bulldog Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 I was a bit board so thought i would start a progress thread on laurens car. This is a couple of pic`s from the first day when we got the car.Lauren loves this car so will probably end up undergoing quite a few changes in the time she`s got it. Will post any changes as and when they happen on here.I know its a lupo forum but thought i would post up a few pics of my toys aswell.The old workhorse my vivaro (with 20" rims lol)My 07 R6My 58 gsxr 1000 k8 (182bhp at the rear wheel lol)and the rearKtm 250 sx 2 stroke (08)Kawasaki kxf 250 4 stroke (09)And hence the user name I think thats every thing.lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bulldog Posted November 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 Well laurens had the car 3 weeks now so started changing little bits. Tonight we got the stripe removed to give the car a cleaner look and fitted the new wheels. Starting to look a little better now (we think anyway`s lol).

bulldog Posted November 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 Thank You for the kind comments Im really pleased with how she (LuLu) is going The Door Cards - I mixed up some Fairy Non-Bio washing powder with hot water, used a towel/face cloth dampened with the mix, and rubbed Vanish Pre Wash Stain Bar on the cloth and used quite a bit of elbow grease! Dont get the cloth too damp, wring it out as much as you can and be really careful arround the window switches! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bulldog Posted November 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 Thanks very much mate. I think the front needs to come down just a tad but dreading it to be honest because they look siezed pretty bad. I will just give it a go and see what there like if i cant move them i suppose it`l after stay as it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mort Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 Lovely lovely bikes mate! loving that KTM, I had a KXF 450 08 lovely lovely bike I want another one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog Posted November 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 The ktm is a bit of a beast to be honest mate probs a bit to much. Nice bike though with all the extra`s brembo, wp etc. The kxf is a lot nicer bike to ride whether it be a 250 or 450. The ktm just try`s to eject you at every chance it gets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leddy Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 I miss the lupo!!I was never a fan of it on the white rims to be honest. Heres a pic from my time, I sold it 2 and a half years ago. cant believe I have been lupoless for so long to be honest.Now i drive a Honda Civic diesel to cope with my 100 mile commute!Im loving its current look though! if you ever want to sell drop me a line. Could easily be tempted to buy it back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just got some spacers cheap so gunna give them a go see what it looks like. I will post some more pics up when ive got them on tommorow. I will certanlly let you know first if/when lauren decieds she wants a change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bulldog Posted November 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 Not sure if i know the Type R.Just wondering as a GTi went past me the other night near Flimby and it was quite loud and there's only 1 other GTi in Whitehaven/Workington area and that's completely standard. Just thought it was maybe you.Yeah that will probably of been my wife. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
