    My Lupo GTI

    little update so this happened in the horrific rain last monday which meant time for new LUPO........... Not quite as uncle is on holiday i cannot get him to do the gearbox which means not much has happened. so i decided to give the little beast a clean. the car had sat under a tree for ages the previous owner said. it had sap, dirt, grime all over the car, was awful. almost 10 evenings later and a sore pair of blue hands. doing a panel a night pretty much all that was used was. clear t-cut, then rubbing compound, blue t-cut its clean. please excuse the photos using my iphone will invest in a camera for future. Before during after few parts ordered

    My Lupo GTI

    yes sir. Tomorrow i will take a few photos of the bad bits. You are right though they are aluminium. I had an inkling that was what it was thank you. yep my bad. yeah i was so happy with it. yeah tbh i didnt expect it to be a perfect car for £1300 baring in mind decent lupo gti's go for £3000 upwards. sorry man this car is to stay with me for a good few years. Yeah when he said that straight away i said ill take it hahaha. it will got a few good things to happen to it. will be a similar build to 99hjhm's lupo gti OEM+ but different still if you get my drift.
  12. This is my Raven Blue Lupo GTI.. Bought as seen. Ive been looking for one for about a year now at an affordable price for a student, was really looking for a black one but couldnt find one. Then in the space of a week i found two lupo's in my village in good ol norfolk. I went and spoke to the guy, he was looking to rebuild it but he said hes happily sell it on. So £1300 later (sooooo so cheap) im the proud owner of a lupo. being a student it will be a long process of modding the car but it will get done over time the car has had an engine rebuild before i brought the car. bad points of the car gear box is very clunky and loud rusty brakes very dirty missing towing eye covers wheels are in bad condition rust on passenger door (only bubbling a small amount) rust on boot handle now introducing my new car Interior Sun glass holder Din Slot Interior Light SMD 'Xenon' bulbs Audio Exterior Golf Mk7 Stubby Aerial Polo Mk7 Aero Rear Wiper Arm LED Rear Number Plate Lights Engine Rebuild at 136,000 by Auto Shack VW Strut mount Covers Brakes Suspension Transmission Rebuilt at 119,000 By Anderson Engines Wheels/Tyres 16" BBS RC 321's 7.5J 4x100mm ET35. Golf Mk4 GTI Anniversary centre caps. BBS stainless steel valve caps. or... 15" VW 'Bathursts' 6.5J 4x100mm ET43.
  13. did you just take them the seats and they did it for you? or did you have to take the covers off and take them reason i ask is i have seats with a carbon back to them
  14. ah fair enough its a really good mod and i think it makes the car look so much cleaner. if mitch has a thread about it can you point me in the way of it please?

    Lupo

    forgot to ask where did you get the vw anniversary wheels in 16in cant find them anywhere
  16. where did you get the seats done please? they look very good!
  17. right im an starting to see alot of cars now having a "clean engine bay". for those of you not sure on what i mean by clean engine bay its this sort of thing: so my question is would it be possible for me to do something like this with a LUPO GTI so its just the engine in there and move most of the other stuff? or if anyone has done this before could you point me in the direction of this please? thanks Reedo

  19. hahahah yeah need a GTI to start with though Chris
  20. thanks for the reply! i was just wondering but as they can be done i am going to go ahead with this. first priority is finding a decent LUPO GTI in black or Blue! Anyone? hahaha
  21. Hello all I am very interested in getting a VW LUPO GTI and have a few thoughts and questions which i require some answers and thoughts on, so here goes. What i want to do with A Lupo GTI is build a semi show car. 3 main things i would like to do. reasoning behind this is that i love the look of a LUPO GTI and cant think of a car which is nicer looking, as small and unique as a LUPO 1. sort interior out in the car with semi alcantara suede, to the dash, doorcards and seats. GET either VW GOLF R32 MK5 seats, or AUDI RS seats, to fit and be reupholstered, in new leather and alcantara suede. So my question is would these seats be able to fit into a LUPO GTI? For those unsure of the seats see below. 2.the second modification i would do to the car, would be to have the engine stripped, cleaned, rebuilt and painted? i would like to know peoples thoughts on weather to do this or not and if its easy enough to do? reasoning behind this is i love the look of a cleaned engine. 3. now this i feel will be the hardest mod to do. I would have a clear engine bay. By this i mean no, battery, washer bottles, brake fluid all the bits and bobs which can be moved. now would people recommend do this mod and how hard would it be? now people maybe asking about engine mods? Now this is me being a bit controversial, but i dont see the point in doing engine mods on a small car like this. for 3 reasons. 1. max speed in UK is 70MPH 2. its not a track car 3.it doesnt need to be fast especially how light it is anyway. i like to think this would be a great project and a car which in the end i feel will turn heads. thanks Reedo
