Beautiful description completes some work made on your Lupo and beautiful work above .

Stickers "checkerboard" ("damier") are cool, I like .


Cool also Audi TT knee gaurds .

Why not adding a pair of spacers on the rear ?
It could offer a better sit & fit to your Ps... Especially on a rear view !
