  1. She's beautiful! Bought mine with 24.5k on her, had her for 10 weeks and she has just gone over 26.5k. Wouldn't mind but I only have to drive 6 miles to and from work a day!
  2. I'm looking at getting some pressed plates for my car. Does anyone know of anywhere decent to get them. I have seen loads of places advertising that they are "Road Legal" but I'm a bit wary. Don't really want to spend money on plates I cant use.
  3. So I have had my car for 2 months now and I think it's time she made some internet friends. I have a Y reg Lupo GTi in silver called Lilo. She had 24.5k miles on her when I bought her. She is pretty much standard but I have some plans for her over the next year or so. I'm thinking of starting with the smaller things first so pressed plate, chrome caps for the oil, water and windscreen wash and yes, as you might see in the pictures, I have bought a Stitch toy to sit in the back (Lilo and Stitch?) Minor works need to be done like the grab handles, I need a new key as I lost the main one and the transponder in the spare doesn't work so my alarm goes off quite a lot and I also need to replace the motors for the electric windows. I am going to delete the top rear brake light, debadge the back and remove the GTi badge from the front grill. I apologise for the poor picture quality. It started raining and I had only just washed her At the moment, she is sat on 17" Boss multifitment wheels (Don't judge me, that's how I bought the car!) which are scuffed beyond belief. I have bought some Audi Pepperpots that are currently in old english white. Looking to get them resprayed in either matt black or sparkly black with the logo, lip and the end of the centre cap in polished silver. I am thinking for the summer I want to get Drag DR 24s 15x8 4x100 but we shall see. Hoping to get them on by March, and I'm hoping I can put some coilovers on at the same time as at the moment, she is sitting too high for my liking. To be fair, the interior of the car is immaculate, but I'm looking to put Mk4 Golf GTi seats in with a custom retrim, so if you know anyone who is any good but doesn't rip people off let me know! Failing the Mk4's I might just get the GTi seats for the lupo, and not bother with a retrim. If I change the fabric of the seats, I will also change the door cards and the parcel shelf to tie in. The only other thing non standard about the car is the stereo and the sub. The previous owner of the car changed the head unit, but me, my brother, my dad and a friend all played a part in fitting the sub, and sinking the amp below the boot floor. Unfortunately, the original CD player now doesn't fit flush in the centre console but I am looking to change that anyway. Thinking of having a separate equalizer in there, but if you have any better ideas, fire them my way! The sub I have was built 15 years ago by my dad and is still going strong. I'm not entirely sure of the size but it is a Pioneer subwoofer sunk into a custom built box, which is sealed with silicone. It is amazing! Once everything is connected properly, and I have secured my amp (as it is being held in place by the Vans boxes), it has a separate blue light inside which tops it off for me. I have one killswitch at the moment which works, but is waiting to be placed in the boot floor, and I am looking at having a second one in the centre console in the front just because it would be easier to turn it on in the front of the car, than having to open the boot to turn it on when I want to use it. So that's my plan for the first half of 2014. Once all of that has been done, I am looking into uprating the speakers in the car, getting a cone induction kit, bespoke decat stainless steel exhaust (don't know whether to stick with the twin exit or just have one bigger exit) and then a remap. It might take me a little while to get there but I will make it happen... eventually. I hope you like my car as much as I do! Lisa <3
