T3LLIOTT Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 (edited) Hello everybody!After driving my mums car for 10 months and saving up, I've finally been able to afford my own car! Being a long time lurker within this forum looking at various topics and advice from other users, I decided to buy a Lupo! I bought it on Thursday with 62,000 miles on the clock with service history to back it up and it's only done 10,000 miles in the last 10 years! So far I've covered ~100 miles including a trip to Leeds and I have to say I've loved every minute! It has great character and I love the quirky features such as the dials and pop up front seats! Mods wise I plan on lowering it at some stage and probably change the wheels for something nice and subtle with a bit of dish!So here she is......And the keys....Although these tend to change every 1-2 weeks as we make these at work so I'm never short on supply/choice (the keyrings that is!) Cheers,Tom(Edited to IMG picture format) Edited May 19, 2013 by T3LLIOTT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T3LLIOTT Posted August 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 This is how she's looking after I added the G60's with black centres! I think it's a big improvment over the ones that were on before. Just need to get the height sorted now....I also made some Lego dust caps at work which I'm quite proud of!!

tim_evans1 Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 coilovers looking decent. how much did they set you back?do coilover kits come with new top mounts? mine have been advised as worn so it makes sense for me to coilover before MOT anyway!

I got them from Venom motorsport for £ 185.00 + a little discount on top I don't think they do tbh, standard ones do the trick but won't do if they're already broken!
