chrisnicol Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 Very nice lupo, what plans you got for it? I've got a polo 6R aerial you can have for £10 that is almost as short as the one you have fitted but you get perfect radio signal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigmahoneyy Posted November 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 Looking to get some Cambridge rears for it then I wanna split the head lights and paint the insides black then gotta wait for a few months until I do the bigger mods, okay will give you a pm or something if I want one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete91 Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 Looks proper clean mate. I'd stick the trims back on though, bare steelies look gash imo. Also, i'd be a bit weary doing work in it with just that scissor jack under it!You might get a bit of hassle for the plates and hids aswell mate. There's been a few stories of folk getting fines with the ebay plates! Sorry to be a negative nancy but apart from that the car looks crackin'!

craigmahoneyy Posted November 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 Yeah realised those jacks aren't any good after a while haven't had any trouble with the HIDs and plates yet so fingers crossed. Had ago at smoking the side repeaters after college, personally think they look way better not the best job around the edges but from a distance you cant tell. Might end up just buying as a smoked set or orange ones?Untitled by CMahoneyPhotography, on Flickr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joti Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 Good work chap!I personally think the steelies look better without trims myself.Like what what you have done (bar the smoked indicators, to be fair) - keep it up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigmahoneyy Posted November 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 Lowering has always been top of the list but parents wouldn't let me drive without declaring, prob best thing to do so once my insurance renews in a few months that's the first thing that will be done for now just trying to keep it clean and do little bits here and there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

on it in a lupo Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 Loving the motor mate, I've seen it on Instagram a couple of time and its made me wanna get my in a good condition, I was going to sell mine but now it's booked in to get all the body work down . It might be a idea to give your insurance a call as my might just declared his car lowered and his insurance went down so just give them a call and see what they say about collies or springs. Keep up the good work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigmahoneyy Posted November 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 Getting pretty fed up with people at college hating on my car so much, people keep asking me why would spend so much money on cleaning stuff on cleaning a **** car and why do you keep such a **** car so clean or my nan even has car is better than yours. This is coming from a person who drives a corsa club with 2 irmscher stickers on the windows with a stuck petrol flap cover that's bent and half hanging off, never claimed it to be the best ever just like to keep it clean nothing wrong with that right? anyway some more cleaning pictures plus gloss black interior handles are in Cleaning by CMahoneyPhotography, on FlickrClean by CMahoneyPhotography, on FlickrHandles in Interior Handles by CMahoneyPhotography, on Flickr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
