The GTi hub carrier is different to regular Lupos. @Rich might have one? The vdub breakers in Thame/Biscester area has a few. There's also a specialist vdub breakers in Southampton. Can't remember the names of either but you'll find them online...
Thanks, I'll check them out

Is anyone breaking a lupo and have a front bearing housing or know where I can get one? Thanks
-
I have the original Lupo GTI catback exhaust system for sale. I have upgraded the exhaust so it is no longer required. Collection only from Derby
£100 ono

It been a long time since I updated this, the car got put to the side as I had other things to pay for unfortunately.
There has only really been one upgrade since I was last here. I've wanted a kam racing exhaust for years and I've finally bit the bullet and got one.
I'm actually a little disappointed how quiet it is, I've seen videos of others that have it fitted and they seem to sound a bit louder and nicer. Maybe I was expecting too much for just a catback.

Yeah very straight forward fit. Just make sure you get the adaptor to fit on to the existing exhaust
Thanks for the reply, yeah I had seen you could include the adaptor, just not 100% sure I'm confident doing it myself. Your GTI is incredibly btw, absolute goals.

Couple of changes made to the car, I’ve been after a set of 15” ATS DTC’s for a long time now. Since they don’t make them anymore in the correct size they are very hard to come by. A set come up for sale in one of the FB pages I’m in, they were in Belgium but I had to have them, he agreed to post them. Fast forward a few days later and they are on the car, they will be getting a refurb in a month or so but I thought I’d wear out the AD08R’s they came on first.
I’ve also fitted a new exhaust from Kam Racing that I’ve been waiting for a while now. It sounds great, will leave some pictures and video’s below.
I'm just about to order the kam racing exhaust. How easy was it to fit, straight swap from the original? Did you need any other new parts?

its a catback
Thanks, just need to find somewhere in Derby area to fit it and I'll get it ordered.
-
Cheers for the reply, I know that they sell them separately. I just can't work out if the exhaust is literally just the backbox or if it is catback
-
I've been looking at getting the kam racing exhaust system (I'd love to get the manifold too but can't afford/justify the cost).
Is this system just a backbox or a catback like the janspeed or bastuck?
I'm just trying to figure out if it's worth purchasing.

I'm having a similar problem to this in my GTI. It will unlock with the fob but wont lock. the interior like is also staying on. If it is a fuse which one would it be? thanks.

Finally got them on the car.
Had to raise the back up as I couldn't even move it without it scrubbing.
-
I'm still going, I'd prefer to meet up in a car park near by as I won't be going past Chatsworth to get there.
-
I've only ever been to Lowdown once but it was a good meet.
I'd be up for a Lupo mini meet around Sheffield
-
I'll be going from Wingerworth so could meet people going from Chesterfield.

Thanks Piers, didn't have these on the car at all this summer due to lack of money.
Hopefully have it looking half decent for next summer.

Finally got round to building the wheels up.
Think I'm going to order some wider dishes for the back.
Should have them on for next summer.
