LUIGI Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 hi my names conor, been on here for a while had my lupo just over a month but never got round to a ride thread so thought i would do it now.i live in ireland but i am scottish, got my lupo after seeing one in renfrew, dont know if he is on here :s anyways i have waited the last month to get my tax book and being in ireland everythng moves at a very slow pace.anyway after gettin my tax book today i will be on the road later tonight! i am only 18 so insurance and all that has liturally emptied my bank after i bought it ^^^this is luigi, named after mario and luigi, i think named because of the colour.i have a load of ideas but not sure on anythning yet.i am an art and design student so my car may look a bit mad to some but thats what art is all about ..before anyone says it i want to go low! funds permitting i would like to banded steels aswell, they can wait till its low though, want to do some sticker bombing also because i also make vinyl stickers.all comments and suggestions welcome this may take some time to get luigi perfect ......looks like a tank on them wheels and tires i got rid of them ...didnt like them so then got set of 13'' polo (96) steels pics soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lermy Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 looks good just cut the bits in between the badges out so you can see the VW sign, would look better, just use a stanley knife Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkStryder360 Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 Badge looks wicked.Was thinking a better form of sticker bombing it would be to, although would take alot of time, have all pictures retro gaming characters, or Nintendo characters, seeing as it is the Luigi Kart lol! Would be more subtle than random sticker bombing packs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
