So where would one look for how to guides to engine conversions..? I'm thinking of turboing a lupo! :))

Guess what arrived today! An engine cover and airbox! 😂😂

Whatcha mean rich?

So looks like the seller of the airbox and engine cover has infact ripped me off. I've found another engine cover so I only need an airbox now.. anyone have one??

I'll see if there are anymore about. 👍

I'm happy to pay for it btw.. I don't thinks the radio is worth that much! 😂

Top man.. Thanks. 👍

Don't suppose you'd have and engine cover and airbox to go with that pipework @Rich I'm getting a bad vibe from the other seller I've been dealing with. I'll pm you me details now or the pipe work. 👍

Don't suppose anyone has one of these?

Done deal.. Consider yourself the proud new owner of a VW Gamma Minidisc player!

Does anyone know if the polo 6n2 Gti intake pipework will fit the lupo Gti? I've found an engine cover and an airbox without the pipework.. The 1st pic below is from a 6n2 Gti The 2nd pic is from a Lupo Gti..

I'm in Ireland.. let me check if it works next time I'm in the garage. It won't get all the stations without a band expander though. As it's set for Japanese radio frequencies.

I'll post a pic tomorrow

I have one in one of the lupos.. gamma mini disc too!

As I can't seem to find an engine cover and airbox.. looks like I'll have to go this route It's 2018 and are the suggestions still CDA intake as weapon of choice? Search function is returning some old ass results so not sure what's best today.. Any help appreciated

I import Lupo gtis from Japan. On the whole they've been very good examples. Some have come in with silly electrical mods which have been easily rectified. The mechanical mods are generally no more extreme than a set of Coilovers and a Catback.. I do have one in at the minute that has Coilovers, Induction kit, Oil catch can, ECU tune and aftermarket alloys.. Its actually a great little car to drive. But the main thing all these imports have in common is the overall condition. They are literally like 2-3 year old cars. Super clean underneath, virtually no rust. Personally, I would by a car from Japan over a car from the UK everytime. My Last 3 cars have been from Japan. (BMW e39 525 individual, Audi B6 A4 Avant Sportec edition, Vw Golf Gti Pirelli Edition) Im not sure where the idea comes from that all Japanese car owners are boy racers..? There is almost 130m people in Japan. Kind of a sweeping statement Japan is the home to so much exotica and run of the mill that it makes it a car lovers dream and if you chose not to explore this as an option I feel thats an opportunity missed.

@Bems I have found a set of the VW 80mm centre caps... But theyre 4 prong and my old BBS caps are three prong... The seller says theyll fit. Can you put up pics of the backs of the caps you have? thanks

So no speakers in the rear of the gti?

Sorry.. I'm lost. What is it that guy is selling? 😂

Anyone got a link for a replacement front VW badge..? Mine is black and I need to swap it out.. I'm sure VW want a silly amount for one .

Ben's.... Sell me your VW caps please!! I can't find any..

cheers. but those are caps and not stickers.. and i cant find a set of 77mm stickers.. only 74/75mm ones.

cheers for the explanation. Ill probably go the g60 route as you say. seems like less hassles

One of my plastic caps has all three prongs missing.. so i deffo need 1 replacement. But I like that idea.. any links to 80mm stickers?
