  3. Hi there guys, This has been long overdue by me really! Been a proud Lupo owner for just over a year now and have been currently browsing the forums since before i had my car haha just never got round to making an account. Anyways, here is my Lupo! Bought the car late last year for £850 it had covered around 54000 miles and had five owners! and it was in a pretty bad way to be fair but it was good enough to be my first car! The bodywork was not the best, interior was nasty all the seats and drivers footwell were covered in fag burns, head lining had some strange blood/rust looking stain and the speedo didnt work! But all in all it was very local to me which was rare (never any lupos around here ) and i pretty much loved the car as soon as i saw it so yeah haha here is the build thread of my car, a lot has changed over this year but here goes: Apologies as majority of my pictures are taken from my iPhone (mainly instagram) if you have instagram follow me! @dom_vw <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dominicwilliams/8268025026/" title="IMG_0060 by DominicWilliams, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8357/8268025026_f3b3eecfdf_z.jpg" width="640" height="480" alt="IMG_0060"></a> Car a week or so after owning it completely standard <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dominicwilliams/8268025500/" title="IMG_0071 by DominicWilliams, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8071/8268025500_abf90b4801_z.jpg" width="640" height="480" alt="IMG_0071"></a> BMX Roadtrip me and a few friends and my mates Polo went on to Wirksworth not long after having my car <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dominicwilliams/8266957529/" title="IMG_0072 by DominicWilliams, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8501/8266957529_1f8d35389c_z.jpg" width="640" height="480" alt="IMG_0072"></a> Who says you cant fit 6 BMX's in a lupo? <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dominicwilliams/8266960273/" title="IMG_0260 by DominicWilliams, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8357/8266960273_a5e8419e62_z.jpg" width="640" height="480" alt="IMG_0260"></a> Bit of a bump!

  4. Does anyone know of/used any good london or south east based car upholsterers good at retrimming, looking to get a GTI redone...
  5. Okay, I recently fitted my new pioneer DEH1400UB and had no problems except it not remembering its settings, so I swapped over the yellow and red power wires as suggested on the Internet, and bam... Sudden power cut. I checked the fuse under the steering wheel to find it broken, so replaced it accordingly and start the engine again.. And what happens? Still no power... I have looked under the hood and every single fuse in the car but no other breaks, can anyone help?! Thanks!
  6. Hi, I'm planning to go to Germany this year in my 1.4 Lupo, but just for a laugh I want a loud exhaust for the trip! I've already looked at cherry bombs but I think they'd be too loud! Ideally I'm looking for something cheap, doesn't require me cutting into the standard exhaust and will just make it sound louder! any ideas? thanks from Lewis
  7. Last year i purchased a lupo GTI from scotland, yes thats right, scotland. So after a plane, bus, train and taxi journey with my boyfriend, we arrived and took a chance on this bloody car, biggest impulse buy of my life, but what a treat i got! The car did'nt show great signs at first, in the first 5 mins of looking at the car, the body work was a tad shabby, the handle to pop the bonnet snapped off in my hand, the engine bay ws horrific, the boot looked like it had been smooth by a retard, which had rusted and cracked all round, to be fair the lady was ovbiously a beast on photoshop, as the car in the advert pictures made it look immaculate! I bought it any for very cheap! We then had to face the 9 hour drive back to england, in a car we barely new, no biggy. In scotland When i brought her, day after, new coilies on, chillin with the mk5! got bored on black winter wheels, went with purple... new induction kit in purple & new engine cover, whole engine bay needs a good scrub! chillin' prepping & cleaning for Ultimate dubs!! Best Sticker...... Auto Glym Sesssssshion!! glittery mirror & leather interor! so this is my boot i picked at it... alot!!! second layer of filler, after i de rusted it and cleaned it all up! all done now boot is ready for the next stage... ooossssh Great shot from down shift from the South Meets VIP BBQ 2 HavAir Another amazing shot at recent South Meet VIP BBQ @ HavAir Lupo @ Prept Brands Hatch, Chillin', this was the last time she was out before going to Dsign Vinyl!!! day before she goes to dsign vinyl, new bonnet bra! got a suprise in the post today, 20m of my vinyl @ Dsign Vinyl, fully clay barred the car & smoothed out the dent on the top of the door, ready for wrapping first door wrapped, looks balla bonnet fully wrapped nearly there boots had final sand down for perfection reasons & bumper been wrapped, very happy so far! grill & number plate off, cleaned all the **** off of everything, de greased everything, this car have never had so much love & attention!
  8. Just got a new coilpack fitted yesterday and the car seems to be running on 2 cylinders, it's worse than before the coilpack replacement. Can anybody take a photo of their engine bay so I can see the order of the leads? Thinking it might be a rookie mistake. Driving a 1.4 Sport, not sure if that makes a difference though... cheers!
  9. okay so, i had this crazy idea that putting a motorbike end can on my arosa would be a good idea o.O... just wondering if any1 else has done it and how did it turn out? also does putting a reducer on the exhaust effect performance much? .. the exhaust behind the back box has a diamater of 1.75" but the exhaust i have lieing around is only like 1.275" would it effect it much and would it make the straight thru exhaust end can quieter?
  10. Hi there, I'm looking to buy 2nd hand GTI alloys for my 1.4, is there anyone with any for sale? I've looked on classifieds but just thought I'd ask on the forums! preferably in decent condition and colour doesn't matter! thanks from Lewis

  13. Constantly seeing a blue Lupo outside the ASDA in Grangemouth, thinking the person possibly works there? I'd like to know who the driver is!
  14. Hello all! Been on here a few months but decided i should share my lupo with the world (of lupo owners!) So its a 2001 1.0 Litre yellow lupo. i bought it for a great price but i figured it needed some money spending on it to make it a good runner. i bought it for the mpg i could get however im having the infamous cranksensor/ limp mode/ engine warning light issues. i figure it is the egr sensor? i replaced the other sensor a couple of months ago and also cleaned the throttle body/ air filter and did an oil change. This seemed to help but alas the problem has returned and im just living with it. Anyways when i got her the right passanger side front panal is a pressed plate and slightly different colour. i figured i could live with it but ultimatly i want to replace it with an oem in the same colour code. So i am gonna try posting what i have done from the day i got my car and what i plan on doing. Any comments or suggestions welcome, if you have any criticisms all are welcome. The Day i got her! Was given these by a friend so decided to run them! 185/55/15 bigger profile than i would like but for free who can complain??!
  15. Good evening all! I've been around on this forum for quite a while now and thought I would introduce myself and my little car now I have some photos and stuff done to it! Bought her actually a couple of years ago now before I passed my test, 35000 miles on the clock for £1900 and in sweet condition! She stayed standard for like agesss 'cause I was a poor/lazy A level student with no job. But lo and behold I've joined the 9 to 5 crew and finally have MONIES. So pic of her standard when I bought her So far mods are: Lowered 40mm Spax springs Crap Vibe subwoofer thing & Sony head unit (needed my choonage) Black Badges (upside down back one 'cause it kinda resembled an 'M' ) De-wipered rear Mudflappers ... and that's about it. PLANS: Coilies Wheels Door mirrors - got some cheeky little chrome bullet style ones already, pic up soon. Colour code bumpers Thinking of some custom graphics hmm.. Some more shiny stuff Enough speech, here she is as of now ....and you may ask why "Nody" - my dyslexic friend attempted to write "Noddy" on the back of my car but missed out a 'd' so Nody she became. Teehee. Ciao.Mx
  16. Is this possible? Cause the first owner debadged the front and i want the 16 badge back. Seat ones are practically a needle in a haystack. Help!?
  17. I saw a silver lupo that was slammed near a morrisons in dunstable/luton with black rims (looked like porsche twists at a quick glance) but not sure. drove past me i was in a bola green arosa with a illest sticker in the front window and a bonnet bra. just wondering if it was anybody on here!
  18. Hi I was driving my 1.4 lupo to work the other day and I noticed the battery light flash on and off a few times it didn't do it again until the next day but when it did the car was fine until I was driving home from work. The battery light flashed for a long time and when I slowed down/stopped the car at traffic lights the intieror lights would flash on and of sometimes my car would almost reset its self, I was then stuck in traffic because of snow when I was on the last road home it was severely icy so I stopped and turned the ignition off, I turned my ignition on again and nothing my car was completely dead, I then got a jump start to get home and then my engine light came on it was confusing as it was only m.o.t'd a month ago now my car wont start at all and starts to make strange noises whenever I have tried to start it again all lights come on, if I put.my key in and turn the lights on the front lights are dim but then interior is fine, if I then turn the ignition on the interior lights turn off, I haven't got a clue what has happened to the car.
  19. Right so i bought my self A set of, Cades eros alloy wheels for my 1999 vw lupo 1.4 16 v Here they are: they are 15" x 6.5, 100 x 4 with et 30. the issue i'm having is actually with the front wheels. when the wheels are mounted to the front they actually hang over the bell and have actually ground the pads and the inside of the wheels away. Why this is happening I don't know. it has me absolutely baffled. Measurements have been took of the pads and the discs and everything are the sizes that they should be. any advice would be appreciated. Thanks guys

I tell her it looks crap but she wont listen!!! Lupo Spec: 1.4 16v 100bhp momo 15" alloys split spoiler headlight brows standard suspension standard exhaust Some pics for you; I try my best to convince her to get new wheels at least.... she wanted to at one point, nearly had some bbs rx's but the guy sold them to someone else after we had agreed to come collect them, got there and they'd gone... Anyways on to my Ibiza "Stealthrider". Ibiza Spec: 1.4 16v 100bhp "Sportrider" 16" BBS rx2's Black centres with rims colour coded to the car BMC CDA Seat Sport strut brace Led bulbs where they can be Pressed Plates TT pedals S2000 Aeriel Pics before and after bbs

  25. hey guys im brad, and this was charlie #1 until his clutch broke and was too much for my to afford alongside my insurance renewal.. My old corsa before that: 1.2 petrol (photoshopped but how i would've got it) My old arosa before the corsa: 1.7 sdi My living room when i had this My DERV Corsa: 1.7 CDTI But enough of my old cars, here's Charlie #2 - my 1.4 lupo: Spec List (I will update this as it goes along) -75hp version - Pop out windows - FK highsports - Now sold as i needed it higher for where i live - Remapped - BMC CDA air filter - GTI injectors + inlets - Manky oil breather (will be replaced soon) - Snowflakes for wheels (i'm getting new ones at some point) - GIANT EXHAUST (see picture) The day i collected it: After a good clean: Then came some lovely photos with my camera.. And then came the steelies (that got rusted onto in a matter of 3 weeks which are now gone) Anyone who knows me, or has met me will know i'm amazing at parking. (Bluewater meet) Excuse the crappy quality of this but i wanted to try a bonnet bra on, and luckily jay had one to lend me Since then i've had some bad luck, as in wrecked the bottom of my car + exhaust completely as well as taking chunks from my front bumper, as of which i have sold my fk highsports which i couldn't adjust as they are a bit unlooked after. But here's some more pics of the car with my girlfriends car whilst im doing the suspension. I have more progress on my phone etc but i will upload in time. I will post plans if asked. Look forward to hear from you!
