  1. Cheers guys Not too much, I had to make some brackets to mount the gti seat rail to, which bolted to where the rear Lupo runners are and into the factory seat mount at front Rears Fronts means you can still use all the height adjustments on the gti seat plus they sit a lot lower
  2. UPDATE Wheels are now fitted Still need to tweek the ride height but cant go any lower on front atm as need a notch, which will be happening in May. Also getting some wider spacers for the rear and spacing fronts a little more to fill arch Cheers Aaron

    Has anyone fitted 16x8 et 25 on front of none none gti Lupo? I know rears will fit with arch work but not sure about fronts Any one able to help? Cheers Aaron
  4. ive triend to look for gti parts but they seem very hard to come by and i guess they are very expensive from vw
  5. Ive seen a few people with black sunvisors, rear view mirrors and grab handles I was wondering if these parts were all lupo parts or from other car within the vag range. Could anyone help? Cheers Aaron

    Decat

    How many people are running decats and still pass emissions for mot? Im in two minds whether to get one shortly or save at bit longer and get a sport cat too Cheers
  8. Little bit of an update I have started work fitting my bmc and pipe work to front of car. I still have a bit to do including fitting catch tank too and making an engine cover. Ignore how dirty engine bay is, in desperate need of a clean and a lick of paint. When i was routing around in the engine bay I noticed that not only way my drive shaft is rubbing on the chassis but always near the back of the block. Anyone got any ideas about helping this? I will be getting a notch soon but not sure how to solve the issue of the drive shaft rubbing further in, maybe an engine raise? On the plus side going to pick up some new wheels tomorrow if don't get snowed in. Cheers Aaron
  9. loving the false floor, how did you secure it to the car?
  10. I brought a sport lower valance with some fogs already in.
  11. Ugly? I wouldn't say that. It's better than following the crowd and having something that has been done on the majority or vag cars in the scene
  12. Ok, so what has been happening since getting rid of the rotas Of course i had to get a new set of wheels, so i went for a set of Cades Jadis to tie me over till I find some new wheels. 15x7 et 30 wrapped in bridgestone 165/50s The night after fitting them Still needed to tweek the ride height and put some bigger spacers on Car stayed like this for a while, went for a quick little shoot with my mate Check out http://slammedia.net/ for more of their work Shortly after this I got a set of FK rear lower springs and dampers. Meaning an extra bit of drop for the rear and the front was tweaked slightly to bring it level. Also some spacers for the rear. A picture from leaving T2d Breakfast meet showing off new ride height Then I got MK5 GTI front seats with retrimmed rear Lupo bench to match Recently I got my front plate recess smoothed, retro fitted fogs to the front, twin rear fogs, smoked front indicators and removed helper springs. Desperately need chassis notch now. Sorry but I don't have any pictures of the bumper fitted just one from when I got it back from body shop. Will add some more pictures in the New Year when the weather starts to brighten up. Got a few engine goodies on the way too so there will be pics of them too Cheers Aaron Sorry for such a long time since updating
  13. Update after over a year of waiting As you can all guess the rotas never went through... well i ran them for a week. The rears fitted fine but fronts just looked stupid and i didnt want to maul my front arches. So i sold up on them and went back to looking for something new and different. More updates to follow shortly Aaron

    Fog lights

    i built my own loom when i retrofitted fogs (used a guide on here) and used a headlight switch with front and rear fogs. To have twin rear fogs i ran a cable that links fog light from right hand light to plug on left hand light and added a fog light bulb to left light cluster.
  15. Bolted to original ruunners
  16. Best pics i can get Rear - bar is bolted across runners and onto where lupo seat slides into Front - L shapped bracket bolted across gti seat runner and bolted into original lupo mounting point Hope this helps
  17. The thickness off the brackets. I used 5mm steel bar for rear and 4mm L shape bar for front of runners.
  18. this could be very helpful mines never worked in the 3 years ive had my lupo
  19. ive got them in mine and ive still got original mk5 runners but with custom brackets to use lupo mounting points
  20. Black lupo slammed, roof rack, checkered roof heading towards Ely on A142 at about half 2 on 4th September. Anyone on here?
