How much was the cup holder?

With the rear smooth handle and install popper or if you can mk5 handle, could always shorten the recess and get the small pressed plates

Hmm possibly or thinking of cutting down a gti grill to fit the standard surround maybe

As mentioned after one of these for a project, anyone got one spare? Thanks Shane

Hmm, would of thought someone would of done this or there would be a replica out seems to be gti lookalike products for every other vw lol. That ones close but really don't wanna debadge front end. Thanks Shane

Tried searching abit but kept getting debadged grills come up instead. Is there a honeycomb grill (gti style) for the non gtis? I know the gti one wont fit but wondering if any aftermarket ones were made as looking to possibly change to one instead of colour coding/debadgeing Thanks Shane

Not a lupo but mine:

As mentioned her work is doing all the paintwork free of charge so it can always be changed if it looks rubbish, the silver grill is to help the purple detailing stand out more. Wheels are hockenheim style wheels, similar looking to these: Thanks Shane

Is that a better fit/look then? If you could do me a close up pic over pm if you don't wanna show the dirt would really appreciate it please. Thanks Shane

Silver, it doesn't and it does really don't like the recess around it and if I was gunna worry about smoothing things then would go whole hog with mk5 handle so need simple option. The badges will be painted same colour as the wheels when they get redone with the badge backing colour coded Thanks Shane

Ah I thought it mite be the switch & a badge separate not a whole unit bugger would love to go mk5 handle but not my car to do it on. So basically gunna have to go back to oem lupo badge? I take it the plastic/rubber surround could be colour coded silver to not make it stand out so much?

Removed original badge on girlfriends lupo as with the black rubber surround thing it looks terrible IMO, went for the sharan badge option but now the recess around is bugging me. Is there any others that are a better fit? Looked at mk5 handles as they seem about the same size as the lupo but without the rubber surround? Pics of what others have done would be great. Thanks Shane

Looking good mate, I doubt it will crack, if you had used just filler then yeah but not with the glass doing the main filling.

Thanks for advice mate gunna speak to few people I know about spraying costs tomorrow and see which option works out cheaper. Thanks Shane

Because the longer one got broke after it was removed >.< would love to get door painted but costs would just be too much

Basically went to de rubstrip her car today, one side was fine all done went to start on the other side and found the paint under the strip was crap all bubbled and chipped so now looks like gunna have to get some more and refit them, just wondering if anyone knows the price of both strips? and wether they can be bought painted or not? Thanks Shane

Ignore this

One of the ideas am toying with is painting the front and back vw badges (and possibly vw on center caps) in same colours as will be doing the wheels. centercaps will be hand painted I'd imagine and front badge looks pretty easy, but the back badge confuses me as it seems to be made up of 2 pieces and not sure how to split them as would like to do the black bit silver to match the car, anyone? Also would be interested to see any ones other people have done The alloys we are looking are 7jX15 with ET38 would these be an ok fit? As don't wanna have to roll the arches, also what would be the lowest it could go on these without causing problems? Thanks Shane

Haven't had a reply mate?

Any updates on the pics of the interior mate?

I think I recognise your car from Bristol Volksfest, was there in my car (Silver A3 on the sonic frontiers audio stand) Thanks Shane

Thanks for the advice guys, may have found some dished polo alloys in need of a refurb local to me, they are 7js thinking about maybe running some 175s on them for little bit of stretch.

Looking at things for the girlfriends new car (52 plates silver lupo 1.4s) and would like some advice, I have had a look round and started off with what I knew was bit of debadging on the rear and pressed plates (ordering soon) plan is: -new springs (want it low but useable as her daily driver, also on budget so collies are abit much) -new wheels (something with a little bit of dish, maybe stretched tyres too) -bit of camber -Possibly match the VW badges if go for coloured wheels -reiger front splitter, cc the back lower bumper and abt sidesirts -Interior changed for a darker grey/black one -Audio will be taken care of by Sonic Frontiers Basically after some opinions on the plans. Would also like some recommendations on the springs, wheels & camber shims please. Thanks Shane

Hi I'm Shane I'm from bristol, I don't own a lupo myself but the girlfriend has just bought one so thought maybe a good idea to sign up here to learn abit more about them and whats available for them. Few of you may know me as I recognised some names from Talkaudio & Vagowners Thanks Shane

Did you manage to get some pics up? May be interested in some of the interior trim and the wheels Thanks Shane
