davidelliott294 Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 (edited) Alrighty,This is my second Lupo. Previously owned a Lupo 1.0 E before owning the Polo 1.0 E and now currently own a GTI .I'm well happy I got it. I'm a student so unless I get a job (I've been searching and applying for months) progress will be slow.Anyway, this is gonna be the build thread for my car. I have a good plans for it such as;CoiloversDe-tango the rear lightsPossibly mud flaps? Undecided - apparently the bring up stones and ****?Wheels - Only if I get a job. Most likely Rota Zeros, BBS or Schmidt TH Lines.BMC CDA.But before any that happens the bad bits are getting seen to first.Here are a few snaps:Follow me on instagram if you've got it: davidelliott294Cheers Edited August 11, 2013 by davidelliott294 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidelliott294 Posted September 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 First mod: Raised exhaust.Put a bolt through the flat plate straight up into the flooring of the boot. The flat plate is just before the pipes. Makes a big difference and should have came factory raised up. Cheeky picture: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hakster Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 Not the best way of raising the exhaust tbh, the whole weight of the exhaust is now resting on that one bolt, which will eventually bend and break through the floor.A better way to do it would be to heat the pipes up where it joins the back box and bend them upwards...
