craigmahoneyy Posted June 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 So today became a bad day, started off with a horrible noise coming from the passengers side front wheel so decided to take the wheel off in college car park borrowing someones jack quickly, span the disc a few times then it stopped, bolted wheel back on all is well until i remove the jack and it has collapsed my sill drove the car round the car park to check the wheel, then boom oil lamp flashes up and beeps at me, somehow i have no oil, of to halfrauds to pick up some oil, put the oil in drove it home, managed to hammer the sill back in to place sort of not perfect but it aint no show car so after all this drama i decided the only option was to lower it more Anyway cant wait for players classic at the weekend! Polished up my wheels a fair bit and give the interior a good hoover and shampoo.

craigmahoneyy Posted November 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 Really am sorry for neglecting my thread, i will make a point of keeping it updated over the winter! Always posting things on instagram so follow me @craigmahoneyy for more regular photos! So ive been using Kleenfreaks detailing products for a good year now, i was emailed by them and asked if i would be on there stand at Show & Glow which i was delighted with! So the prep began! Decided that i needed a cleaner looking rear number plate rather than a plastic yellow one so i figured as im not running a front plate all the time with the smooth bumper i would spray up my pressed one and run the plastic one in the window. Turned out okay in the end!Next i began sorted the paint work out, it was pretty swirly and had been doing my nut in for ages to treated myself to a dual action polisher and some pads and set to work.Pretty long night but got all the car done late Thursday night, finished the rest of it off on the Friday ready to drive down on the Saturday. Taped up the bumper to stop stone chips and dirt!Inside the show!Manged to pic up a sport lower bumper off a mate last week to! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyParanoid Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 just a question, what sizes are the bullet steels? I'm contemplating a set for mine and yours look like they fit great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelle Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 Your car is absolutely gorgeous, amazing photos especially the reflection shots Read the whole tread love what you have done with your Lupo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigmahoneyy Posted December 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 So a few things have happened since my last update! Might as well let the pictures do the talking!Few more photos from Show & Glow!Picked up some new ultra bright sidelights Few recent photos that i snapped before the bullets came off for winter!Then this happened someone hit my car while it was parked, no cctv in a dark car park, ruined bumper and cracked Cambridge rear light Got the bumper off the next weekend, popped it out the best i could slightly split the paint but it will do for now Finally managed to find myself a nice new interior! thanks to amber!Fancy some new wheels now, also took all the camo bits off looked so tacky compared to the new interior, lot of plans that will happen over winter so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
