So after a long time of not writing much about the Black Lupo Se. I decide to buy a GTI (I am still keeping the Lupo SE as a daily). After not much searching I came across this example. A deal was struck and it arrived yesterday.

When I got it. Plenty to do.

So after a hover, de-sticker, de-carbon wrap, de-tint, and clean of the bay. It scrubbed up well. (I have washed it since)

The main reason for buying though...

Nice to see someone else with more than one Lupo! It looks a good example that already has a few mods. Do you know what exhaust it's got?

Standard. As far as I am aware.

Title was confusing at first, but good base for a GTI!

Thank you

The exhaust tips look bigger and thinner than the standard ones.

Hmm. Strange one. I have had a look through the service history (what I have) and there is no mention about an exhaust.

Anyway I have just put the standard seats back in. Much better now (old ones will be up for sale shortly)

Wet, hey! Welcome!

Tips could just look different 'cause they're dirty! Give them a good clean and post another pic's.

PS nice colour!

Will do silver at some point. I have spent most of Saturday and sunday getting to this stage.

Further to Johns question about the exhaust. They have exhaust tips on them - I have no idea why on this one. Anyway more work done.

All stickers have been removed. Number plate holders removed - which I discovered the plates where held on with tape in the past and has partly scratched the paint - grrr. But otherwise quite clean. Also found some correct rear headrests now. Still trying to clean the arches - very hard when wheels are in the way but a lot of mud came out the rear PAS.

Nice gti! Best colour imo

It's coming along nicely.

Thanks. Both cars have been causing me problems this month - Gti may have a coolant leak, the Black one well it needed a front new exhaust section, check strap and had a small oil leak. I will persevere!

Ok. At present the GTI is in for paint. Having the rear spoiler, tailgate, number plate section on the rear bumper and lower front valence repainted. The black lupo is back to full health. Needed new wheel bearings.

Also managed (with help from my dad), to get those silly exhaust tips off. During and after a good clean.

Nice to see it being restored to original spec. I'm doing the same with mine at the moment.

Thanks John. Its very close. Still a few things to do though. Bought a 6 CD changes (as it should have). A few other little pieces. Still need the correct gearknob.

This answers my question i asked a while ago, they are tips after all. Do they come off easily? What's the diameter of one?

The GTI has tips welded on. These where added on by a former owner. They where a pain in the butt to get off. The clamps where rusted. They are very distorted so I cannot give you a diameter.

Nice to see one being returned to standard as has been said, not wishing to offend those who like to mod their GTIs but with their relative rarity it's good to see one being left alone :thumbsup: says me with one that's been lowered :tongueout:

Thanks Mate. It is hard to get those difficult parts but I am working on it.

Well. I have been doing the shows (shame about the lack of lupos at the shows I have been too....) But anyway, the GTi won best watercooled at Spit & Polish. Really chuffed.
