  1. Looks great, good job. Merlin Purple is such a subtle colour IMO, I really like it
  2. If I had of known you were selling the interior I would have snapped your hand off! Been on the lookout for one for a while now, it's about the last thing I'm missing for mine! Sounds great with the Janspeed. Considering changing my Scorpion exhaust for a full Kam Racing one with sports cat soon
  3. Welcome! MK2 looks good, always had a soft spot for them. Any plans for the Arosa, or are you concentrating on the MK2?

    Doubt I'll go white, alreay have the white Compomotives. The more I think of red the more I like the idea
  5. Welcome along. Lived in Spain for a while and remember looking at some Lupo GTIs & they were quite expensive! Any plans for the car?
  6. There's a sticky at the top of the page with pictures of a lot of members installs. Link

    Things are moving along on the Lupo, and while I haven't done anything to it since my last post (or driven it much!) things will be changing soon! The Compomotives are in getting refurbed and should be ready today or tomorrow, then it's the OZ's turn, but this is where I'm looking for some assistance. I was thinking of getting them done gold, but now I'm not so sure. Anyone any ideas or other suggestions? Anyone any good with photoshop that could knock up a few colours? At the moment I'm thinking a gold, white or a candy red. Will be updaing soon with some actual progress!
  8. Do you have the CCM? If so, what part number is it?

    Another update. Car was due a service and was leaking coolant from somewhere so I took it down the the mechanic I used. Along with this, I asked for the brake fluid to be changed and for the drivers door lock to be replaced because the interior light, the 'lights on' buzzer and the remote central locking all weren't working. It turns out the coolant leak was coming from the radiator, so I had a new one fitted, a new tie rod and tie rod end on the passenger side, and the other bits mentioned above. Delighted to have the car back, although the 'lights on' buzzer and remote central locking still don't work. Not too concerned about the buzzer, but the remote central locking is a bit of a pain. I think at this stage it's the CCM, which I hear is expensive. Also, when I open the boot and go to close it, it just bounces back so I think that lock could do with replacing too. With that said, I still love the car after over 4 and a half years of ownership, and I have a few plans for the year ahead so hopefully they come to fruition! Will keep the thread updated if & when they happen
  10. Still have the Convenience Control Unit? If so, can you confirm the part number on it?
  11. If you do break it, I'm also interested in the interior
  12. These are back in stock now for people interested. (No, it's not me selling them, just noticed after clicking on the link)

    Has to be taken care of I have to say, I much prefer the single exit to twin pipes. Each to their own as you say On the look out for some MK4 recaros if anyone knows of any going

    Haven't updated this in a while, but I still have the Lupo - no plans at all to get rid of it! Treated it to a Polish yesterday, came out looking excellent, however it will get a respray at some point. Also need to take the OZs off for the winter as the drivers side rear is leaking air and I want to have the barrels painted a different colour.
  16. Welcome along. Where abouts are you from?
  17. Slowly tbh! Won't have most of the things I want done to it in time for Dubshed, but I'll slowly get them done! They're great cars though
  18. Welcome Cian. You taking the TT to Dubshed?
  19. Cheers lads. I've recently replaced the passenger side lock, but I'll have the drivers side one replaced and hopefully it'll sort the remote central locking too
  20. Does your remote central locking work? I have the same issue, interior light working and alarm goes off if you don't turn the ignition quick enough. I assumed it was the CCM but if it's the door lock I'll replace that and see if it resolves the issue

    Yea, the more I look at that picture, the more I think that a little camber and it'll sit just right. I'm also having strong urges to go the air route, and maybe the new wheels will be the straw that broke the camels back so to speak.
