Hi guys! :)
Not visited Club Lupo in over a year I think, due to a very busy life!
So I thought I'd come back and show you how my 'standard Arosa with photoshopped painted wheels, roof and badge with a bad air vent paint job' is doing, hehe!

How it all started

Got myself some show plates!

And a nice new head unit

Now then, this interior looks a little dull

So this was my next purchase , only standard Lupo seats, but looking miles better! Original, clean.

The next thing to be changed, was my wheels, so went and got some Rare Rials!

Giving them a clean

Rosie then needed lows, so I got to work!

What more could I do whilst my car is sat there and my provisional on its way in the post? I know! Lets put some break lights In some polo 16v indicator holders and make the footwells red!

My little car lost all the attention for a while after this whilst I was busy with driving lessons, but I passed in just under 3 months and she got loved again!

^ what annoyed me the most was the parking result was rather impressive !

Not to worry, got out the metal file, some 400 and 1200 grit and my meguairs metal polish and got straight to work!
