Claire's (*Now Matt's*) ups and downs of lupo ownership
M8T-VW replied to M8T-VW's topic in Volkswagen Lupo
Still waiting for the insurance to be sorted out so i have put my spare bumper and some banded steels on as i think the 16's are too big. -
The lupo looked stunning today dude. Congratulations on the win

Hi guys. This is not the update i wanted to be posting the week before Ultimate Dubs but here goes. At Midnight on Wednesday i got a phone call from my brother saying he had recieved the dreaded workshop alarm call out so i jumped in the car and raced the short journey to work to meet him and the police (as they automatically get a call) This is what i found. The lupo was inside the workshop when we locked up earlier. Now its here with its engine running Note the door is only a foot off of the floor. This is because in the theives rush to open the door with the alarm making a lot of noise the chain fell off. They were here to take 2 yamaha quad bikes and a pit bike so as these were stuck in the workshop and my luo was just inside the door they decided to jump in it and reverse it flat out through the shutter doors. The end result was 2 stolen quads, 1 stolen pit bike, one wrecked Lupo 1 damaged door and a damaged customer discovery. After a lot of detective work and an amazing amount of help through facebook we managed to track the quads yesterday (Saturday) and with the help of the police retreive the two quads but after the copper chopper and dogs had been out, no suspects arrested We are still doing our own investigating and someone will pay for this. Anyway, no U.D for the Lupo but it is a tough little thing and will be back for the Early Edition show in April. We will be at U.D with My Caddy and a couple of fresh cars so pop over and say hello @ Reflex Auto Design. -

Looking good dude. Mine is now on VMaxx. I took the bilsteins off because of the constant knocking and creaking. Im happy with it now but need to raise the rear a little bit. -

Its getting there now. The Airex struts are awesome. The bag is height adjustable like a coilover so i can set it really low and then it just lifts to normal height rather than 4x4 mode. I cant wait to get it all set up. -

Cheers dude I installed the air on Saturday but the stupid 16" wheels are stopping it going as low as i want it too. I've got the front down now with a bit of camber but i need to narrow the axle to get the 9's in a bit. -

I have decided the car will be much more usable with Air ride so today i made a start with the impossible task of fitting the management into the boot space of a gti. First job was to remove the foam and relocate the battery. Then fit Compressor 5 gallon tank mounted And finally for today, false floor cut to shape. I hope to get the tank painted to match the wheels in the week and some alcantara for the floor and seat backs. -

Time for an update i think. I have now stolen this car from Claire as she wanted something bigger and more sensible. I have altered a couple of bits and it now looks like this More updates to come
