Good afternoon everyone,
Sorry to crash the topic , but can anyone tell me if a 6j x 14" 4 x100 PCD ET45 VW steel wheel with a 155/65 R14 tyre would fit a GTi with standard brakes?
Any information appreciated
Thanks in advance,
Martin

@Tourist Sorry can't help you with one.
Andrew
No worries
Try asking Ben Gregg, he is Birmingham way I think- I can’t remember his forum handle, but he does post on the Facebook groups under his actual name.
All the best,
Martin

Be my guest Tourist - I know when to stand aside for a perfectionist! You may have gatecrashed as I bought my GTi about the same time but that was at Mill Garage (now Lookers).
If you have no luck I can let you have a Porsche key ring which my son cunningly bought me and then proceeded to persuade me to get the car to go with it!
Thankyou for your offer, if I get stuck I will let you know.
All the best,

Good morning peeps
Sorry to crash your thread (can’t find the “embarrassed” emoji ) , but would any of you happen to have a Massingberd Northallerton VW keyring and possibly business cards from around 2002 that you would consider parting with?
My GTi is their ex demo. from 2002 and I’m trying to find a good condition year correct keyring and two business cards with “Tim Lomas” and “James Fawcett” on them, but haven’t had much luck so far....
Thank you for reading, sorry once again for crashing your thread @Trumpeter
All the best,
Martin

I last saw a black GTI driving into Crawley about 2 or 3 years ago on the road that leads to the Police station. When I caught up with it, she turned off!
Well it is still there, so I guess it must be having work done, think I can see tyre stickers from the opposite side of the road where I am standing....

Either way, its ****ed now as its been to Kwik Bodge!
Think I've seen that around Crawley a few years back, was a lovely-looking young lady at the wheel if I recall correctly....
Good morning Martin,
It was parked around the side not directly out front, so goodness knows if it was being worked on or not.
I saw it approximately a year and a half ago (I think....) parked up in the Tesco's just down the road, it had a male driver at the time- it was one of those "look it's another Lupo, and it's a black GTi same as mine" moments....

'afternoon everybody
Spotted earlier today at Kwik Fit's branch in the Three Bridges area of Crawley, West Sussex.
Standard height L41 Lupo GTi with standard rear tail lights and alloys.
Was it you? (curious to know as mine is the same year and colour)
All the best,
Martin

The wipers are wrong but you probably got them from VW so it's their fault. Next time ask for a passenger side wiper from a MK4 Golf.
What exactly is wrong with the wipers?

Boot tray sold, ad. updated.

Good afternoon everyone,
Polite notice to all interested parties, please read:
All parts advertised are STRICTLY CASH ON COLLECTION IN PERSON at this time- this is due to accomodation and workplace restrictions, and having been on the receiving end of very poor customer service from most of the major courier services recently....
Appologies for any inconvenience caused.
Thankyou for reading,
Martin.

Good evening all interested parties
Just another clarification for everyone and in case I have not mentioned it in my initial post- all the parts are advertised on a "strictly first come/first served/first with the cash" basis as I think that it is fairest this way
At the time of writing this post, NO ONE has pm'd. me privately to say that they definately want any particular part.
So I will leave it up to you peeps as to who is having this foamy boot protector whatsit thingy....
@mk2 Do you want the boot tray?
If so, please would you kindly pm. me to confirm collection details etc.
Thank you for your interest,
Martin

Cargo tray still available? Been looking for an original one... Pm me
Good evening mk2,
Yes the cargo tray is still available, it came from my local VW dealer and still has the VW stickers on the plastic wrapper complete with some genuine VW UK warehouse dust on it I think....
Just to clarify for yourself and anyone else reading this- this boot/cargo tray or whatever you want to call it, is a used item and looks like it is some sort of foam-like construction and I wanted to keep it in as good as condition as I could when I bought it, so I left it in it's wrapper
Hope this helps,
Martin

Mats still available bud?
Good evening,
Yes, the mats are still available- have you checked what fixings your Lupo has?

As per title- Wanted in very good condition, 1 x Massingberd Group key ring as shown in the attached photograph BUT with "01" prefix to the telephone numbers:
Any help/leads/further information etc. greatly appreciated and received.
The later versions I have been told are likely to have been blue leather with the polished “Volkswagen” flap on them and the Northallerton details on the reverse.
Also business cards with “Tim Lomas” and “James Fawcett” and tax disc if anyone has them?
Thankyou in advance,
Martin

For information purposes, the below picture is what the loom plug that attaches to the starter motor should look like:
And here is a close up shot of the fixing holes and carpet mat retainers that the mats have:

Edited because I misread the post, oops....
Rear brake pipe hose wtf
in Car Care, Maintenance and Mechanical
Posted
Good afternoon everyone
The VW part numbers for the rear calliper hoses are as follows (they are one piece flexi. assembly with integral rigid pipe attached):
NSR= 6X0 611 763 C
OSR= 6X0 611 764 D
From what I can work out, there is currently no option on sources for a standard spec. hose for a GTi other than through the dealer/TPS network, hopefully this will change in the future
