Amber_Nunny Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 (edited) Hey there,I have already posted on New Members but I thought I would add my piece to here I bought my first car 2 days ago and it is a Lupo Sport in White.She truely is a beauty.And her name is Alva (meaning White Lady). I know it's sad to name a car but I don't care I'm 16 so can't drive yet but I hope that during the next year I can get some of the simple mods done.And then when I hit the road, she will truely stand out.It's currently standard but I have a few ideas of where to start off.I'm hoping to::- Spray the badges- Get some lush alloys - any ideas anyone?- Vinyl roof- Lower- New exhaustLet me know on your opinions.I'm really looking for ideas on alloys.Any suggestions?CheersAmber Edited March 8, 2015 by Amber_Nunny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcusgrant Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 Welcome saw this on pistonheads, very nice! someone got some figures recently and there are only 11 white sports in the country! so quite rare.Rich on here has a white sport with modernlines so a different choice of wheels would be good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amber_Nunny Posted July 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 (edited) I didn't think people would be keen on the badboy bonnet.And I wasn't too sure either - hence the question mark.But I promise, I won't do it As for the Schmidt alloys - damn you Rich!They are amazing.Has anyone got any other ideas?I ran a quote through before I bought the car and standard it was £2000 fully comp, on my own.But I didn't really bother looking around for a cheaper quote, I just wanted to make sure I could get insured I will take some pictures of the inside when the rain has stopped It's just standard though.I'm hoping to get bucket seats but the inside will have to wait for a while.I know she was a good find, thats why I travelled a total of 260 miles to get her.Well worth it though beings as white sports are so rare And with the low miles (38000) - I'm really impressed.Does anyone have any idea where to get a vinyl for the roof done?Google is proving to be a disaster for searching.Amber Edited July 26, 2010 by Amber_Nunny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little rich Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 (edited) Where did you buy her from then?Vinyl wise there are loads of places around the country, i know of a few places in northampton, im sure there will be one in warwickshire, id expect a quote around 120 - 150Rich.

mike89 Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 please please do not put a checkered roof, or bad boy bonnet!.....infact, sell it to me Gorgeous car btw, health to drive. modernlines do look good, but th lines look better mikey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amber_Nunny Posted July 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 (edited) Sorry - but I so want a checkered roof.Only vinyl though so I can always take it off, so it won't ruin the car But I decided against bad boy bonnet And no...my car I like the Keskin Tuning - KT1 Klassik 16" but I don't know if they will be a bit too big and I won't be able to lower with them on.Those th lines are not my style...
