No ac!

This car was in showroom condition when I owned it! Lovely car and one that I wish I had kept for longer!

Very happy with all the bits I have got off Eric! If you want new parts then goto a VW Dealer!

£3150?

3k?

Glad you are Loving the car Matt! Was a lovely little car! Please keep good care of it! I am loving my project Polo and will be mint by the time i am finished with it! I will be posting new pics this weekend with loads more mods done including 16" bbs split rims painted black with hand polished outers!

Bought it cos was cheap at £3300! Needed a bigger second car so the Lupo had to go! Having lots of fun doing the car up! Looking forward to getting my bbs 16" split rims fitted next saturday after I polish the rims up!

Here she is my W reg with 53,000 miles! Had the cam belt and water pump and brake fluid done last monday by VW. So far mods are:- GTI anni. badges front and rear, 15" Bathurst Lupo GTI wheels( Only fitted while I am refurbing the BBS!), Alpine I-pod head unit, GTI sill covers and 16" bbs rs2's in my boot ready to split down and refurb! Thinking about getting centres powder coated black! border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="" />

I did the bolts to the correct torque and used standard pads as still the same caliper!

Paint was £5.99! Cheers

Hi! What size tyres are the best to fit to bbs rm's in 15 by 7" fitment? Cheers John!

bought the brembo discs from local vw guy new for £50! Drove 100 miles today and the brakes are awesome allready and they are still bedding in! Very pleased! My best upgrade so far for the money! Exhaust next!

All done! Took me longer than I thought as had to paint the rest of the caliper to match the carrier! Will have to wait until tonight to test the brakes and give the paint chance to dry!

kit was £481 delivered but retails at £550! I would say it has lowered the car about 30 mm all round! Off to fit my g60 brakes now! Pics will follow!

Count me in! Will be good to get a look at everyones car!

Yes the carriers are refurbed but does not matter as was going to paint them anyway! I used hammerite first but they where too bright so used a enamel paint from b&q called Jalpac and is signal red which has now gone a lot darker close to the original caliper colour! This is a very easy mod and I am expecting big improvements! Will let you know the results over the next week bedding the brakes in!

Got the G60 brake conversion to do this weekend after getting hold all the bits! Just waiting for the third coat of paint on the caliper carriers to dry! Got the bits pretty cheap:- VW pads £25, brembo 280mmx22mm discs £50 and caliper carriers £90 delivered! border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="" /> I will post the fitted pics tomorrow night if all goes well!

Used an old soldering iron and melted them out! Easy but took a while!

New rear lights fitted without nasty orange inserts! border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="" />

The rear suspension is a doddle to fit! Just undo the top nuts then jack the car up by the toe eye point and then undo 1 bottom bolt from each strut to remove them then simply lift out the srings! I only got an allinment check after I fitted the kit as did not see the point to getting one done before!

"can i ask if you touched the fuel filter or rear silencer while fitting??" what do you mean by that?
