Ragtop lupo (boot build)
right so heres my lupo 1.4 16v sport ragtop laser blue, apparently very rare in this colour with the roof and being a sport aswell, heres how i picked it up
lowerd slightly with AP coilovers
bit of metal polishing
interior and engine bits got painted
standard grill bought and fitted
then i came up with this
and that did it for me so.....
picked these up
then went in to have some work done,
trial fiited a wheel
and this is how i got it back

Re: Ragtop lupo (boot build)
Welcome to the forum mate,
Absolutely love it, definately Fresh :p
you say about how its 'rare' - well i can say ive definately not seen many about like it witht he roof let alone one thats been modified (excluding other lupo's ofcourse)
is the interior going to get the same treatment?
I recon you can lower

Yea fair do's, isn't much goin on in Braintree is there tbh. Oh right, whos your gf?
Cool, Yea I know what its like, I did virtually all the prep work on my car aswell before it was resprayed. Lots of hard work but well worth it when you see it all finished and back together.
