tax it tomorrow.feels massive compared to the lupo lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcusgrant Posted December 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 maybe? just thinking while its getting the front sprayed i may as well see about some custom stuff..I dont know whether taking the indicators away from the front takes away some of the character of the lupo? what do people think?? i dont know lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jowey Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 (edited) I think without the indicators is probably closer to the original designers intentions.I mean while you have to get a new front end do you want the 3L part numbers ? Edit: might part with my RS splits. maybe. will probably regret it though Edited December 22, 2010 by Jowey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: might part with my RS splits. maybe. will probably regret it though hmmm i've thought about the 3l but the thing im concerned about is that it wont work with the sport rear? oooo.. well maybe let me know if you do Ideally i'd by some with wider dishes already though.I like that idea! That looks good. Not overly smoothed. Just right!oh it could happen then! I've got too many idea and just one lupo lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
