Thanks guys. The car came with an aftermarket double-din Pioneer stereo that's locked to Japanese, a TV antenna under the passenger seat and front and rear driving cameras that would speak to me in Japanese whenever I turned on the ignition. All removed now. - Replaced the headunit with a single din Blaupunkt Madrid and one of those cubbyholes to take up the space. I'm not a big fan of screens in cars - so wanted to keep it simple. - Spent an absolute age removing the glue residue that was left behind from the rear window tints and from those wind deflectors. - Ordered all the parts for the timing belt, incl tools and new tyres. Waiting for the postman to arrive. I'll take a bunch of photos once the belt is done and after I've given it a proper clean. I have to say, the suspension does feel incredibly soft. I'm wondering if the shocks are just old or if it's norrmal. I would like to stiffen it up a little with a new set of shocks and perhaps 30mm lowering springs. Normally I'd fit coilovers, but I'd like to keep this car as standard as possible.

Amazing, thanks mk2! I'll try to find some and go from there. Apparently the car has after market up rated speakers in but the passenger side is starting to go a little crackly and I'm not 100% the drivers side works 😫

The standard door speakers in vdubs from '98 to around '08 are actually some of the best they ever fitted- if they still work. Before replacing them with an 'upgrade', try replacing them with the same from a breakers yard. From Golf, Phaeton, Passat, Polo or Bora, but check that the plug is the same type to make your life easier. Oh, and you can buy a plug-in bluetooth module that allows you to control the standard old head unit from your phone. Works really well.

Hi all, I'm a proud owner of a 1.4 lupo E in Hampshire, hope you're all well 😃 Looking for ideas on sound systems / sub woofers? I don't want anything to dramatic, something that takes away the tinny noise and adds some bass? Thank you.

Hi everyone! Not much happened since last bump, but it's vacation time, and after two years I came back to the Nürburgring to enjoy the Eifels and give the last push to the car there. Hope you enjoy it!

Any update Tigz? 🤣
