  1. Fits the 6 speed Lupo GTI, and also mk4 Golf/Bora/Beetle. Shortens the throw of the gearlever down nicely, gives a weighty knob and feels better quality. The standard one feels a bit cheap now I've removed this. Comes with clear instructions on how to fit it. The only other person I've heard of having one of these in a Lupo was the person I bought it off as he ended up with two due to his mate letting him down, and he hasn't been on the forum for years, so it comes with a bit of exclusivity as well. £90 Collected from Hartlepool £100 posted. Thanks.
  2. Just under 7" long. Perfect condition. It's a lot like the S2000 aerial that people fit, but it has the correct diameter base so it fits perfectly. Doesn't affect the radio reception. Really improves the look of the car. It looks a bit poo now I have the enormous standard one back on. £18 collected from Hartlepool. £20 posted. A picture of the same aerial on Chris260's car. I don't have to ask his permission to use it because he is a bummer: Thanks.
  3. Gave me many years of faithful service, I loved it's OEM looks and knowing that I always had a Sat Nav in the car for whenever I needed it. Comes with a Plug & Play lead, aerial, security code and satnav disc. Think it's a 2007 map disc, possibly later. It's just a copy, not a genuine disc. There is a small crack in the top left corner of the surround, I tried to find it whilst it was fitted and couldn't see it, and I was looking for it! I've pulled it slightly to show in the photo, but it really can't be seen once fitted. Excuse the dirty fingernails, Tigerseal doesn't come off! £300 collected from Hartlepool. £310 posted. Thanks.
  4. I'd say 195/45 would be fine.
  5. Yeah, I had them for a while, Nankang NS2's. It was fine, drove quite hard on them with no problems.
  6. No bother, I'm sure you'll be pleased with it once it's on.
  7. Should have bought my BMC. Was exactly the same setup. Too late now though, cockboy! And I've got an exhaust here with your name on it...
  8. Chris260 bought it last week. He's currently having a tantrum whilst refitting the coilovers.
  9. For those that haven't seen the other thread, Awesome said:
  10. It's sold, pending payment. Thanks though. edit. Payment came through the exact second I clicked "Post Reply" SOLD
  11. Obscenely comfortable and fantastic looking, I really don't want to sell them! Front mk5 Golf GTI seats in great condition. Rear mk5 Golf GTI backrests with 3 headrests (don't have the rear seat bases, unfortunately). Could use this as a cloth donor. Front subframes that I had professionally made. These bolt to the existing bracket at the front using the standard nuts, then require two small holes to be drilled into the runners on the floor, allowing a nut and bolt (provided) to be passed through. If you were ever to swap back to standard seats then the holes would be covered up and not visible. Then the mk5 seats bolt to the subframes using the standard fixings. They could be fitted back into a Golf with no trouble, they haven't been modified. Lupo full rear bench to be retrimmed, with hoop headrests. All upper and lower doorcards to be retrimmed. Seat runner covers that have been cut to fit around the subframes. I have the door handle inserts too, rubbed down ready for paint. Just to confirm, the doorcards and rear bench will need trimming to match the front seats, they're all light grey. I never got round to getting them done. Far too big to post, they'll fit in the back of a Lupo though, I'm sure! Thanks.
  12. Well that's a pretty important factor on whether they'll scrub or not.
  13. A red one? I can't think of any moderator that had a red GTI.
  14. Depends on the offset. If they're et20 you'll probably be ok only 40-60mm down. Any more than that and it'll rub, I'd guess.
  15. Very nice addition to the interior, made a big difference. As new. Requires slight modification to the chrome button to fit a Lupo (just needs the inside mouldings cutting out) I used the standard Lupo button which fitted straight in. £20 collected from Hartlepool £23 posted.
  16. The full intake setup from my GTI. BMC CDA with bracket. 90 degree bend to throttle body. Two 90 degree air feed pipes, one with outlet, with silicone joiners and all jubilee clips needed. Oil catch can with bracket. Oil breather pipes. Joiner to attach the standard breather pipe (that usually attaches to the airbox) to the new pipe feeding the catch tank. Even a little bit of copper pipe, the perfect size to fix the charcoal canister feed and return pipes together, meaning you can remove the charcoal canister for a better cold air feed. Includes all bolts to fit it. Bolt for the BMC bracket that screws into an unused thread on the rocker cover. And the two nut and bolts to fix the catch tank bracket to the battery terminal plate thing. (Two holes need drilling for these) A little bit of hose with a jubilee clip, which I attached onto the head of one of the engine mount bolts to stop the air feed pipe getting scratched on them due to vibrations. This little lot cost me a sh*tload to put together, it sounded great and looked the part. And after emptying the catch tank when I was removing it, certainly stopped a load of oily cack going into the engine. The only bad point is that the air feed pipe is a bigger diameter than the BMC intake. I wrapped some electricians tape around it before fitting to bridge the gap which worked fine, you might be able to think of a better way. As you can see, there are a couple of little splits in the breather pipes, but this is just the outer layer, they're still fine. The bracket could do with a lick of paint and there are a couple of little scratches on the air feed pipe. Ignore the black bracket poking up in front of the BMC, that was to support my engine cover but it snapped. The engine cover does still fit over this setup, but it rubs on the air feed pipe. I made that bracket to hold it up slightly, but I obviously didn't make it very well. Would be easy to make one that did work, I just never got round to it. £150 collected from Hartlepool £160 posted. Thanks.
  17. My little audio install from the Lupo. Rockford Fosgate 2.6X 150 Watt Total Power amplifer. DLS 6.5" speakers. 50W RMS, 80W Max. Speaker adapters to allow them to fit in the Lupo doors. Full wiring kit, including power with inline fuse, earth, speaker cable, signal lead and the lead to get pre-outs from a standard Lupo Gamma or MFD. Black wiring tidy-upper-ers to make the wiring in the boot look nice. I had the amp fitted underneath the boot carpet in the foam bit in my GTI. Everything hidden away, just how I like it. The only thing missing from the kit are the screws needed to fix the speakers and the speaker rings in place. Just need a few little self tappers. The speaker rings have a notch cut out of them which was required to allow them to fit behind the Lupo doorcards. £100 collected from Hartlepool. £110 posted. Thanks.
