    One year on since the last update, the car is still alive and working well. It did need some love at the end of last year in the form of a new PAS pump after the original one failed. Some new fluid was put on as well.

    I washed the car today and took some new pictures for you lot at a new spot i wanted to try.

    Car's looking very nice, I bet it rides perfectly on the Bilstein's :thumbsup:

    Also the silver one looks very well kept too, good job!

     

    There's not much more to do to your car anymore, is there? :lol:

    Glad to hear that! The Bilstein kit definitely made a positive difference in terms of handling ?

    - Thanks?, the silver one's completely original except for a Bilstein kit as well.

     

    Haha!, that's true... The only thing bugging me at the moment is the front bumper. It's got quite a lot of stone chip damage and could do with a respray... Might get that sorted over the winter ?

    So it has been a while since I last updated this page... Some progress has been made over the past months: 

    The Lupo's now fitted with a Bilstein B12 kit. On top of that, the antenna has been swapped with an original one, the break callipers have been re-painted and the car now has spacers in the rear.

     

    Here are a few pics I took today along with my brothers '01 GTI ;).

    I should update this more often, it's been nearly 6 months since last time :lol:

    The 15th of May marked the 2nd year of ownership of the car, and I sometimes wonder why I didn't buy one of these earlier... So far and since my last update, the car has had a very small service, new spark plugs and cleaning of the leads alongside a new air filter. I'm waiting to do the oil service, having already bough the filter and the oil.

    After having to jumpstart the car a couple of times, it turned out the old battery was dead. I tried doing a whole charging cycle on it which didn't work at all, so in the end I had to buy a new battery :rolleyes:.

    As for changes, I bought and installed a Gamma radio as the plan is to fit 8 speakers this summer. And yes, I know these were standard in the UK :P

    And now a couple pictures of a little drive I did this morning:

     Looking good as always! :wub:

    Very nice! Little bit jealous of the glovebox too! I also notice you have heated cloth seats, we only got heated with leather seats in the UK. Oh and ESP too!

    Thank you! Yeah, those are the pros of owning a German spec GTI B)...

    Therefore you guys got 8 speakers as standard!.. finding them in Germany was quite a pain :blink:

    It's sure come a long way since you've had it!

    What can I say, I think it looks just perfect, but I am biased with those wheels... Hopefully mine will be looking very similar in a few weeks' time :)

     

    Any further plans for it?

    It surely has :lol:... Thanks, I'm certain yours will look perfect too!

    I think that we might actually be the only anthracite Lupo owners with BBS 814 rims B) (or at least the only ones I know of :P)

     

    At this point there are only a few minor things that I have planned for it. The first is the antenna.. I want to get the original one!

    Them wheels look spot on. Standard bathursts are great but these are even better!

    What suspension you running and how much you lowered by?

    Thanks! ^_^... I'm running the original suspension with shorter springs from H&R. They make the car about 30 mm lower.

    At least yours came with some original mats... Where did you buy the ones you have now?

    I take it they are not VW original ones as they aren't available anywhere!

    Yeah, I guess that's something..^_^ 

    I got mine from: http://www.profimats.com/gambio_shop2/product_info.php/info/p370_velours-fussmatten-vw-lupo-6x1-6e1-bj--1998---2005.html . Im not here to advertise, however I can surely recommend them to you -_-

    Very nice! What's not to like?

    Apart from the wheels of course, but I get the feeling you're already working on that ;)

     

    Are those the original mats or did you get them made?

    Thanks!, and yeah!:D...

    Unfortunately, the car only came with the rear (original) mats.. As they where not in a very good condition, I got a complete new set.

    So I've been on this site for some time now and I figured it is about time I share my Lupo with you!

    She's a 2003, 6 speed Gti. The colors Anthracite gray and the interior is red. 

    I've had it since December and it's currently sitting on 16 inch Momo wheels (The previous owner had put them on). Besides them, it's basically standard, except for the radio, the antenna and the lowered suspension.

    Anyway, I'll just let the pictures do the talking! ;)

    Thanks :)

    When are you showing us your grey Lupo?

    I bet you're not the only one who took a picture of both our cars together :lol:

    Do you also have a brand new set of starlites in the attic? :lol:

    Will do so very soon!  I only picked mine up a couple of weeks ago... Still want to properly clean it before sharing it on here :D 

    From what I can tell though our cars are basically twins! :rolleyes:
