Alright cheers, ill go have a look later when i go to work and get them ordered when im at work -
Noticed after id changed my headlight bulbs that one of the casing/covers on the back of headlight bulb unit is missing (sort of a black rectangle of plastic with a clip) Does anyone know where i can get another one of these cheap or is it a case of going to the stealers to get another?

Im not sure of my engine code or how to check it but are these the right plugs to get? Provided my engine code is the same http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SPARK-PLUGS-NGK-X4-VOLKSWAGEN-LUPO-1-4-AUD-ZFR5P-G-/170460785637?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item27b0412be5#ht_2571wt_1138 -

serviced with mot in sept So you think its the plugs then? -
Hi, ive had my lupo 2 week now and love it to bits, only problem is that the engine warning light is pretty indecisive, some days itll be on and some times off, but no noticeable difference Took it to a garage to run ecu check and it was said to be a misfire My problem is that my lupo has lost power going uphill twice, once in a multistory car park and once on a steep hill. It seems to just drop power all of a sudden and the revs sound a bit 'gurgley' for lack of a better word. then struggles to get up hills, on both occasions i just parked up and turn the ignition off, let it sit for a couple of mins on flat ground, then started up again with no problem and no loss of power. The car had been sat for a while before i bought it, a couple of months maybe with some petrol in the tank, on my first refill i used red-ex to clean out the crap left in the tank from old fuel, on the second refuel i didnt use it and the problem has happened again tonight, if it just a case of using red ex on every re fill for a few more times? At first is thought it could have been cos there wasnt enough fuel in the tank to get down the pipes when the car was tilted on a steep hill, but tonight it happened on a 3/4 full tank so it can be that. Any help advice would be appreciated, other than this the car has no other noticeable problems (and engine light wasnt on when bought) and has just been MOT'd at the start of sept or could this be a more serious problem.

ordered, cheers!

Is this the right size, i think its 25-28mm universal, that or you choose from 25-28, if so does anyone know the exact measurement? cba taking off wiper to check myself http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270655727082&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_606wt_908

-
alright nice one, ordered now
-
Hey Mike, How much did you order in the end? im just about to order mine so dont wanna be buying more/less than I need Does it stretch to shape easily?
-
15" and theyve already been skimmed so no clips :/
-
got a set of blue and silver ones, but they were nackered before i painted em ha was looking at buying that car before i got mine, glad i didnt though, rather do stuff myself
-
nice one, cheers mate
-
Is a 12x20" sheet of lamin-x enough to do both headlights and indicators ? and how do you apply it, just heat and stretch like vinyl?
-
i think 70% transmission all round apart from the windscreen wont even look like its been done, just a nice touch to make it look abit better imo i dont like hella dark tints anyway, looks tacky on most cars inc lupos
-
i think thats only for windscreen
-
hi im looking to get a 60-70% tint all round (fairly light) just needed to know, will i need to take the hinges out of the back windows to do it well? Thanks, Max thought 70% was the legal amount for front?
