Afksam Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 (edited) Right so I got this beaut for VERY cheap considering what it is, I have got to take it into the mechanic as the MOT has just run out and it supposedly overheats? I'm hoping its gonna be a cheap fix read more here: http://forums.clublupo.co.uk/index.php?/topic/95080-help-overheating/ Plans so far (if not much work needs doing)-New louder exhaust- tinted rear windows- new quarter panel or get it re sprayed- Sort out 3 spots of rust- maybe re trim the door panels with digital camo pattern- get some nice wheels rather than the bling sh**ty ones- new stereo/ fit 6x9's I have and get a sub (as I love my bass)- Give it a good clean MUCH MORE PLANNED TOO Have a look: Stay tuned for many more updates Edited April 22, 2013 by Afksam 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
