Well i best update and close this thread... I sold the lupo on Saturday just gone, change of job meant i needed a bigger car so now own an s4 avant. Im sure the car will be looked after by the new owner who i think is on here. All the best

I will check mine when i get back bud

Yeah i thought it would come spaced out, so i think i will order another set just to be safe... ? Cheers pal

Washed the car this evening as what with the hot weather its been put off a while Also bought some plain plates to tidy it up..

So i got the car Back earlier on in the week, it was indeed the alternator... Car is all good now. Ive spent a fair bit on it, but i like my car to be spot on. But i am missing the power the r32 had and am getting itchy feet to get something quick again, being a single lad.....

Cheers rich, i got jump leads on it and it started straight away... To me it seems alternator? Dropped the car off at the garage so its atleast there come monday.

So update time.... And not a good one, the little lupo has broken down. Battery light was on/flashing, im guessing alternator or battery on its way out... Currently waiting on a lift.

Nice car, i was looking at tornado red before i got the laser blue

Cheers chris, it wasnt an expensive job but one that has made the drive much more enjoyable. I think it's the little details that make the biggest transformation tbh, i was suprised myself how well the exhaust came up as i wasnt holding much hope haha Will update as and when i do bits...

Haha you n me both mate, its next on the list to replace with plain plates, will be stuck on as not fan of screwed on

So another day, another little package arrived.. Noticed this split after cleaning the car, only ordered yesterday, great service. And i took the rest of the week off, so popped to the pub. Really do love this little car Cheers stefan

Yeah but im not programmed like that, if it bugs me it ruins the drive, and if hill start or pulling out of a slope it really struggled. Done now for a long time. And wasnt expensive in my opinion. Compared to the the golf r32 this is peanuts to run

Update.. So car got clean bill of health from jkm in Portsmouth, really good bunch of guys down there, had few things to look over.. And i ended up just going ahead and replacing the clutch, it was abit vague and struggled on hills, so rather than spoil the driving pleasure i just replaced it, now its great! Next on the list was to replace the rear wiper arm and blade, the standard just didnt clear the screen very well and i didnt like the appearance of it so swapped for a mk6 polo version.. I also took the day off work as the weather was awesome, i gave the lupo a clean and went to grab some shots, also gave the exhaust a good going over with some autosol before and after to show the difference And ones on a nice drive Found a pub and stopped for a beer Cheers stefan

Thankyou bud, only mods would maybe be kw coilovers but i really am enjoying it in standard form. Such a fun little car

Christ no!!! It wont be ruined at all, i just meant like new mats, wipers, little touches like that
