bossjohnc Posted April 5, 2005 Report Share Posted April 5, 2005 Welcome!And is that what I think it is on your front grille?? People were thinking about this a couple of days ago - looks like you're the first to do it!What did you use? (The red stripe I mean) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulbin Posted April 5, 2005 Report Share Posted April 5, 2005 WOW love the red stripe, the wheels everything, looks so nice, keep up the good work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanaryLupo Posted April 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2005 Just a strip of red pinstriping and a heat gun or hairdryer to help mold the corners. Worked quite well. Tried all types of setups and this is the only one that worked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RallyeBaz Posted April 6, 2005 Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 8) What other mods you got planned ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanaryLupo Posted April 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 Basic stuff. Strut braces front and rear. In the engine also basic setup. Intake system, cams, headers, reprogram ecu. Don't want to get into serious mods to the engine. Just bolt in stuff I can do myself. I have a Mustang engine sitting around. Could try to shoehorn it in style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigMon Posted April 6, 2005 Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 Where in the Canaries are you from? I've been to Gran Canaria a couple of times. I bet out of season the roads are great for driving on. Zero speed cameras too I guess?Welcome to the forum BTW. Nice to see some subtle mods which actually improve the look of the car as opposed to the obscenities used by the modders where I live.

CanaryLupo Posted April 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 I'm from Tenerife. Not many speed cameras, but roads are too small for the amount of traffic so don't have much of a chance to speed around. Do enough of that on the race track when my brother does his testing for his team. I learned English by travelling around as a kid due to my dad's health, and then insisted on continuing my studies in English. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanaryLupo Posted April 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 I put a pic of the 17" rim in the styling section for all those that wanted a better look.http://forum.clublupo.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=8918 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LincolnLupo Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 Very nice car there, very impressed. As mentioned before every mod improves the car and done for a reason (not for the sake of it).I've been to tenerife 3 times and while I like the country, your roads are a bit crappy (loose stones everywhere etc). Must be really annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanaryLupo Posted April 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 You must have been on the wrong roads. There are some impressive roads to drive on, especialy if you ride a bike. BMW comes out here to do their motorcycle testing because of the favourable conditions. Many car adds are made here for the same reasons. I gues it's like everywhere, if you don't know where to go you find whatever you come accross, and that is the impression you get of the place. There are some roads that are in pretty bad conditions. Next time you come, drop me a note and I'll take you around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LincolnLupo Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 True, I didn't think they'd all be that bad. I was also in the worst place of all for roads no doubt (clubbing area - las americas is it??). There was lots of construction going on around the area with the crappiest roads so that no doubt didn't help either.I did drive around the island a bit though (did the full circuit of that motorway thing that does almost the complete island I think?), and a few other places along the route + going to top of mountain etc as you do.They weren't too bad I suppose in most places (failing memory doesn't help either).might take you up on that offer if I'm over that way, might be a while before I'm back though (large car loan and house move to pay for style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /> !!)
