MonkeyNuggets Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 (edited) Hello to all! My name's Hanna, and I've recently bought a 1.4 16V Fresco Green Lupo - 52 plate, with 32k on the clock. It's my second car, and considering I used to own a snail (Ford Ka) before this, I'm finding it pretty nippy! So here it is.It's completely standard at the moment, but hopefully not for long as I now have these.I'm hoping to get these sprayed in red, bumpers smoothed and the car resprayed.Open to tips and advice Edited March 20, 2012 by MonkeyNuggets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkesybaby Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 (edited) Why on earth would you want to re spray that car lol!!! The colour is beautiful! Seriously think about that please lol !The porsche rims will look badASS on there! Maybe if you sprayed the wheels like a cream color or summat that would look good! But lowered first !Nice car don't "spoil" it lol!EDIT: each to there own though! Edited January 16, 2012 by Hawkesybaby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonkeyNuggets Posted January 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 (edited) It's staying the same colour, but it needs a respray because it's nothing but scratches and dings (Old lady owned it before the dealer apparently). It's being lowered before the wheels go on Edited January 16, 2012 by MonkeyNuggets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koop Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Off to a fine start with the wheel selection there! Looks a very tidy loop, scratches & dings notwithstanding Welcome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver! Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 Lovely car. Nice colour and I love the OE SE wheels. All this car needs is lowered, paint correction and maybe a bit of debadging.Teledials are so overdone, I think it would look better lowered over the SE wheels; maybe a bit of spacing.Do you have the bag that matches the interior?

MonkeyNuggets Posted January 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 I love the Teledials Knew I wanted them even before I bought the car.What I'm hoping to do is lower it as it is for now. Then in Summer put the Teledials on. Hopefully I will have had them sprayed by then.Bag that matches the interior? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver! Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 Yes, the SE has, or should have a bag that matches the interior. I have one; used once, PM me if you are interested.Pic's from eBay.Quite large, as bags go, as it fits the boot exactly.R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonkeyNuggets Posted January 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 (edited) I'm a bit of a newbie when it comes to cars. Never heard of a bag to match! Didn't even know mine was an SE either. Been looking it up since you mentioned it Edited January 18, 2012 by MonkeyNuggets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_273 Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 Cool colour, we have had one for the last 6 years and still get people commenting on it!I would look into professional detailing/correction before getting a respray if I were you, it could save you a lot of time and money! Paintwork looks ok from the (slightly blurry) photos at least. And don't rush into colour coding the bumpers either; the black breaks the colour up nicely IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koop Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 Saw an identical loop with a young lady driving yesterday you weren't in crewe were you? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonkeyNuggets Posted January 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 (edited) Naaaaar, was at home. Tere's a girl down the road who's got an identical loop - minus the naked lady Unit-13 sticker haha. Other than her, I'd never seen this colour before....

MonkeyNuggets Posted January 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 Unfortunately, I didn't get any paper work with the car - other than the past MOT certificates, registration documents etc :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupo1.0se Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 Oh right, i thought i fill you in thenOrignally the se's came with came with carpets mats, boot bag.Although there wern't that many optional extras for it though reading the brocheur, but i recon that soem dealers would of had some fitted on afterwards (eg, i did se with the electric windows fitted after the manual ones where fitted and a bung put in place to not show the hole.)

MonkeyNuggets Posted January 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 (edited) I know about the bag and extras etc - it's just the car didn't come with any.
