Haha! @sj2112 still got it ☺️ Acquired a new reg plate last year!

STL files for the jets/nozzles, gimbals and caps. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5569787?fbclid=IwAR1_52p8TcCV3SPz9SoNtre0J2ylqeu1Swjj_k9V62XPS86sxpkpKDMD5Is OEM parts 3D scanned and released by a chap on the Lupo GTI Facebook group. I have a 3D printer but opted to have a set of the jets/nozzles professionally printed in nylon by 3D People for £35. Perfect replacements.

What are you recommendations for replacement tyres for Bathurst 15” alloys? OEM size is 205 45 R15 but with Toyo Proxies looking like they’re getting harder to come by we’re short on options 😅

Just in case anyone else is reading this with the same issue, it turns out it was just down to an old/degraded battery. I swapped it for a new one and the flickering stopped. Who knew.

@Grumpy Destined for the scrap heap 😉😂

Thanks @lupogtiboy! @Johnstanyer96 Could you send me the STL file? I have a 3D printer! 🙏

Hello folks. I went to gave my windscreen a spray today using the washer jets and the drivers side headlight spray squirted out in a big jet of soapy suds. Upon inspection the atomiser/mister nozzle from the jet arm has vanished. Doesn’t look like this was ever available as a spare part, instead only the whole arm (part number 6E0955104). Does anyone have any spares? Just the nozzle or even the whole arm if you aren’t willing to split. Part diagram highlights the complete part, where as the image found highlights the specific bit I’m after. Many thanks

@mk2 What are the replacement bulbs I need? Not had to ever replace a xenon before. I lived in London for 12 years until the beginning of this year so it may well have been me 😊

@mk2 Thank you. But what is this tube you mention? 😅

Anyone else had their xenon headlights flicker slightly? They don’t flicker on/off but more of an effect as if someone is lightly shaking them. Any smarter people than I have an idea what might be causing it? Alternator/voltage related?

Now sold. Like new. Pristine, scratch and scuff free rear bumper for Lupo GTI. All clips intact. Part number 6E0807417B Can be collected (N7, London) or sent via courier at the buyers own expense. £75

I’m thinking of swapping out the OEM exhaust on my GTI for a stainless steel replacement. Nothing drastically wrong with the original one, but the years are taking its toll on the ferrous metal of the existing one. So I’m doing my research now! I want to keep the dual tail pipe look, go full stainless steel and I don’t want anything that sounds silly. A small increase in tone would be nice. I’ve boiled it down to either the Janspeed or Kam Racing options. The Janspeed is a bit more of a straightforward cat back swap out, where as the Kam Racing one seems to have a few options that I would need help choosing. Not being anything of an expert in this domain I thought I’d ask here to gauge opinion. A new Janspeed cat back is £510 inc VAT. Thanks 😊

Thank you all. I took another look and saw nothing out of place. So, I went to town with greasing the rails. Sorted it! There must have just been too much old crusty grease causing resistance.

Hi folks. The drivers side electric window in my Lupo won't go all the way down. It works faultlessly otherwise. It doesn't get stuck, the motor doesn't click. But it stops about three quarters of the way down as if it's reached the bottom. I've tried a new switch. Inside the door I've checked the rails and they're nicely lubricated and the sliding white clips aren't broken or dislodged. Has anyone else experienced this? What is the likey culprit? I could replace the regulator but don't know whether to buy a kit that also includes a replacement motor or not. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

😂 Get in line, Rich.
