Cheers man, did you make it to Ultimate Stance? Cheers! Yours is sweet though, love the fact you have some RWs always wanted a set or RCs but could never find a set haha Thanks! Well surprisingly the car made it inside at Ultimate Stance which i was really happy about, i genuinely didn't expect it and it left me with little time to get things sorted haha. Well i finally got the Gotti's rebuilt as i've been meaning to for ages and im so happy with how they came out. Got everything done locally on them and saved myself a fortune! Also got a really good mate of mine to spend a day machine polishing it too haha it come out surprisingly well and looked pretty good under those unforgiving lights inside at Telford! Some panels do need paintwork though but i can't really complain as the majority of the car is still original paint as gets driven everyday, does well over 1000 miles a month! Not bad for a 12 year old car! Heres some pictures from Ultimate Stance.

Heated Seat Loom/Switch Question
Dom_VW replied to LupLowDom's topic in Interior and In-Car Entertainment
Cheers for the response mate I never resolved this but now have a Lupo GTi so using the original switches that came with the loom, so if anybody wants the switches I purchased for the earlier lupo dash let me know -
Cheers Craig, and not sure yet mate could be swapping them for a mint set of D90's with new tyres and adapters as the GTI is on eibach springs not coilies so dont want there to be too much arch gap running 15"s haha. Although saying that, i got a phone call of some bloke who lives in my bosses street off my bosses phone saying he has seen my car outside and was wondering if i was interested in some borbet flat caps for my wheels so if the price is right they maybe on the cards haha, dont know how good silver borbets would look on a silver GTI though. 30 quid collected pal

New car at the weekend guys! Cant wait! got a few lupo parts for sale just so you know (3L rear bumper, N/S Wing, standard lower bumper, Indicator Panel, 13" Zenders and possibly be some more) Cheers, Dom

Cheers mate, will have to meet up sometime would be nice meet some dubbers around the Stoke area Cheers ZX would have took me forever! glad someone knows what they are doing! Yes Koop, previous owner must have decided it was easier to fit Arosa replacements but its never really bothered me haha and yes I have a Passat rear badge now looks really good! Cheers Craig, so glad youve finally got yours lowered!

Hi there guys, This has been long overdue by me really! Been a proud Lupo owner for just over a year now and have been currently browsing the forums since before i had my car haha just never got round to making an account. Anyways, here is my Lupo! Bought the car late last year for £850 it had covered around 54000 miles and had five owners! and it was in a pretty bad way to be fair but it was good enough to be my first car! The bodywork was not the best, interior was nasty all the seats and drivers footwell were covered in fag burns, head lining had some strange blood/rust looking stain and the speedo didnt work! But all in all it was very local to me which was rare (never any lupos around here ) and i pretty much loved the car as soon as i saw it so yeah haha here is the build thread of my car, a lot has changed over this year but here goes: Apologies as majority of my pictures are taken from my iPhone (mainly instagram) if you have instagram follow me! @dom_vw <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dominicwilliams/8268025026/" title="IMG_0060 by DominicWilliams, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8357/8268025026_f3b3eecfdf_z.jpg" width="640" height="480" alt="IMG_0060"></a> Car a week or so after owning it completely standard <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dominicwilliams/8268025500/" title="IMG_0071 by DominicWilliams, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8071/8268025500_abf90b4801_z.jpg" width="640" height="480" alt="IMG_0071"></a> BMX Roadtrip me and a few friends and my mates Polo went on to Wirksworth not long after having my car <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dominicwilliams/8266957529/" title="IMG_0072 by DominicWilliams, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8501/8266957529_1f8d35389c_z.jpg" width="640" height="480" alt="IMG_0072"></a> Who says you cant fit 6 BMX's in a lupo? <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dominicwilliams/8266960273/" title="IMG_0260 by DominicWilliams, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8357/8266960273_a5e8419e62_z.jpg" width="640" height="480" alt="IMG_0260"></a> Bit of a bump!
