Mrs Al's Lupo GTI.
« on: August 11, 2011, 08:22:45 pm »
Mrs Al here, just thought I might as well start a build thread for my Lupo.

The day I bought it...







First wash...





A big old parcel came today...



I wonder what's in it?





I was umming and ahhing over wheels so decided to get some lensos to tide me over until I find something better or different. I'll be sticking them on at the weekend. Got a couple of other things on the way soon

Also...

Just tidying up the small things such as the door handles, number plate etc before start serious modding on it.
Got some door pins off ebay for about £5. Also traded in my original lights with a Lupo forum member for some Cambridge lights

Do love a lupo gti, they go like go karts!

Got a link for the ebay auction the door pins are from? My mate would be all over them for his loop, always good to buy from a seller someone's got experience of!

You'll have to take it along to some shows and rival Al  :signLOL:

Good Morning Mrs Al,

I must say that there ain't no small car better than the Lupo GTI - I love 'em to bits! It looks like your mods are nice and tasteful so far.  :happy2:
