That is a damn nice Lupo buddy. Cracking condition too. Your door handle + pillar mod will look great when done. Will make it real classy.

Hate to say it, but I never got lowering the 1.0L version. I've always thought that any gain in handling would be countered by the fact the car really isn't quick enough off the blocks and mid range to require that kind of lowering. However, plenty on here will disagree no doubt and I suppose on the right roads a lowered 1.0L would probably feel mental :D

Handling still improves no matter how powerful the car is. Though let's be honest most of us lower our cars far beyond the point of handling improvement, cos it looks awesome & arch gap is hideous :lol:

What's with the excessive rear camber though? Totally unnecessary on them tiny wheels & looks a bit daft tbh.

Like the smoothed bits & co-pilot though :thumbsup:

Thanks mate, i put abit more effort into cleaning it now haha. Yeah hopefully the vinyl should work well

As for the lowering, i have to agree with koop.. it looks awesome :lol:

Tbh i fitted the camber as an experiment, and because i never had toe-in issues i never got round to taking it off. Once my wheels are on and some spacers fitted it should more sense haha

But glad you like the smooth bits.. and the co-pilot haha

So today i took benji out for the first time in a couple days, and noticed that he wasn't running as smooth as before. Then after about 2 minutes of driving i experienced a loss of power and a jerky ride, which was then followed by the check engine light flashing at me. After limping back home i came to the conclusion it was a misfire, so over the weekend ill hopefully get round to sorting out the problem.

Thanks, Tyler

Still working on the ride height, still not low enough.. Also got a few little plans in the works that should be interesting, and also a new set of wheels (whenever i can afford some)

Thanks, Tyler

Thanks guys..

What happened to your front bumper then?

It cracked pretty much all the way round, then literally fell off..

Was just one big lump of filler

Nice work, lose the stickers, flaps and dangly bits :)

Cheers dude.. Tbf i go through phases where i either have the flaps on or i don't, but lately all they do is scrub the floor which gets annoying after a while
