aye thats the plan tomorrow anyway, early start, just thought id get as much info from here before i get started tomorrow cheers for the help and sorry for being a noob

Do you know the part no.s? are they really expensive from the stealers? because i wanted to get it done tomorrow really!

Ok nice one, ill be getting new topmounts tomorrow because they dont look in a great way and if it makes it easier thats a win-win how much are a set of new topmounts? do i need 4 new ones or just the 2 fronts ones?

Well ive never done it before im only 19 man, just didnt know if you only needed them for lowering springs or coils aswell :S and in the only guide on here its says they 'MAY' be needed http://forums.clublupo.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=38988

do you NEED spring compressors to fit TA Technics? mine came today, going at them tomorrow morning

Yeah i have no idea what to go for because i dont know what would look right :S ive seen a cupra splitter, but that was on a GTI, suited it really well though suprisingly http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230553585810&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_3036wt_1138 i think its because theres no textured bottom half on the GTI though ill probably just end up getting a plain one like yours, maybe sticker bomb it

Looking for a front bumper splitter for the loop and just wondered what people are running on here, and what splitters suit the non-gtis Its a 1.4 non sport, what are my best options? im looking for a fairly basic design, just need some extra fake lows when its on coils Thanks

okay thanks for the advice

ohhh right hhahaah i read the other reply wrong yeh i have no idea where id put it is it illegal to have it attached to your passenger sun visor? if it is itll have to go on the bottom corner of the bumper grill!

ahhh really? :| looks so good when its done though, whats wrong with yours? has it sunk or something?

Okay so plans are; Coils are sorted for xmas, gna get some technix so theyll be fitted come new year Plans in january are; back bumper full colour code respray (no smoothing) front bumper reg plate smoothed and resprayed (leaving bottom half black) putting my standard grille back on and leaving the bonnet (for now anyway ) should hopefully be done mid/end of january ill update when its looking less ugly!

wow £600 for all that, pretty sweet deal only plastic welding i want is the reg plate, then im just colour coding both front and back without smoothing the lines between, and then putting standard grille back on (ie. not doing bonnet anymore) how much would you reckon, about 300-450 for it?

how much you pay for the front bumper doing? and im guessing itll come off as a single piece once its been smoothed together?

oh do the cams come with orange filters as well? well it looks like im going to have to do it either way arent i Gna get cams ordered this weekend from boz, and then its coils at xmas and colour coding bumps new years

ahh sounds a ball ache, well im still undecided on cambridge rears so i might not even bother in the end! thanks for the help

cheers, ill just use chromed indicators so it eliminates the orange completely when the bulbs arent in use How difficult is it to remove the orange cover then? im guessing its tricky since you said 'break'

Hi On the tail lights the indicator sections have a slight orange tint to them, i was wondering if this was just a coloured cap on the inside of the bulb that could be removed and then replaced with a chromed amber bulb? Also, are cambridge lights straight swap for standard ones?? Thanks

win! cheers

Hi, Just wondered if an arosa tailgate is a direct fit/swap for a lupo tailgate Also, when you take the seat 'S' logo off is there a notch/groove/hole behind it or is it just stuck on like the lettering (and therefore smooth underneath) Thanks, Max

ha epic, 4k is how much i paid for my car and insurance for the year! no apparently not, you just have to have a working reverse light, im not sure it passes mot with red reverse lights but its not illegal anyway so i can just take them off and reapply after mot

wow 4k? what you getting

nice one, get some pics up when you get it done im just dying to get it on coils now, not much else planned atm as i need to save for xmas ha

no worries its only a bit of vinyl and my mot is in august only hard part is popping off the top t section, i thought i was gna break it but it needs a bit of force, everythnig else is easy i also had to cut all the old pastic welds down/off with a knife so it would go back on again, theres 3 clips on it thatll hold it down so you dont have to worry about it going anywhere

just a quick one, realised i never put up pics of dash trim painted took some pictures this morning but my baby was just hiding in the snow anyway, dash trim ahoy, just used the reflex silver that halfrauds do, pretty good match to say its next to 8 yr old paint! looks like a bad match on pics cos of bad quality and lighting but in real its a good match also vinlyed over the hazard button while i had it out, makes it look cleaner imo got my radio cubby hole in aswell thanks again to lupoboz and a cheeky one from the weekend when my mate had his loop round 'oy sxy' - bad hangover joke, was hilarious at the time ;D
