  1. I read the thread on this already, but it didn't really clear everything up. I'm thinking of getting some Corsa B FK rear shocks and was wondering if the spring that comes with them is lower than the ones on the Lupo FKs? If not, where can I get hold of some lower springs? Would the ones in the link fit alright? Any help would be massively appreciated. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/corsa-b-rear-suspension-lowering-springs-shocks-adjusters-99p-start-/121418708459?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item1c451e75eb
  2. I'm on 8j et25 all round, with stretched tyres and I needed my arches rolling.

    Cambridge rear lights are in and I'm praying I can get someone to refurbish my wheel before Edition.

    Haha, indeed! The one-way system where I live is a bit of a nightmare, the road is too narrow for two lanes and the mini that was next to me apparently needed a bit more room.

    Ah sorry, I forgot to mention that I've 'de-tangoed' them, so I need the silver coated ones.

    Just a little update...I got my lower GTI door cards and my clear side repeaters on. I can't do my cambridge lights yet, as I managed to order the wrong bulbs...So I'll get a picture of those whenever the bulbs arrive next week. Before After Side Repeaters Oh, and I managed to curb one of the wheels yesterday which still infuriates me...Refurb will be just another (unnecessary) thing added to the list.
  7. This looks incredible. Really classy mods. Whereabouts in Finland are you from?

    So, on Wednesday, Phil from Arch Enemy came round. I was actually at work, but my brother said he seriously knew what he was doing...Which was evident after I wound my coils back down, took the rear adjusters out, went for a drive and didn't hear a single rub. (Ignore my chewed up tyres ) This is how it used to sit. And this is how it sits now. I can't recommend Arch Enemy enough. I really didn't want to risk my paint, by trying to do it myself and I'm really happy with the end result. My cambridge rears, clear side repeaters and Gti lower door cards should all be here at some point this coming week, so I'll do an update then. PEACE
  9. Awesome stuff man, looks sweet! I can't believe they made Lupos with glove boxes...I feel so betrayed. I'm also madly jealous of the rear door cards.

    Thanks for the feedback, didn't know if anyone was still using this forum. Should be getting my arches rolled by ArchEnemy on Wednesday, to fix some rubbing issues. .

    Haha, it's been so good in the heat we've been having.
  12. Wicked thread man, looks spot on! Will you be at Edition? Would be sweet to see it in person.

    I'm really bad at updating this, as the site seems a bit dead and I usually just put things up on Instagram or Twitter. P.S Could someone please move this to the member's car's section, which I didn't realise existed when I created this thread. I've put on my Sharan badge: I've also bought some Lenso KZAs: And picked up some back seats to match the fronts:
  14. There's quite a few bits and pieces you can do, that don't cost too much. Smoked indicators, rear cambridge lights, aero wipers etc. In relation to the wheels, banded steelies or some second hand alloys would be the cheapest option. A lot of it is just personal preference...I really wasn't keen on the standard interior that came with mine, so I picked up some gti seats for £100 and they've really made it look a lot cleaner on the inside.

    Last year I owned a 1.4 6n2 Polo, but when my insurance came around in February of this year, I felt like a change and something which stuck out a bit more...So I decided to go for a Fantasia Green 1.4 Sport Open Air, which I'm seriously enjoying. This is how the car stood when I bought it: I am a bit late at starting this thread, so I'll give a quick run down of what I've done in the last few months. First of all, I bought some smoked indicators and a black front badge: (could do with getting some silver vision bulbs to stop the orange reflection) Then, I got rid of the bump strips on the sides: Dewipered the rear and filled the hole with the speedtech glass blank: Next came the coilovers...I went for some FK AK Streets. Wound them all the way down and took the adjuster cups out: A couple of weeks ago I bought some front Lupo GTI seats from someone on the Lupo/Seat Arosa Facebook group: The interior is a work in progress as I'm waiting for funds, before I go looking for a rear bench, bottom doorcards, binnacle, cup holder, gear knob gaiter and possibly a steering wheel. Anyway, that's about it for now, I ordered a 90mm Sharan rear badge yesterday, so I will give an update when I get that on.

    Could get the number plate recess smoothed?

    Hello All

    Hello everyone After waiting a while for the right one to come up, I bought a 1.4 Sport (Open Air) in Fantasia Green last month. I've already done a few little mods and was debating doing a progress thread. Hopefully I'll bump into some of you at some shows this summer!
