Hi all, my name is Harry & for my 17th birthday my parents brought me a lupo for £1500

This is what it looked like on the day I got it: D. I had my first lesson on 31/12/1993 (my B-Day) and passed after 8 lessons on April 14th.

2 weeks after driving got my first set of alloys for £10 on eBay with tyres

Went to bedgebury with the bike, car + dog.

Ended up getting the car dirty thought it was a good idea to give a nice clean up inside and out

As I had problems insuring the car I had to for a Co-op young drivers tracker, so my mate though it was funny to give a restricted to 70 MPH sticker

22.jpg

23.jpg

Gave the car a clay bar, machine polish and then a final hand polish

21.jpg

A year later my insurance was over and I could modify my car so.............

Removed the door rub stripes

24.jpg

Time to lower the car, couldn’t afford coil overs so went for shocks and springs 60mm front and 40 mm rear

27.jpg?t=1339350147

28.jpg?t=1339350160

Fitted a Sportex back box and a sports centre silencer from a 1.4 from luplow 1.0 - Jay

29.jpg?t=1339350195

Gave the car a damn good clean, looks smart :) + got a private plate

we had Snow

To be a bit different I painted the engine cover silver.

40.jpg?t=1339350834

A week later my car died on the main road, turned out to be the Coil pack thank good. Whilst I

had the engine cover off I thought it was good idea to degrease and clean he engine bay well pleased with the results

In April 2012 I decided to fit some rear speaker, a gamma head unit and a 6 cd changer from lupopo - Jason

58.jpg

Also got Lupo Gti seats from lupopo - Jason

Shortly after I trimmed and fitted a suede head liner + painted the handles and sun visors black

Hey its honestly nice to see a young lad like yourself taking so much pride and time into there cars and not just rag them about with no care

looking really good so far you done a good job but..... lowering it would make it look so much better!

08/06/12 -------- I then decided I wanted a 1.4S or Sport so I detailed my car to show to a mate who wants to buy it but the deal isn’t 100% secure as I can’t find a car I want
