Haha that is class! That would have been a brilliant vynal for the car. I hope the new owner enjoys the car as much as I have.

Deposit Taken.

Hi All, Sorry no P/X please as I have another VW lined up to replace this, thanks.

For Sale! http://forums.clublupo.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=73429&st=0

Hi All my Lupo SDI is for sale, it's a genuine car with all the right bits to roll trouble free or take to another level. Make: Volkswagen Model: Lupo 1.7 SDI "S" MOT: July 2011 Engine size: 1700cc Fuel type: Diesel Milage: 105,000 Service History: Full Service History Reason for Sale: Moving to a more Powerful car Location: Coleraine, Northern Ireland but willing to meet at all major Airports/ Ferrys in N.I. Price: £2750 Contact Jason: 07745710936 (If I cant answer, leave a message and I will ring you back asap!) I have owned the Lupo since December 2007 when it was traded into my brother at a VW dealership with 4 Lady owners previous to me. It's a genuine straight car which has never been damaged, HPI report can be provided. I modified the car with the intentions of a unique looking, economic first car. I had all four arches pulled and rolled, removing the inner lips for maximum clearance then gave the car a full respray in it's original yellow with the exception of the roof and bootlid. I have used TA Tecnix coilovers which have been fantastic value for money. The 1.7 engine has enough life in it to buzz along motorways with ease as proved on a round trip to Holland and a few trips to mainland UK yet it's party piece is that it always achives 60-65mpg making these cars so appealing. The car has NEVER let me down EVER and certainly will be hard to replace in terms of economy and reliability. I have replaced many parts in my 3 years of ownership, more for my own piece of mind rather than out of necessity, these include: 2x Rear Wheel bearings Front Subframe Front Wishbones and bushings Front Antiroll Bar bushings Front Ball joints Front Track Rod Ends Steering arms Pedal Box (Common Fault) New Exhaust Glow Plugs Front Discs & Pads Rear Brake Shoes Items like the Subframe were replaced due to the lowness of the car damaging it and the pedal box is common to break the clutch pedal so i replaced it with a Genuine VW item when I noticed it starting to give way. On top of these parts there is: Chassis leg notch to accomodate extremme lowering Colour coded headight inners Kenwood Head Unit Bluetooth Handsfree Alpine Components & Tweeters MTX audio Amplifier JL Audio Subwoofer Azev A wheels 15x7 with almost new Bridgestone RE040's and spacers The wheels had a professional refurb to manufacturer standards costing around £400. The car has had much sucess which is a nice bonus as it was never my intentions to win prizes, these include: Best Lupo - GTI NI Show Castlewellan 2008 Runner Up Lupo - GTI NI Show Castlewellan 2010 3rd Place Lupo - M.I.V.W. Holland 2010 Also it has appeared on the Performance VW stand at Edition 38 2008 In Performance VW's "Built Not Bought" section In FastCar magazine for a full feature and A3 poster I have proabably left some bits out but to summarise the car is a genuine example which never fails to attract attention and it's in fantastic condition ready to be driven hassle free for plenty of years to come.

Plenty of change since I last posted here. . . See you spring time

Haha I'll get Xenon's by hook or by crook! Nice to hear from you again May be buying a complete car in the future so that is of some help! Thanks!

Anyone able to recommend a breakers atall? I'm well into a random yet completely aimless search of the internet which isn't turning up much.

Hi this is mines and as far as I remember i was indeed sleeping with my legs on the mirror, not a comfortable position! Thanks for the comments, particularly pleased with the lights. Putting the wheels up for sale if anyones interested?

Not looking for after market! I just assumed Bi-Xenon would have been an option at the time! I also know about headlight washers being a requirement, I'll just revert to standard for the test. Anyone recommend any big breakers on the mainland to try to narrow my search? Thanks

I am down the Port most sundays!

Hi All, I hope some of you can help. I have been searching the For Sales for a while for a Complete Disc Brake rear beam (GTI or Sport) and some Xenon's (Bi-Xenon preferred!) but have had no luck, they seem to be for sale not that often and when they do come up I have missed them. I live in Northern Ireland and none of our breakers yards seem to have the parts. Can anyone recommend a place to try on the mainland or help me out with the search in anyway? Many thanks, Jason.

Wheres that at? I have the debit card ready!

Hi there, love the work on the Lupo. Would you ever be able to provide the dimensions of the metal pieces used to make this engine mount? It would be massively useful to me!

Don't want to do away with the bar, I have long term engine upgrade plans. I have basically been running the car low for a year and my subframe has a few splits and stress fractures so I bought a genuine replacement. I'm welding a few strengthening plates on it, seam welding it and the wishbones and Polybushing the whole car. I thought while the lot is out, I'll upgrade. Just priced a new GTI ARB and it's less than £60, my current is 18mm and if the GTI is 22mm that should be a suitable upgrade. Going to fit a rear ARB when i go disc brakes on the rear, so I can polybush the bean and fit the ARB in one go. Thanks for all your input, much appreaciated, still surprised no-one offers an upgrade thicker than a GTI item!

Ran -ve 2deg on the front and -ve 3deg shims on the rear when I had 13x8 and 13x10 on.

Doubtful it could be flipped since it follows the shape of the exhaust tunnel etc. Haven't measured this one, but for the sake of changing the ARB, I would go thicker than a GTI one, rather do the job once etc!

Hi all, I'm going to soon have the front subframe out of the lupo and thought I could cure two probles at the one time. Such is my lowering, the Anti-Roll bar is rubbing on the chassis. Does anyone know if any modified ARB's have an altered shape to avoid rubbing? If anyone has any experience of this please speak up, especially feedback on recommended ARB's! Here's a few pics of the problem: Many thanks!

I live between Castlerock and Benone so i may see you! Also in a yellow lupo.
