Finally got round to swapping the indicators over earlier, old ones were full of water and hazy so needed replacing either way.

Wonderfull interior.

It's hard to fit?

Yes they are pretty hard to fit.

It involved making my own subframes to bolt into the top of the lupo runners for the fronts, and the backs required brackets being cut away and bolt/weld in. Alot of work but definatly worth it! :innocent:

Fitted the Cambridge lights today, look pretty smart! Just need to work on the wiring now to accommodate Lupo lights as the wiring for the Arosa lights is a bit different.

They look cool, one thing bothers me is that they steal Arosa's identity.

Hmm I suppose so but the cambridge rears look so much better than the pink arosa lights that where on there before lol

Havent posted in a while as ive been busy :surprised: and the lupo has been keeping me busy as im tidying it up ready to be sold in just under 2 months :unsure:

Anyway, I went to Waxstock 2014 in Coventry and picked up a few new cleaning goodies to try out! Quality day out and I will 100% be going back there next year and will be participating in 'Arrive&Shine' in Arnold :thumbup:, Heres a few snaps i took on my phone.

Sorry guys havent updated im ages, However ive been ordering bits and bobs for Arnold and now have a massive pile of stuff that needs fitting!
On the bright side I can drive him in 63 days :thumbup:

This is the reason ive not done much to the car.. Nothing beats a bike made from all the parts of your choice that you have built yourself :shades:

That looks something, i must agree on the build-yourself part. Been there, done that.

I think i'll build another fixie :P

Need a bike rack for the lupo now Dan. Different gearing to the last one I hope.

Hahaa fixes are great! Love how simple yet fun they are.

So me and my dad will be doing a lot of work on Arnold over this bank holiday weekend, including lowering him at last!
