LupoBoi Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 (edited) I only just got around to starting one of these for my Lupo. She's a 1.4 S 75bhp. I have done a few things to it so far but only things that don't cost anything I brought her back in December for £2700, 52k on clock, 1 owner from new, full vw service history. 8 services in 7 years Good price??Things done so far:• Debadged back• Dewipered• Wind deflectors• Fitted head unit and front door speakers• Put a few stickers on• Fitted universal air filter• New bulbs and sidelightsThere is still loads of things that I want to do to make it how I want it to be.• Slam her (not sure what coilies to get thou)• New rims as steels are not the way forward (looking at Cades Eros 15" with 165/50s) then get the steels banded to 7" front n 8" rear • Smooth boot• White roof• Tinted headlights• Smooth bonnet n debadge grillIf anyone else got any ideas just let me knowHere are a few picsAaron Edited March 29, 2013 by LupoBoi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One life. Live it! Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 Be a good project for you! I'd be tempted to get Cambridge back lights too. Be good to add an amp and sub to compliment your new head unit and speakers upfront. (and obligatory sound deadening in doors etc)Theres a good thread on here looking at coilovers that people have tried too. Good luck!

LupoBoi Posted April 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 (edited) As my lupo didnt have rear speakers i have customised the rear door cards to house some here is my progress so farjust waiting for the fabric to turn up to cover them, the parcel shelf, front upper door cards and the part above the dials what does everyone think, will look better once coveredAaron Edited April 29, 2010 by LupoBoi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LupoBoi Posted July 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 (edited) My coilovers have arrived!!!!!!!!AP SportfahrwerkeFitted them over two evenings after work.First was the rear (Left the rear adjuster on the highest setting because had to drive to work in the morning and didnt want too much rear rake)Then did the front. During (Think arches need a clean) sorry about blurry picAll done just needs to settle n get the alignment doneAlso took the rear adjusters out to match the front Omg i cant believe how easy it was to change the whole suspension think i need to lower the front down a tad moreAny thoughts so far?Had my alignment done yesterday. Feels a million times better seeing as the steering wheel was about 30 degrees to the left and i was running 3 degree of camber on the front drivers side wheel HAHAIll add some more pictures soon once has settledJust need some new wheels as selling the merc alloys now. Also the rear door cards are back to normalAny ideas on how to get the rear lower?? Edited July 15, 2010 by LupoBoi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LupoBoi Posted July 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 Just a little updateThought would crack on and finially do the boot build. Was fed up of the sub n amp sliding about around the boot.Nice and simple but sounds awsomeSo happy with how it looks I was fed up of rolling on rusty steels n hubcaps.A lick of paint later and this what they turned out like.Will get some more pics up as soon as they back on the carCheers Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
