Grizzle Posted February 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 Right just to confirm i havnt died....These past few months have been crapppy!!I wasn't able to walk for weeks due to my knee, which meant i cudn't workThennnn to top it off i got layed off due to no work onSo this means no money to spend on the Lupo Thankfully i got taken back a few weeks ago and my knee is on the mend so its time to get to work again...After months and months of looking i finally got my hands on a decent front indicator surround and a black center console, Thanks to the good lupo lads of HinckleyIve practically finished the front end nowThe upper bumper is all ready in primerAnd i replaced the old cracked indicator panel, still in black for the momentI then got round to flatting down the black indicator panel..And got some primer on that too..So i started on the lower bumperThis is what it looked like when i got it offScraped and batterd fromt the tarmacSo i flatted it all down which was a pain on the lower grill part, so fiddley..Then to add the filler..The finished product all ready for paintIve also fitted this...Its a 5 paddle clutch kit from C&G MotorsportReally recommend these guys i am so happy with it its made a hell of a difference!Here's a few pictures of its current sad state on steelies Just have to make up for it by making the paint shine I also had to put my old 'legal' plates back onI must have been pulled and warmed atleast 10 times for them being illegalDue to them being pressed, german font and the D stamp so i had to take them off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grizzle Posted March 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 Once again its taken me over a month to update my threadHere's a few things ive been up to..Speakers fully **** the bed...Manage to get my hands on these for an utter bargain so i wired them all in..I then got a subtle boot buil off a mate of mine from his lupo Gti...I then removed the 8" jbl and replaced it with a 10" Hifonics Brutus.I also made a larger box which is alot more solid and sealed with no port.And it also matches the paintwork ahaI left a gap either side so i can fix the 2 amps either side on the underneath.Just need to tidy up the amp wireing and find a better place for the Xovers then cover it in acoustic fabric and it will be finished.
