Amazing how simple mods can tidy up a car. Could you pm the part no's of all 4 badges please. Mine could do with a little update.

Your car is looking good mate. What else do you have in the pipeline?

Was at DC 11.5 today and got some pics of the current award winning lupo (we know the one). This is the standard I am eventually aiming for:

Well had the car almost 2 months and already put 3k on it! Love driving it!

Couple of wee picture updates. New seats are sitting in the garage and should be fitted in the next 2 weeks. Also got a new gear knob en route.

Some pics of it clean (seem to be doing everyone elses atm), with new red stripe and new gaitor:-

Well should update this as its been a couple of months. Been very busy with it!

Bumper and Flap were painted mid October by Kirkton and looking great - no more laquar peel!

Had a blow out :picard:, so two new tyres and a grill later, we are sorted!

Other parts bought include new mats, GTI gear knob, new engine cover, adjustable front camber bolts to prevent the dodgy wear.

Some pics :)

Bay looking 100000x better!

Already contemplating selling it, as I have been offered another 60's Mini that is really tempting me :ninja: so anyone interested let me know :thumbsup:
