Okay so I've been looking forward to this post and i thought i would show you. I was going to keep it a secret till after fittedUK but can't wait that long, need to keep you guys in the loop and all that ;)

So at the weekend the driver side seat was fitted after searching high and low for the part i needed to fix this seat, it came to the surface that i needed to spend £245 on a new left hand side rail motor for the little part i needed.... Nah your good audi....

Julian the friend that is the mastermind behind the audi seat fitting, came up with a genius plan to add some weld into the mix and also a few files and well.... he's a legend and pulled it of and fixed the piece.... Picccccctures!

Thats the final product and it fits nice and snug into the motor and works a treat.... ok ok I've kept you waiting long enough...

Brings a tear to my eye.... Looks so rad and probably the most comfortable seat I've sat in!!

This weekend the seats will be plumbed in so the electrics will work fully :)

Now just to finish the boot build and Finish up the little loose ends in the car in time for FittedUK!

A big thank you to julian for all the help he has given towards this pretty silly idea!

litre update before a bigg'un at the weekend. Had a little trip up the M1 to meet Amber and her beautiful car Alva, shame alva was in the paint shop so i couldn't see it in the flesh! hopefully next season Amber!!

Also got some black seat belts and lower centre console of my buddy josh at the dub club meet which was stupidly rad for a local meet every wednesday! if anyone is near birmingham/converty on a wednesday night its defiantly worth the trip!

Also got a arose sport centre console which will look dope when i get my new dials!

Pictures!....

First of saturday, its started with the thermostat breaking and over heating the whole engine, so a trip to the local part and new one is brought and fitted within the a couple of hours...

The carpet i picked up in the week from Amber, the lovely owner of the most beautiful lupo in my eyes, Alva! Thank you again Amber!!

So stripping out the inside was a bit of a ball ache but ohhh it will be worth it!

Black carpet finally! every Lupo should have this as standard! 10x better looking! alright back to fitting

Super clean finished and coming out of the heated seat/airbag slit int he carpet for that OEM finish.

Seat brackets all painted up at the same time so they merge into the rest of the car.

Male and Female caps on the ends so for a easy pop in pop out fitment if i ever want to change the seats.
