Max7 Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 Picked up a lupo as my first car a few months ago Thought I'd start a thread now things are starting to change.How it looked when I got it...plans are to make it as nice as I can within a pretty small budget, so far this has been simple like spraying badges black, debadging the back, removing trims and spraying the rusty steelies black, new head unit, bee sting aerial and just keeping it looking clean...how it looks nowloads more to come.. debadge front, new wheels and loooows all under a budget, comments welcomeMax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koop Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 Looking good, I'm on a similar budget modding mission with my S - need a standard grille to customise so give me a shout when you get your debadged grille if you wanna make a few quid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might give you a shout on that one, I'm not sure if I'll be keeping it to take it back to standard when I sell it in the future though.I'll add this in too, got the sub and the amp for £40 off a mate just havent got round to making a box and wiring it up :/(spot the keys...)

Max7 Posted November 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 black bonnet looks pretty good actually lolReally? I was worried it was a bit saxo/corsa like...the only way it'll stay is if it's matt black and the roof is matt black but I'm not keen on that either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koop Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 I was worried it was a bit saxo/corsa like...Hmm yeah good point haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James827 Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 na i think you should keep it black, it looks different and looks really good with the the black wheels and side strips. + my lupo is pretty much standard apart from a few cheap things.
