Looks good. Cool mods! Really like Fresco Green myself. And you can't beat a centre-exit exhaust!

yeahhh when i attempted to clean it, it was 11years worth of grime mould there and hard to aggitate

Before i sold my Lupo i gave it quite a good clean (rubbish compared to most of you) and i cleaned a few places that i had never cleaned before i thought they may get overlooked. Behind the rubber on the b-pillar. With the steering rake all the way down inside the gap And i now you wouldn't usually take this off when cleaning your car but i popped the rear storage pockets off, was stinking in there. Can anyone else think of any places?

This is looking wicked Fresh looking base, cool colour choices/ideas and a 20vT swap!

Brakes: Has had new front discs in the time i've had the car as well as EBC Green Stuff pads, but the car could really do with a brake fluid change.

Great to see an update

Horrible thing to say.

i like those seats similar to Mondeo ST220 / Focus ST170 Recaro seats don't like the colour scheme on them though, it does nothing for them!!

on behalf of a friend: is there any reason why psi didn't use the original BAM engine mounts

Polo 6N/ 6N2 front struts will work on a Lupo

Would they fit on the rear though? on top of the rear damper?

i know that theres a four branch for the Polo Coupe (breadvan type) with a similar sounding engine (1.0 8v single point injection) could probably use that

Thanks Alex great little tip, very helpful:) The car has been on TA Technix coilovers for a while now and they're terrible. Ever since they've been on the rear top mounts have knocked like crazy. its really **** and i can't take it anymore, so was wondering if these would work: http://www.psituning.com/product.php/20097/polybush_polyurethane_top_mounts__pair____golf_mk4_etc___lupo_polo_6n_2 I know it cleary shows the front suspension in the picture, so if these wouldn't work it's a case of brand new oem ones then? Thanks everyone

The MK1 Seat Arosa was available with the 59BHP 1.4 SOHC 8V MPI.

Very nice (:

I have a few standard parts if anyone is interested in swapping ? Standard black interior mirror, and a light grey one Standard steering wheel '01 spec 'hoop' headrests (4) Beta VW/Blaupunkt head unit Rear trim panels (ones under the window) Standard headlights, passenger side one has one broken bracket Probably have more to add.

To minimise the risk of damaging anything you need to take the bumper off as theres a bolt holding the headlight in at the bottom of the headlight, so to get to that easily the bumper has to come off.

Since we have had this nice weather my lupo is idling at near enough 1k more than it does idle normally (around 700rpm) and this isn't when the fan is on. it also hit 2k when started up on automatic choke. A friend told me it could be the throttle position sensor and he gave it a scan with vag com.. nothing. and am i right in thinking if that was the problem the EPC light would be illuminated as my 1.0 8v MPI uses fly-by wire throttle. But could the T.P.S still be at fault ? Thanks

Coming soon.
