Last week I got a long registration stamp on my Lupo, yahoo. 15 months if everything goes well.

Today laminated new hood. Lupo 3L aluminium hood weighted 9 kg with gas spring. If you remove also the highes and locks from the body you get close to 10 kg total weight.

Now the estimated weigth for this hood is under 5 kg, but well see that more accurately when I take it off from the mold.

I also laminated new smooth undertray from glasfiber. The current 3mm abs version is over 20 kg... This new one should be about 7 kg.
