kitkat27 Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 So I've had my car since September... I'm still a learner but should be passed soon....Anyways I've been on here for a few months now and think it's about time i put some pics of my car up...It's a wee Jazz Blue Lupo 1.4 Petrol, 02 plate... so not yet 10 years old yet. One owner since new which wa my aunt so its a hand me down and a better first car than i ever thought i'd have...I call it Loopy or the Slug (number plate anagram) and also Lewis Hamilton because my friends was called the Shoe... aka Sheumacker so yeah call me weird... but oh yeah pics!!!I've blanked out the plate... just coz i can... this is it the day i got it...Milage when i got it... well after the first driveMy uncle had ordered new visors coz the mirrors in the ones i've got are smashed, unfortunately they don't fit lupo's... they're the wrong code... :/They sumhow managed to lose the jack... so my dad bought me another one.... and i got a free tow with it... now i have 3!! i only need one right?With the mandatory 'L' plate stuck on (this is an edit)My Pride and Joy... (also an edit)In the Snow...Trying to tell me that he reallly wants to go out in the snow pleeeease....My Dad... borrowed my car to go get a new tyre for his car...He muckied up my boot!!! and all the plastic trim! Nae happy!Dad with his head in the bonnet... just brought it bck after taking it to get the gears looked at (they're stiff again) then the EMC light and the catalyst lights came on... its now away to the Gearbox specialists for them to look at it... won't get it bck for like a week tho... :/Anyways... here's some pics... I don't think i'll be doing much to it tbh... i have a tight budget and i doubt my parents would approve... :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koop Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Have a look round the member's cars there's plenty of subtle mods you can do & keep an OEM look Or you can always just concentrate on cleaning & polishing & restore him to his former glory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coz its actual annoying!If there is clearly a cut wire, re join it, it that doesn't work or you see no wires to rejoin, swap the yellow and red power wires going to the stereo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
