lupo1.0se Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 Your model is SE, exactly the same as mine,According to how many are left they say about 1126 are currently on the road.They only ever came in two colours which is black (mine) or the green you have got.The wheels are Suzuka's which are optional on every other lupo bar the SE.They also should of came with a bag which should match the trim but most where not supplied with the car.Orignally abroad they would have been known as a lupo Cambridge (that's why the rear lights lights are referee to cambridges)Options Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chee09 Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 nicee car mate, good base, can i ask how much u paid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfOfZero Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 Looks nice n new, also love the wheels (Thanks to the above post, they're Suzuka's, I want a set for my Arouser now!).ditch the sub, they're chavvy lol. Build a custom parcel shelf for 6x9's or put some in the boot, side enclosures? Love the colour, what's the actual name of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nellytheelephant Posted September 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 its fresco green metalic i paid 2.5k for it saving up for some new speakers in the front i dont like speakers in the parcel shelf i think looks rough and chavy but thats just my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfOfZero Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 Yeah true, but you could also get creative and make it real stealth and hidden, black suede lined for example and only black speakers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nellytheelephant Posted November 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 silencers fell off so welded in pipe sounds a beast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacky Boy Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Nice looking loop man, literally exactly same as mine. I got mine with 16.5k on the clock at £2,400. I had a couple of problems with stereo as well. They're funny in these. So I just stuck an alpine in it with iPod cable and hands free for phone. I'm tied between sub and 6x9's. Want some speakers in the back and a stubby antenna. Where did you get yours from? As for silencers does it make a real difference? Couple of my mates have done it, straight pipe and silencers off. Considering it now.Jack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
