Hi all

So the aeromodding begins on my lupo 3l and I will try to keep it up to date here as I install improvements and update my fuel log which will begin in January as I'm on leave * After getting my 3rd kid.

I run at 71 mpg (us) with almost no modification so it will be interesting to see what the different modification will do. I will try and drive at least 2 tanks between mods in order to see some comparison to the different modification and not cluster them up

I *fittet a new adjustable suspension and lowered the car as the old one needed change and a adjustable suspension is cheaper than a original E approved lupo3l suspension ( the 71 mpg was with new suspension )

I got my smooth hub caps on and a front grill block in place.
And I fittet my scangauge II at the dashboard.
This will be my first improvement that needs testing. I will add pictures as soon as I'm allowed

I ordered some cameras and some 4,3 inch screens that I will install in the side mirrors to delete them. Had a frind ship it from the states to Denmark where I live as the cameras on Amazon was 30$ in the us and the cheapest I could get them in Denmark was 82$

I have also ordered LED lightbulps for the entire car and HiD for the headlight. I'm working on getting original xenon headlights but that are really hard to get a hold of to the lupo.

I will soon order some coroplast from holland as I cannot get that stuff in Denmark and I will start to work on rear wheel well covers.

Hope to see some great results and hear from you all.
