  3. I sold the beast in December, but I want it back now! Trying to sort stuff out with the new owner atm! Fingers crossed
  4. After selling the lupo, I then bought a polo 9N. Wasn't going to post up on here again, but a dont really like clubpolo as much as clublupo! So here is the story of when i got it to how it is now! Its a 2003 Polo 9N se, which is far better equipped than the lupo, 1.4 more-door in Rosewood Red. Here's a pic when i got it: Interior looked as if something had been living with it, but after a couple of hours, i got it looking like this: Gave the car a quick wash today, whcih wasnt the best as it kept freezing over: First off, i took off the trims, fitted new head light bulbs and debadged the rear. It needed a new grill, as i think someone tried to steal the badge and failed. I then bought myself a new grill thats basically brand new for a tenner! Then my wheels came along - went for tt comps as i thought they would look good with the body shape and colour. Went for AP coilovers this time: Here are the pics of it all together(apologies as they are phone pics) Really happy with how the wheels sit on the car, seem to sit more flush than i thought. AP coilovers seem to be less harsh than the Fks were on the lupo which is a bonus too. Front is a bit high atm, but waiting for them to settle before i decide to go lower. Sorry for the long post, but i thought i would stick everything in. There will be plenty more updates as i am planning to take this quite far. Comments welcome
  5. Really great car, and always enjoy reading about it. Will have to keep going on here i think to see your updates!
  6. The car has now gone to its new home. Think the new owner might be coming on here though, so you'll still see the car.
  7. I'm Greig from Aberdeen. Here is my car: Will have some better pics in a couple of days. Got some night shots on tuesday
  8. Hi, Have found some S3 seats on golf mk2 runners for sale. Just wondered if they would fit in the lupo on these runners? If not, how would i go about fitting them in the car. Many thanks, Greig
  9. Vw starlights (14") on low profile tyres: VW polo gti splits on 195/45/15:
  10. Hey, Did a search with no result, so wondered if anyone could tell me how to split the headlights so i could smoke them. Do i just put them in the oven for a bit, or are they different to split? Cheers, Greig
  11. Another quick question - how do you remove the dash vents in the lupo (everything including the light controls)? Was going to do it this afternoon, but cant see how its done. Cheers, Greig
  12. Hadnt got a reply by the time i tried it, so went for it and all was well. Cheers for the replys anyway
  13. If i unplug the dash clocks, will i lose the mileage/or get any warning lights when i plug it back in. Probably a stupid question, but thanks in advance.
  14. Quick update. The rear adjusters are now out from the back, so it looks a lot better. Since i have never taken a photoshoot of my car and now that i have passed, i thought i would do. Westburn Park: Torry Battery: Lowness:
  15. 'Is your car really that low that it hits the kerb when the doors open' 'Yes' 'Oh i thought people were taking the p***' And yes it really has happened!
  16. His choice what he does with his car. Will be good to see something a bit different, even if its not to everyones taste.
  17. Eastside has been down for the past couple of weeks. Something to do with the Australian hosts i think. And cheers
