kitkat27 Posted May 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 Went out the other day and washed it again... and took more pics... Just coz i can, was trying to see if i could get some of the plastic trim (?) and stuff off so i could spray it blue or somthing, but i couldn't work it out...With my other set of Wheels (Specialized Myka Sport Disc)Took the plastic bits off the top (and put them back on again)Lights outBoth Lights out...Looked pretty cool ( sorry bout the shadows, forgot to move it before i took pics)after this i proceeded to lock my little brother in the boot (he was being annoying)A better shot of my 'modification'Some other wee shots when i was mucking around with the focus (ignore the rubbish lying around)So yeah not actually doing much to the car atm (am skint, to say the least) but its still drivable and thats all that matters right?

kitkat27 Posted May 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 (edited) Not been having much luck wi the car lately...Last week (i think it was last week?) yeah last wednesday i got a nail in my tyre...Then my dad took it out and told me the clutch is going (finally after 3 years) so its booked in for this friday, should get it bck for the tues... (gonna make me skint but hey ho)Then today.... well... i... erm crashed it...Don't ask how i managed it coz i don't really know.... had to phone my dad to come and move it coz i was too scared i was gonna make it worse...What it looks like now ( with no t-cut before anyone asks)So yeah i think i came off kinda lucky, and the other guy hasn't phoned yet so double yeah (touch wood)All i realy have damage wise is:A dink out the mirrorA scrape along the door and bump stripsA scrape on the rear archAnd my rear bump strips hanging off slightly...Starting to think the other guy maybe came off worse...But anyways, gonna be t-cutting it soon, maybe even wi 'blue cut' but we'll see...

kitkat27 Posted May 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 So managed to sort most of the scrapes and bumps on my car before it went into the garage on friday, he's getting a new clutch, was meant to get it back today for college tomorrow, but i doubt i'm gonna get it now... Total missing the wee dude right now... I WANT MY CAR BACK!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kitkat27 Posted June 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 Sooo I finally got my car back! Along with a MASSIVE box of Thorntons chocs for all the hastle...(also discovered i can actually fit my bike in the back, which is good)In the end up... after it went in for a new clutch... its never actually got one... Somehow in the last 8 months i've managed to put a crack in the pedal box... so i put it in on the friday, he didn't start taking all the dash and stuff out til the monday (i ended up being on public transport all week which was rubbish) Then he encountered the Pedal Box problem... so the new one came in on tues afternoon... then wednesday... there was another problem, the brake spring had sprung! No idea where it went so he had to fix that... phoned him on the thurs... he was waiting on some 'Information' and i would get it back n friday... Which in actuallity i finally did!!Drove it home tho, and i'm not very sure if it was me switching from a bike to car, or not having it all week but I'm possitive he just swapped the car for a new one... Drivings emense now... Have to double check 1st and reverse tho coz i can never tell which is which anymore (reverse used to crunch in...)So anyways i have my wee car back... Taking him on a run to Edinburgh today (to see if he still hates the motorway, has a tendense to yell over 50..) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kitkat27 Posted June 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 So I feel like updating this not done much lately... well ok i got a new fuel filter to try and sort my engine management problem... still not fixed... :/Anyways i got a week job, delivering yellow pages oh all things (never again!!!) I manged to get them all in the back of the Lup...So yeah during my 3 day stint doing this i had to drive along a back road covered in muck!! Car stank to high heaven... Not even kidding! I waited til i'd finished and then went and gave him his first power wash/wax (still not sure i did it right, but twas my first time so don't judge...)Look at that Ass...Front look... wi a cheeky wee rear end of my dad's car in the background...Mucked up/ make a lovely new patern on! One of my wheel trims... I canny park/ the pavements are rally high where i was...Front View...Up on the jack...Which subsequently put a slight whole in the tarmac (was a hot day) terrible picture i know...Took the stupid 'Powered by V-Tech?' sticker of the backend... was coming off anyways... and yes thats the poor guys trolley in the background! :LLast one... A picture of my New Radio... I have half-fixed the cut wire problem but not quite...thinking of making the VW sign permanent... Thats all!

James827 Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Pretty cool just a few things.1. TRY and invest in a better jack & stands. Widowmaker jacks are prone to falling over which would be dangerous!2. Wheel trims are pretty simple to spray Wish i left my car standard. done very few Modifications to mine but whenever i do do somthing, somthing else come along and breaks!

Brad1992 Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 looks good, i wanna take my speedo bit off but it wont undo! and NEVER USE THOSE JACKS, mine slipped and wrecked the sills on mine, since then always use a trolley jack, heed my warning!

kitkat27 Posted October 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 So Today is a sad day for me... No longer gonna be a Lupo driver tho i really wanna get a 'My first car was a Lupo' Sticker for the back on my new car... Which is a 06 plate VW Polo before anyone asks, in Blue its only a 1.2 but i'm sure it'll be just as nippy as good olde Loopy... Gonna miss this guy, best 2 years of my life... #WhyDon'tTheyMakeLupo'sAnymore???Saving up for an Up tho as as far as i can see its just a modern Lupo so in a few years time hopefully i'll be proud to say i drive Lupo's Grandson...That is all Peoples, I will miss being a part of this community it really is like a big family and we all wave to each other when we see each other.I'll still wave to you guys (or salute i dunno which) if i see any of you so yeah don't be alarmed just little old me paying tribute to a beautiful piece or German engineering...Live Long and Prosper Lupos!!!!
