TheGreenB Posted April 13, 2014 Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 Hey guys so i bought my lupo back in january for a small cost of £900! which i thought was a great deal for my first car. Ive just been doing little small jobs and keeping it clean really! Coilovers are to be fitted within the next week so more pictures will be uploaded!This was when i first bought the car Cleaned the alloys up as good as they could First step was removing the side trims!Had to sticker over where an adhesive had been used on the rear trim if i tried to remove it the paint would come off with it so to avoid paint damage i just slapped a sticker on it for now however more stickers will probs be needed! Just recently i de-wipered the rear which i think makes it look a lot cleaner!here are just a few more random pictures of the car Finally onto the good stuff my coil overs got delivered friday and should be fitted this week! also getting my arches rolled so will let you know how it goes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarosa Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 And I hope you're getting those hideous rear lights removed and replaced for the OEM SE lights! Apart from that looks a very nice first car, my girlfriend has one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreenB Posted April 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 Ahah I kind of like the Lexus back lights just a little different rather than being the same as everyone else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreenB Posted April 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 Yeah got the green seats in however no se bag unfortunately keeping my eyes out for one though! Seats aren't in the greatest condition but they will do for now thinking of getting some seat covers for the fronts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver! Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 Nice little car. Lovely colour and wheels. Need to get the front panel alignment sorted!If that's your idea of beading you need better wax! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver! Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 Ah, right. Most people post beading shots after they clean their car. I'll let you off!...and you can get new wheel bolt covers for not much on eBay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreenB Posted April 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 So my passenger door has been like this since I bought it I've tried to move the bar inside the door but it doesn't seem to budge any ideas ? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattarosa Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 That's the door check strap, you may be able to get it out by hooking it and giving it a damn good pull, I'd imagine it will need alot of force, there should be a pin holding the bit in the door to it.

TheGreenB Posted April 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 Thanks man ill give it a go thinking of just putting a bar through the hole and pulling on it might release it? not sure if once its released i should think about getting a new one because don't want my door getting stuck or something think you can get new ones from dealership for not so much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarosa Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 The stealer ones are expensive, but if you need one, you could always take it out by removing the door card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamesstrutt Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 Sits nice, have you got the adjusters cups in the back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowrider Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 I just love this Fresco Green...one of the nices colors I've seen on a Loop. Still, there something that needs changed...those rear lights. A pair of Cambridge lights or even stock Lupo ones would look 100 times better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
