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 it

gave it a good clean the next day

then 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) 3032c783.jpg

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. ca74cd67.jpg

then i FINALLY got enough money together to get some coilovers! 9bacc242.jpg

fitted them myself the next day :)

got my rear arches rolled and got them put on and went playing out with my camera. this is how it stands now.

also, had a go of metal polishing on my manifold cover, got a new LED interior light and painted the inside bit of the front badge the same colour as the wheel centre.

Looking nice dude :) Very jealous of the front bumper smoothing, smoothing I don't have the skills for I don't think. The off set number plate looked brill :) nice progress, can't wait to see more. Shall keep an eye out for this little Lupo
