Recommended Posts

Hey there,

I have already posted on New Members but I thought I would add my piece to here smile.gif

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 wink.gif

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 exhaust

Let me know on your opinions.

I'm really looking for ideas on alloys.

Any suggestions?

Cheers

Awesome! Im not your boyfriend :P

Plans sound good, 'bad boy' bonnet imo is a big no no.

Looks a pretty mint base, 1 of 11 in the country to (being a white sport)

Any more pics? inside etc?

Your not that far away from us,

Rich.

Welcome :D

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 :P

I'd say get the scmidts but littlerich already has them on his white sport so it's gunna look exactly the same lmao

they are beautiful though ^_^

nice plans but at 17 insuring a sport + them mods isn't going to be cheap :o

I was 18 and paying over 1k standard yet I have willy

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 :D

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 - 150

It was a private buy.

But the guy I got it from lived in a massive house,

He had 2 ferraris on the drive and was building a rally car in his garage.

He said he bought the car a year ago for his now ex-girlfriend. :o

Its an 04 plate :)

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... :blink:

so bloody nice!

was looking for a white sport for ages, i knew they were rare so i kinda gave up after a while lol. i went for a gti instead.

lucky lass!

there are alot of different wheels that'l look nice against the white. just go for what you like though.

i think a set of teledials in black would look ace :)

I looked through so many Lupo Sports and struggled to find one with decent milage - let alone white and low milage!

She truely is a gem.

I am defo going to go for some black alloys but I think I'm looking for something with a bit of dish :)

Mine and the boyfriends :)

Gotta love the 1.4 sports
