The polo handle has a which inside which then activates a popper inside the polo latch

I'm just gathering all the bits to add a polo 6R boot handle into the bootlid of my lupo. The biggest issue I'm having at the moment is figuring out how to get the polos handle (microswitch) to work with my non central locking lupo. Has anyone got any ideas? Thanks

Another 2 1/2 years have rolled bye without an update. Major updates Fitted a set of Porsche 997 front seats in Agate grey were fitted, and then had the rear seast, door cards, Recaro rear headrest and lupo gti steering wheel wrapped in matching Porsche leather. We finally got the Ipad mini finished off; audio is running via wifi to an Audison Bit Ten D processor. Then last summer I finally opted for air suspension, in the end we went for airlift front struts and Hp Drivetech rear bags and dampers, running of 3/8 Airlift V2 Hopefully get to a few more European shows this year, I’ll try keep you updated.

Upgrading the brakes on a GTI
REDLooP replied to patroddy's topic in Car Care, Maintenance and Mechanical
But you have more surface area of disk per rotaion of the wheel for the pad to clam onto. On your basis everyone might aswell have 200mm disks and just really big brake pads. -

Well having a bigger discs gives your pad a larger circumference to clamp on to, in theory giving you the same advantage as having a bigger pad. -

Its because of the large disk 280 v 256. This allows more heat to be dissipated due to being a large surface area, plus their's more surface area for the pad to be in contact with the disc over one turn of the wheel. Theirs not many options for the rear, have a look at the ibiza cupra r rear brakes, or go 5 stud, this brings lots of possibilities -
