Not sure. some middle aged woman who lived nearby bought it haha thanks! I really miss it now. kinda regret getting rid. haha

haha I wouldnt get too jealous of the smoothing. it went tits up. and i just sold the car a few weeks ago, so didnt really do much else. miss it already

thanks for the help. just gonna have to try and get to it tomorrow. hopefully I'll get it done.. haha

havnt been on here in a while. got a few more updates since last time started sorting the smoothed bumper again. got bored one night and got more pics.. then painted the smoothed bumper. which made it look not so smooth once it was glossy got some little marks here and there to sort out then finally paint it and get it done again! then i went out with my camera again the other night! then found my bmw center bits and put them on for now till i pull my finger out and get some bbs ones! also painted my steels again for winter. luminous hi-vis pink hahaha be going on when the weather gets worse! then just yesterday i broke down! throttle cable snapped on the a1

hi everybody. was going along the motorway yesterday and my accelerator just hit the floor. recovery bloke came and it turns out the throttle cables snapped. always thought mine was elecrtric though cos there is no wire in the throttle body, but when you look up past the pedals i can see a snapped cable. got one on order from vw to collect tomorrow but does anyone have any clue of replacing it?? thanks! chris

not sure, i know and have heard of plenty people taking them out without problems. im considering trying it myself when i can be arsed, hahaha. and i payed 190 plus 12 pound postage from venom motorsport.

cheers hahaha. and the front will go way lower and you could always take the adjusters out the back, haha. And yes theyr 15's

Thats how mine sits, all the way down on the rear with the adjusters still in and it has about 40mm lower to go on the front.

Iv got JOM's too, deffinitley not the worst ride iv been in, id reccomend them haha

hahaha, got a slight obsession with them when i found out how to do it

haha cheers man its getting there like!

oh, just today iv had my centre caps for the wheels painted too! just need some bbs centre bits and they are all ready to do on also, had a go of metal polishing on my manifold cover, got a new LED interior light and painted the inside bit of the front badge the same colour as the wheel centre.

Iv had my car for just over a year now. it is a 2002 volkswagen lupo se. only started doing things to it in the past few months since iv had money. here it is when i first got it gave it a good clean the next day then i decided to paint the alloys black, (silly chavy looking mistake) didnt really do anything for a while after that. then winter came, got some cheap steels and done them white. (another terrible mistake hahah) turned out to be pretty pointless too with a disappointing winter. winter went, put my alloys on and decided to have a go at smoothing a spare bumper, turned out ok but i had to take it off cos the paint faded as i didnt let the lacquer set properly due to being impatient. here is how it looked when i had it done, the alloy wheel tyres went bald so i re painted the steels a less contrasting colour. was going to go for matte black but saw a tin of nato green and had to get it. then i got the indicators tinted amber, not much of a difference but i think it is a nice touch. then i FINALLY got enough money together to get some coilovers! fitted them myself the next day then i got some 15x7 bbs rz's and painted them ford tibetan gold with a satin black lip got my rear arches rolled and got them put on and went playing out with my camera. this is how it stands now.

Heres mine!

sorry, havnt been online in a while. and on my engine the oil pressure switch was on the right hand side of the engine near the top

got the car back tonight. all seems to be fine now. hopefully thats the end of that. thanks for the help!

yeah not too long ago i had to have the valve seats recut and have new valve seals put in. he had the cams out then. they were only very fine scratches but he said it could be the reason. iv just got the car back and he said he is going to put a new bit of gauze between the sump and the engine and clear out the pipes. the pressure is just above the minimum amount he says. hopefully that will sort it!

Thanks for the replies! I had an oil and filter change done less than 2 weeks ago by a garage. so im hoping the oil is the right viscosity haha. I have taken it to a garage this morning to get the oil pressure tested and to try and find out the problem. The bloke there seems to think that it could be because my cams have fine scratches on so when the oil heats up it is getting through and losing pressure? im hoping its just gunk though because that sounds like an expensive job.

hi, im new to this forum and could do with some advice with oil pressure. i have a 2002 1.0 lupo. when iv been driving for a while, the oil pressure light seems to start flashing and beeping if i go between 1000 and 2000 rpm, but as soon as i go above 2000 rpm the light goes back out. it only seems to happen when the engine has been running for a while and is propperly hot. i heard that it could be a faulty oil pressure switch, so i have had that changed and it still does it. just wondering if anyone else has come across this problem and what is could be? thanks.
