Surferdude0702 Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 (edited) So, here is my 1.4s lupo that I bought yesterday. She is completely standard but I do intend to change that (when I have the funds) I think the first modification she gets is a new battery as unfortunately it is dead All comments welcome and would like any advise on what to do to her? Here are a few photos..Sorry about the poor photos, there isn't a lot of space on the drive, I shall take some better ones when she is in some space Edited October 21, 2012 by Surferdude0702 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surferdude0702 Posted February 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Thanks, I am saving for some new wheels after I get the battery, I am undecided between alloys or banded steels, what do you think would look better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisnicol Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 I think green lupos look really good with simple mods, look forward to seeing this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lupo-Joe Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Banded steels could work well! Nice car tho!Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surferdude0702 Posted February 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Thanks, I think the first thing I am going to do is remove them bump strips and the reflectors on the doors, that should make it look a bit smarter to start with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lupo-Joe Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Nice dude you thinking of lows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surferdude0702 Posted February 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Yeah I shall get some coilovers when I get some money, hopefully in a month or so, thanks marky and it says on the back 'lupo 1.4 sport' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowan S Jones Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 nice car! i'm sure it's a 1.4 S but I like it! interested to see what you're gonna do with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surferdude0702 Posted February 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Battery is on charge as we speak so we shall see if she holds her charge tomorrow, if not then off to halfords on sunday, comes in handy when you have a mate who gets 15% discount. Then some coilovers is top of the list, might get some pressed plates too. Yeah it most probably is a 1.4s, the bit that says sport shall be getting removed soon anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koop Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Yep sports have 16v on the back not sport, you can tell by whether or not you have a centre exhaust! S's are sweet though, i drive one myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surferdude0702 Posted February 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 Good news! Looks like the battery is alright and wont need replacing so saving for them coilies! Next month hopefully! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEP51 Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 (edited) if it has this on the back it isnt a sport, it comes from a renault, or halfords.Sports also have a centre exit exhaust.Nice car tho! - but take the door protectors off!
