hey guys,

i'm brad, I'm a manager at subway and this is my lupo, his name is mikey!

He is a 1.4l 75bhp version!

He has a supersport custom exhaust system, with GTi injectors + inlets with a bmc cda air filter with blue piping!

The car did come with coilovers when i bought it, but sadly the shocks were blown + were rusted in place!

Thats when i got it home and cleaned it for the first time!

I didnt like the snowflakes, so i got some steels, but these were temporary, so the snowflakes came back!

at the local lupo meet!

Then a tyre blew up, so space saver for a while until i got paid!

sadly the bumper had been in a fight with someone so it looked like this for a while

Engine shot.. (now all covered up)

As the bumper was ruined i thought, why not have some fun and learn some stuff about body filler and what not!

The bumper was yellow and the black had been spray painted on so was chipped off when stones hit it so it took quite a bit of work!

Then i loved it, so thought snowflakes too - as you can see the car is a 4x4 at the mo as im waiting to lower it again!
