Them wheels look spot on. Standard bathursts are great but these are even better!

What suspension you running and how much you lowered by?

Thanks! ^_^... I'm running the original suspension with shorter springs from H&R. They make the car about 30 mm lower.

It's sure come a long way since you've had it!

What can I say, I think it looks just perfect, but I am biased with those wheels... Hopefully mine will be looking very similar in a few weeks' time :)

 

Any further plans for it?

It surely has :lol:... Thanks, I'm certain yours will look perfect too!

I think that we might actually be the only anthracite Lupo owners with BBS 814 rims B) (or at least the only ones I know of :P)

 

At this point there are only a few minor things that I have planned for it. The first is the antenna.. I want to get the original one!

Very nice! Little bit jealous of the glovebox too! I also notice you have heated cloth seats, we only got heated with leather seats in the UK. Oh and ESP too!

Thank you! Yeah, those are the pros of owning a German spec GTI B)...

Therefore you guys got 8 speakers as standard!.. finding them in Germany was quite a pain :blink:

So it has been a while since I last updated this page... Some progress has been made over the past months: 

The Lupo's now fitted with a Bilstein B12 kit. On top of that, the antenna has been swapped with an original one, the break callipers have been re-painted and the car now has spacers in the rear.

 

Here are a few pics I took today along with my brothers '01 GTI ;).

Car's looking very nice, I bet it rides perfectly on the Bilstein's :thumbsup:

Also the silver one looks very well kept too, good job!

 

There's not much more to do to your car anymore, is there? :lol:

Glad to hear that! The Bilstein kit definitely made a positive difference in terms of handling ?

- Thanks?, the silver one's completely original except for a Bilstein kit as well.

 

Haha!, that's true... The only thing bugging me at the moment is the front bumper. It's got quite a lot of stone chip damage and could do with a respray... Might get that sorted over the winter ?
