After being a member on Club Lupo for a year and a half now I have never said a word - just looked.

I bought my Lupo almost exactly 2 years ago with around 60k on the clock.

Modding it had always been something that I'd thought about, but were soon forgot about when I realised quite how expensive it would be.

A year and a half went past, and my lupo was still bog standard - apart from a wee ariel which I'd put on.

Finally the day came when I had a spurt of enthusiasm and motivation, and then the obsession begun...

Firstly both front and badges were painted black, along with my "sweet ass" Ripspeed ariel and a bonnet bra from autobra was purchased.

I then ordered some JOM blueline coilovers from Venom motorsports. After waiting nearly 2 months for them to arrive (estimated delivery time 2-3 weeks), I gave up and cancelled the order and went in search for different budget coilies.

I then purchased vinyl black squares from ebay and very carefully stuck them to the roof of my car.

Many hours later it came out like this (good, but not perfect):

So I drove around like this for a while, but my car felt silly. It needed to be lowered.

Christmas soon approached and I gave venom another chance. A month and a bit later my JOM Blueline coilovers arrived! :)

My car went into the gargage and on went my coilovers :

And although I loved my mudflaps they had to go (thanks to my lovely boyf)..the scraping noise wasnt great:

I love how my car looks now, it's now just trying to decide on what wheels, as I'm well aware, my vipers arent particularly cool..

Possibilities include :- Rota Flashbacks

ATS classics

G60s

Ronal Turbos

BBS RAs

Hope ya'll like my wee Rodrigo.
