Naomi-h Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 Been told to make a thread on here, so, got the Lupo a year ago, dont have any photos of it how i got it, But here it isAnd the exhaust, my dad just made this as there was a hole in the bumper and it was easier to do this than to get a new bumperThought about some wheels and tried these on, but still on steelesAnd then about a week or so later this happenedWas off the road for 2 weeks after that, didnt expect it to get fixed so soon as we were paying for it all ourselves, but went down to my dads work last week and saw this So back on the road Sat on Saturday and did a few we small touches to the interior From This..To this..And then changed these from black to blue, not sure which i like more thoughafter all that was done i thought i should go up and see the poor other car that gave me its face, went up to the shed, opened the door and found thisHad a look around it, and took out the headrests cause they looked nicer than mine.So Yeah, thats it so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOwlTwooo Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 The main bit of the handle?There are two screws under the newly painted blue bit, then essentially you just pull the whole door card off and the handles come out by un-clipping them from the back. (I just used a flat head screwdriver) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I just used a flat head screwdriver)see i was doing this, but didn't want to put too much force into it cause it felt like it was about to break..

TheOwlTwooo Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 You have to yank it pretty hard! Hahaha (Thats what he said..) The clips holding the doorcard in are the little white plastic ones that hold pretty much everything together in there.. It doesn't matter if one or two break, but you have to pull them hard to get them off. Sorry for annoying your thread!Nice looking loop!!
