JordanVW Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 hi, im jordan.. im new to clublupo...go easy on me please! hahausually go onto swdubs but got pointed this way from a few people..!!picked up my new-ish lupo sport today i got it at pretty good bargain from a dealer who got it under part-ex...theres a few things wrong that need sorting, but should be a fun little project and a nice base car!!!decided to play around with what i had laying around.. debadge before:afterthen i decided i wanted all black badges on the rear, so i took that offbefore:after (f*cked it up and need to do it again) then i was 50/50 about doing the front, took off the grille.decided agaisnt it for now.decided to give the boot lid a quick tcut and wax ..was getting too late to do the whole car.(ino gromet on the rear due to halfrauds being crap and being sold out) going into town tomorrow so i can pick one up hopefully!thats it for now, payday tomorrow!!!! got a few things on order from ebay (pressed plates, stubby aerial, black rear mirror, wind deflectors, light tint kit (thanks ashcroft), new front lights and indicators...possibly some other stuff, but not sure yet).. needs new wing mirrors as the previous gammon crashed into a wall and wrote off the originals and decided to fit M3 ones instead... not sure when ill be able to fit it all as i work fulltime and the nights are getting darker everyday... but updates as i go also, the passenger door wont open? ive had the door card off and i cant seem to locate the reason as to why...the elec window still works and there is leverage on the lock cable but the door wont unlock/ open. does anybody know what this problem is/ know how to fix it?

georgen Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 sometimes the cable from the handle to lock is too tight, you can use a screwdriver to push the lockpart that the little cable attatches to away from handle so cable would go tighter then lock and unlock by button and see if door opens, this happened to me after i fitted new lock and fitted with no slack in little cable if that makes sense.George Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FunkyNutbar Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 Looks good man. Great photos of the process. I was thinking about doing a few of these myself so it really helps. Was is easy enough to get the plastic strips off the exterior doors? That's first on the list for me I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JordanVW Posted November 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 Update:fitted my coilies a few weeks ago i think i got a bit to engrossed in what i was doing and forgot to take progress pics!! oops :silent: anyway, i think ill let the pictures do the talking... the fronts had helpers taken out and wound down pretty much all the way, theres a little bit of rubbing. nothing too serious though, if it starts getting on my nerves ill consider winding a few mm for clearance. not entirely happy with how the rear turned out, i would of liked to go possibly another 10-15mm lower.. hopefully when the shocks and springs settle in (hard as hell atm) the ride will drop down a little bit.also fitted my new pressed plates today weymouth meet tomorrow. if your going, come say hi Next on the list....WHEELS! :crazy: before:during:after:it doesnt look all that great in pictures, it has to been seen in person to appreciate the back is wound down more now... just been slacking and not updating this thread/ taking pics lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H3NRY Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 The thing i have against black on black is the fact it makes the tyres stand out so much...shows the dirt. Otherwise nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
