welding... tbh its worth just buying a new one because if you ever knock it itll just pop it open again most VW sumps are surprisingly thin lupoboz on here will be able to get you a genuine one for cheaper than stealer prices EDIT: sump would have to come off to be repaired anyway so another reason to just get a new one, peace of mind IMO

If its gonna be a long term thing maybe worth getting a small generator so youre not draining your battery? I know they're expensive but may pay off in the long run if you're using it for camping all the time with regards to the interior all the plastics are removable so you can paint/vinyl them All sorts of decent audio stuff available and if you want a sub look into under seat ones that you can have under the drive/passenger front seats maybe? and if you've got a generator the worlds your oyster with regards to gadgets/screens/media players etcetc

yes

FYI If these are genuine autostradas they're pretty rare

They wont fit VW if centerbore is 56.1 mate... EDIT: and further more, 5 stud wheels on a lupo forum? Try getting them on E38 or ebay

ET17 will be okay, but youll need to roll and slightly pull your arches and run 185/45 or 175/50 tyres, you may also need camber shims on the back due to the back arches being a ball ache of a design, either that or totally flatten the inner arch, will need slightly flaring regardless but all of this can be done with a hired arch roller £60 for a weekend. I ran 15x8 et25 all round with 195/45 and it didn't rub on the front but back did a bit with people in. No chance without rolled arches

what fitment are they 16x7 et40? if they are then theyll go on fine with 165/45 or even 195/40s depending on how low it is EDIT: above tyre size min to maximum so 165/45, 165/50, 175/50, 185/40(if they make them - don't think they do) or 195/40 If they already have tyres on from when they were bought I'll guess they're 195/45, in which case it'll scrub if its low

PM lupoboz on here, he's a genuine parts supplier and can offer you a discount on VW prices I bought loads of bits and pieces from him when I had mine

Ive seen a couple that use hidden LED strips mounted on the underside of the top grille blade, IMO looks better as fogs dont look right on lupos, and you cant see them at all when theyre not on!

^^^ This. when i was looking for insurance on the lupo the first year my quotes dropped day by day for a week by a difference of £900 with the exact same criteria on every search, but at the end of the day the best way to get a good price is ring around the cheapest companies as the online quotes are always way more expensive I just insured the VR6 last week and the online quote was £1,300 more than the quote I got on the phone

try admiral mate, they've always been good for me

Are you the guy selling the vette wheels on edition? Spotted them in the background If you are you have a PM

I had shims on the back at -1.5 with whatever the natural camber was on top of that; so probably between 3 and 4 degrees negative No sign of excessive tyre wear whatsoever and mine was driven daily every day of the week with them on for probably half a year Just sold the wheels that were on it and tread was still even side to side

SOLD PLEASE LOCK/DELETE

I don't think I can count mine since I sold it last week I had 15mm left on my APs with helpers still in too... EDIT: that was turning clearance (never rubbed... albeit by millimeters)

you're only in hull, its like 1 hour 30 mins to the place I had mine done!

Hi Koop, will try get you a picture asap Not much to look at just standard suspension, no damage!

Hi, Got the factory fitted OEM 2 piece stereo from a 2002 1.4S lupo tape as well as CD player model mint condition not a mark on it and all working as it should be! £30 picked up from HX2? Wont post sorry Cheers, Max

Hi, Still have the original suspension from the lupo All still in working order with parts required for fitting £50 picked up from HX2 Let me know if you want them!

Eyup, Recently sold the lupo but the wheels weren't to the buyers taste so decided to sell the separately. Spec is 15x8J et25 all round with spigots to fit VW 57.1 Wheels were originally diamond cut from factory and bought brand new from rimstyle in Aug 2010 (think I might still have the original sale receipt somewhere which I can include) The lacquer had started to get a few stone chips and go milky (and as anyone with diamond cut wheels will know can't be fixed without removing the lacquer...) so instead of removing the lacquer and keeping them diamond cut I decided to have them re-polished to mirror finish and IMO look 10x better I had the outer edge of the lip (what's visable when looking directly down the wheel i.e you cant see the face) also polished as it comes black as standard and gives the wheels that extra finishing touch so you can see the lips from directly in front and behind the car due to the stretch Come with good 195/45/15 tyres with even tread all over They are absolutely spotless with no curbing or chips at all, look like they've just come out of the factory. Black parts all remain factory standard power coat, also comes with the proper compomotive chrome center caps Pictures can do the rest of the talking. I ran them without any spacers and just rolled arches so for an idea of how they sit with a big drop heres a couple of pics Price is £600 FIRM; no offers or P/X thanks as I'm in no rush to sell them. Will not delivery sorry, can't risk damage Located in HX2; 07812 212 822 if you're interested Cheers, Max!

Hi, the time has come where I can finally afford the car I wanted to get before I got this so my baby is going up for sale to fund it! Has been extremely well looked after in my ownership and is in mint condition After spending a couple of months searching for the right car I found this little gem in Mansfield with a company called 'Small car Company' with FSH HPI clear and 1 woman owner since new, bought the car on 47,348 miles for £2,700 with all purchase receipts to prove. Spec; (WILL NOT SPLIT ANY PARTS SORRY) 54k on the clock, will rise as it's daily 2002 1.4S (75bhp) in Reflex Silver FSH not including this years most recent service as I've done it myself!

SUSPENSION includes £400 AP coilovers (can get you as low as you need and ride very well; from experience with cheap coilovers that I had initially bought) currently fitted to car as well as standard suspension (still in complete working order with all parts boxed and ready to take away WHEELS include Compomotive TH-monos with good 195/45/15 tyres (4-5mm all round) currently off the car (to avoid road salts and bad weather) wheel spec is 15x8 et25 with spigots for VW centre bore, have been repolished to mirror finish rather than diamond cut so they are easier to keep clean and IMO look better, these wheels are spotless and dont have a mark on them. I also still have the original receipt from rimstyle in 09/2010 at the cost of £684 and they are only 13 months old now. I will also include the original 13" steels and spotless trims, its a set of 5 all with good 175/60/13 tyres on INTERIOR includes full leather interior worth £1,500; ford RS turbo Recaro front seats and the rest at GTI spec (rear seats, all 4 door cards and parcel shelf) the rear cards have speaker mesh so you can fit rear speakers, I haven't done so), parcel shelf has had the dip/groove filled in and trimmed and looks great. All leather is BMW red nappa with diagonal stitching. Leather is only about 3 months old and will come with 2 front seat covers EXTERIOR has a smoothed front bumper reg recess, legal pressed plates, rub strips and badges removed, rear badge has been split with black backing painted reflex silver to match car de-wiper with glass blank at rear and aero wipers up front rolled and flared arches all round Paint is very good with only one mark, being on the bootlid next to the window on the passenger side pillar, very small and only noticeable up close and probably wouldnt bother most people but I like things to be clean Roof lining trimmed in black damask and dash trim painted textured dark red to match leather Sale will include uprated door speakers and unfitted tweeters which are all Alpine IIRC, as well as a 900W EDGE active sub and Kenwood headunit (can find full details if required) - also including original VW 2 part stereo with tape as well as CD player I've had the chassis notched on drivers side to allow lower ride height without fouling the drive shaft on the chassis, its a really neat job (picture is mid process before corrosion protection was applied so it is now a primer grey colour) Car has camber shims set at maximum 1.5 degrees fitted on the rear to get the compos tucked in, doesnt effect handling at all, if anything it feels more planted in corners literally the only bad thing about this car is that the tax is due 31st Nov! Car is spotless inside and out, feels solid as a rock and runs great as its very well looked after and whenever a problem arises its fixed ASAP Price is £4,000 EDIT FORGOT TO ADD PICTURES, DUH.
