They are all the same crap anyway, just with different stickers on them or different coloured springs.
-
So is it then up to the MOT tester themselves if it's safe or not?
Yes, basically.
-
I had the blue ones, depends on what you want, you can get the grey ceramic ones, totally awesome(Use them at work) but destroy discs and and noisy.
-
Really? Pics?

You need a belt KIT, not just a belt. They are £80-100 for a decent one. Then a water pump and then a aux belt.
-
Rare yes, nice looking...
Not so much in my opinion.
True.
-
There was a set on eBay for 1K last year. On there for ever tho.
Pretty rare.

Surprised nobody has asked about coilovers before...

Waste of money.

Powerflex Rear Bumpstop Kit.
Bought these for my GTI, never got round to fitting them, they are a universal kit, but are almost identical to the Lupo’s, only stiffer. Perfect for lowered cars. So brand new in box.
Won't fall apart like VW ones.
SAF-018 Might have been discontinued.
Same as these...

AST Solid Top Mounts for Lupo
Bought these last year and ran them on my Lupo over the summer. They are one of the best mods you can make to improve a Lupo’s handling IMO. Allows you to adjust the castor and camber very easily, and take play out of the suspension.
They are in excellent condition, the bolts have been swapped for polished stainless steel ones.
They do require the strut towers to be filed out, I did the this with a round file, its pretty DIY. Instructions will be included. Will fit all Lupo’s and Arosa’s. The internal bearings are still perfect.
As can be found here....

I would get some Brembo Max discs. Been faultless on mine. Taxox G88? are known as cheese graters as they eat pads and are pre-tempered which stops them warping but makes them very prone to cracking.
Pads wise I wouldn't get anything but Pagid RS pads(Competition range ones) was totally blown away by how good they are. They never squeeled, but were mega expensive, about £150 a set.
Genuine stuff is also junk for the money. Just get some cheap discs and pads, or Pagid ones from GSF, prob wont notice a difference.
Get hoses from HEL... http://www.brake-lines.co.uk/?gclid=CJeU5pma360CFWQntAodXiPPmw
Fluid wise use DOT5.1 fluid from Halfords and just change it every 6 months, if you boil it upgrade it, you won't boil it on the road if the fluids good! Even though people say you can. lol

I actually done my lessons in a Mini S lol. Was bloody rapid.... My instructor turned many a blind eye, and also enjoyed the long back road home lol.
Never had it past 100mph though, so yeah.. Soz.
Obviously my experience isn't exactly a "lived with" one though..
The week I passed my test was the week he got rid of it, some numpty learner blew a seal or something again n he was tired of replacing it, so ended up getting a brand new A1
Bet you felt like a boss.
What a stupid car for an instructor. Think of the fuel bill.
Yeah, that would be the crankshaft oil seal, very common issue with them due to **** engines giving massive piston blow by.
-
What other mods do you have? It can just make it a pain to drive in traffic and a bit pointless if its not particularly track orientated IMO
Probably won't make any difference in traffic.
Not like Gran Turismo where a car wont go up hills with a lightweight flywheel.
-
Another one.
-
They would end up very high welded ontop of Lupo bases.
-
Yeah, they are different, I had a battle with Autoglass to get a genuine screen fitted, they agreed to phone VW and check after a few phone calls as they didn't believe me.
Two non VW ones cracked in my car and another one broke when they were fitting it! So I would get genuine.

Sata and DeVillbis are overkill for DIY, it's more the painter than the gun at this level.
Most guns like that will be HVLP so need a good compressor, not a Halfords one.
I use Sealey HVLP guns at work, I only paint parts though, not panels. Sata guns are way heavy, and expensive if they go wrong.

Just go gentle for a few hundred miles.
Actually it's a Lupo gearbox... Always go gentle!! LOL
