g60 steels look soooo cool on a loop.

looking sweet me old fruit - love the smell of 2 stroke! never ceases to amaze me what an artistic eye you have for a yorkshire man.....

bloody hell Jen!! so let me get this straight - ypuy bought that montewr black sport - you've flogged that and now bought a monter GTi - sorry for slow up take (baby and all) but jesus you don't hang around! looks a real beauty - making me even sadder that mine's going in a day and a half. keep the lupo love alive!

Very rare that you see my car like this...

Lets you search on your postcode in retail for an agent in your area.
Seen a van in Perth on Friday, but can't find an agent in PH1!?!??!
S!
no worries guys - found chips away in shrewsbury - should do the job nicely (i hope!)

well he just had a really crappy start. I thought I span up a bit too much at the start too.
when I had my type-r I took it to santapod a few times but could not get under 15.4 they ar equite difficult to launch.. when I saw him behind me I was thinking go go go go
I left for the rolling road after this.
by the end of the season I should really be hitting mid to low 15's in the lupo. then next year I'll be looking at engine upgrades, either supercharging or a replacement engine.
nice one James

I may be completely wrong, but isn't the A2 made from aluminum?
actually you are completly right. just need a 'cold' dent removal doing - no scratch or anything.
-
anyone know of any reputable mobile companies? Tried googling - but just came back with loads in london - unless i'm putting wrong thing in?? It's for the wife's A2 as some numpty at work opened door against her motor!
Posted this in car care section aswell!

Pm back at you bud.

Once again, thanks for all your kind messages. Money is understandably a bit tight at the moment - but I'm hoping to filter some cash into a special Bora 'fund'. Wheels will be the first thing......mmmm18" BBS RC's anyone?
-
Thanks boys - paul, check page one you doughnut!
-
congrats on the baby and sad to see the lupo go it was nice, did you quit smoking?
wayne
thanks mate, and erm......no

some good guesses! Adam - have you bought VRS then mate? If so, nice one! I did consider one of those. New Jetta no - but close ish - haven't the spondoolies for that! PMSL at Cliffo, yeah mate a W12!!
I have bought a 2003..........VW.........Bora - not much in the name I know but that depends which model you buy! I've got the (deep breath!) Bora 1.9 TDi PD Sport 150 - mucho niceness! 18,000 miles, Reflex silver, 1 lady owner, all round leccy windows, tape and in dash 6 CD player, electronic climate control, 6 speed, auto diming rear view mirror, auto wipers, computer, 16" alloys, golf gti interior (seats), grandad armrest, and genuine naff wood trim - puke my guts out! The wood is the only slightly slippers / pipe thing about it, the acceleration most certainly isn't, the mid range is awesome!

Well guys the day has come when my days of Lupo ownership are numbered. Hayley and I had a little boy last week (Freddie!) and I have had to grow up a bit and buy something a little more child friendly. Having said that, Hayley thinks I've bought a sensible car! You'll have to guess what it is though! Pick it up next Tuesday - really excited, but also sad to see my 3rd (by default!) GTi go. Still be around on here mind, wouldn't miss the banter!
Have a butchers in the for sale section as I'm going to be listing some of the kit that I have taken off my little Loopy.
Cheers lads and ladies, Alex

man, don't buy the dunlops, they're sh1te. toyos are smiles better
-
going by what dealers offer you any guide to a loop gti price is a load of old horse sh1te.
-
yeah probably right adam - i've posted a reply on the thread you pasted - to cut short i'm happy that a respected company were up front enough with me not to feck my arches up by trying!
-
i'd argue that the arch liner does add some integral strength - it's a chunky affair with not a massive amount of give in it.
still - rather have my arches unrolled - if a respected company doesn't want to feck them up then that's fine by me - i'm glad they were at least up front with didn't do it and knacker my car.

petrol is around 96p a litre - that's optiplop though
Brakes - why so bad ?

Hi James - sorry I didn't get back to you - been a bit tied up with baby stuff!
Everything that's been said on here is correct. I did put the discs in the boxes marked correctly for each side. Yes they do need a wee bit of heat in them - and yes they hum - I take it you haven't had grooved discs before bud? They are way better than standard set up - was the main reason I got them - because the standard set up scared the living daylights out of me!!
