I have studied vekkes 2l project wery closely. I got the smooth wheel caps and grill block from him

A lot of he's projects is a inspiration.. To bad a lot of them will not be street legal in my country ;( like the boat tail and the stripping of the cabin.
Most of the modification I will make will have to be taken off for car inspection every 2 years

Just an example of the price and legality issued I have.

I could do something about the headlight They use about 130 w I think and xenon headlight is about 35w if I'm not mistaken. The only problem is the headlight have to come I off a used lupo gti that is rare and if I install them I have to make headlight washers and mount a gyro on the rear wheel bridge that will outo level the light for it to be street legal. And the total cost in materials is close to 1700 $ for used headlight


I have also seen the other posts about how hard it is to get the lupo 3l registered in the USA a real shame
