Rowan S Jones Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 (edited) I've had my sport for over a year now, and been lurking on here occasionally leaving a question or comment. Enjoyed looking at other members rides so I thought i'd share a couple of pics of my lupo with you all. since i've bought it i've dropped it on coilovers, fitted my ICE, and bought myself a roof rack for surfing, only small updates really but it's all the budget's allowing me atm! not looking clean in these pics, I will at some point clean her up and take some proper photos! (yes I need a new foglight before anyone mentions!) As I said she's dropped on coilovers, but I didn't want her scraping everywhere I go especially as I live in Devon and the road's aren't too forgiving here, and I don't fancy rubbing away the underneath of my car!Drinks holder (woo!) and Headunit - this is connected to Edge components in the front doors, edge tweeters and my sub in the boot pic of sub, and....Old light's (boring standard red)Got these to fit ... took me a good hour to get the orange bulb covers out - hackage with oversized wire cutters! So, car's currently looking like this. gonna be taking the retro rack off soon as I do a lot of driving and it can't be too good for my fuel economy will try and take some half decent photos at some point soon! all comments / criticism welcome! thanks for looking Edited October 16, 2012 by Rowan S Jones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowan S Jones Posted March 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 cheers for the comments, i'll hopefully soon be taking the bump strips off, and i'm toying with the idea of a carbon fibre green badge, but not yet decided on that. It might look a bit over the top! - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-REAR-GREEN-CARBON-EFFECT-BADGE-GOLF-POLO-TRANSPORTER-PASSAT-LUPO-ETC-/190646379879?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2c6368e567thoughts & comments welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowan S Jones Posted March 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Hope that gives you some idea of how it went in, it sits in very well and i've never had problems from going round corners too fast! you might have to have the rear seats in the upright position, but I thought not.

Rowan S Jones Posted March 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 (edited) Decided not to fit the speakers today, gave her some tlc though! - took the rack off, had a clean up under the bonnet, new aerial, silver indicator bulbs in the cambridge lights, and a fresh jelly belly Edited March 11, 2012 by Rowan S Jones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowan S Jones Posted March 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 lack of funds has led to no updates! I have however taken the bump strips off (not all together successfully) as i took a tiny bit of paint with it. also the green paint does not match perfectly, will have a go over with some t-cut otherwise it'll be getting sprayed! off surfing again today, will try and get some pics of it smooth soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
