lol got to get a new back bmuper and get it sprayed first.

then might get the front done with the rub strips smoothed out :).

Why do you need a new rear bumper? TBH, I think you plan of lowering it first was a better idea.... :p

Car is looking good!! :thumbup:. The Arosa will definetely suit the Lupo bumper. Like the sticker with the deck of cards with the 'S' logo.

THATS the other thing I meant to ask! Where did you get those stickers from? I've looked all over and never found anything that caught my attention, but that deck of cards one is awesome!

That looks miles better pal.
Get the lower part of the front bumper colour coded and imo that would look great.
One more thing, you're the first person aside from myself that I've seen with the cards & 'S' badge sticker!

Car is looking sweet mate, spotted it on the Westwood Hill the other night! :thumbup:

Where did you get the bumpstrips smooted? Thinking about getting mine done but was quoted £350 for the back bumper alone :(

Cheers!

Aye that was me bud! Had to leave it overnight Saturday as we were away in the borders playing so the obligatory bus trip piss up was taking place :p

Oh right, that's who quoted mine as well. Maybe he was talking about the repair work it needs done also. :blink:

just seen your thread with the exhaust, looks good mate, the reason your will be more i think is cause you have a the rub strip running the full length of the back bumper where as i only has 2 rub strips to be done either side of the plate recess, so there will be more welding and smoothing involved if you get me.

he can be expensive at time but his work is really good man, cant really fault the work on the arosa :).
