chris-s1993 Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 Iv had my car for just over a year now.it is a 2002 volkswagen lupo se. only started doing things to it in the past few months since iv had money.here it is when i first got itgave it a good clean the next daythen i decided to paint the alloys black, (silly chavy looking mistake)didnt really do anything for a while after that. then winter came, got some cheap steels and done them white. (another terrible mistake hahah) turned out to be pretty pointless too with a disappointing winter.winter went, put my alloys on and decided to have a go at smoothing a spare bumper, turned out ok but i had to take it off cos the paint faded as i didnt let the lacquer set properly due to being impatient.here is how it looked when i had it done,the alloy wheel tyres went bald so i re painted the steels a less contrasting colour. was going to go for matte black but saw a tin of nato green and had to get it.then i got the indicators tinted amber, not much of a difference but i think it is a nice touch. then i FINALLY got enough money together to get some coilovers! fitted them myself the next day then i got some 15x7 bbs rz's and painted them ford tibetan gold with a satin black lipgot my rear arches rolled and got them put on and went playing out with my camera. this is how it stands now.
