Right...... I was just gonna start a new readers ride thread but as I've already got one and its got photos of my loop how she was when I first bought her I figured might as well just update this one As you can see this was how it was when I first got her and if you looks further through the thread this is how she is now, I will put some more photos up of bits and bobs that went on along the way but if you follow THIS link it will take you to my project car thread that is much more detailed. GO TO THE LAST PAGE OF THIS THREAD FOR MOST RECENT DETAILS AND PHOTOGRAPHS. 1999 v reg 1.4 16v Sport Lupo to 1.8 20v turbo 423bhp Now....

Right I bought this car off a good friend of mine as a run around to get me out of the sh*t whilst i fixed my daily 330d bmw a few months back, but i ended up enjoying the car that much i ended up keeping it for months. Due to being a whorder and owning 5 cars including this one now its time to get realistic and sell off some of the fleet I am no means selling this one because its the worst one i own as its actually been the most reliable, but I'm sure you can understand that i will be keeping my 330d and 20vt Mk2 Golf and selling the rest SPEC Jazz Blue1.4s 16vX red (2000)12 Months MOT97,500 MilesRecent service / Including GearboxElectric WindowsCoiloversSmoothed Front BumperSmoothed Boot LidDe Bump StripedBlack Carbon Wrapped Roof And MirrorsRear Pop Out WindowsLegal Pressed PlatesMk4 Golf Recaro Front SeatsAll Black Interior And PlasticsBlack Golf GTi Steels With Good TreadBad Bits Usual Stone chipsFront bumper has a crack in it but it has been like it since my friend bought the car years ago so its not going to get any worsePassenger side electric window is temperamental from the drivers side switch. works fine from the passenger switch thoughThe Carbon wrap is not the best JobSince Ive Owned It I bought the car with only 1 Months MOT left on it and a few small problems which my friend just couldn't find the time to sort due to his new job working away.

My new engine is finally being fitted in a rush as i need the car for bugjam to get in with my VW weekend ticket! There isnt enough time to make the car something amazing for Bugjam, so i think im literally just going to have my coilovers fitted! It doesnt matter though as im not going to be showing it anyway Not enough time to fit my wheels as with my custom adaptors my arches are going to have to be pulled like crazy! Plus im still sanding down the dishes so they can be polished AND i still havnt decided on a colour for the centres.. although think i might go for grey. I have custom panels (bootlid and doors) waiting to be put on but they still need painting, boo! No point in rushing when i can take my time and have it ready for Edition38 in september!

Welcome to my build for my arosa, Got quite alot planned and only just starting .. got my car away before Christmas and not actually done anything! but heres what ive done already and what has to follow.. JUN - 2012 , wheels ( ats cups ) and coilovers are bought will be fitted soon. JAN - 2013 , front bumper smoothed down along with a debaged grill and fitted lupo lights to the rear.. future mods in the works, golf recaro interior, double din head unit, new tyres for some stretch and more lows Updates will continue to get posted If you like what you see leave a comment! Is there anything you would like to see done next or any suggestions please hit me up

hey guys im brad, and this was charlie #1 until his clutch broke and was too much for my to afford alongside my insurance renewal.. My old corsa before that: 1.2 petrol (photoshopped but how i would've got it) My old arosa before the corsa: 1.7 sdi My living room when i had this My DERV Corsa: 1.7 CDTI But enough of my old cars, here's Charlie #2 - my 1.4 lupo: Spec List (I will update this as it goes along) -75hp version - Pop out windows - FK highsports - Now sold as i needed it higher for where i live - Remapped - BMC CDA air filter - GTI injectors + inlets - Manky oil breather (will be replaced soon) - Snowflakes for wheels (i'm getting new ones at some point) - GIANT EXHAUST (see picture) The day i collected it: After a good clean: Then came some lovely photos with my camera.. And then came the steelies (that got rusted onto in a matter of 3 weeks which are now gone) Anyone who knows me, or has met me will know i'm amazing at parking. (Bluewater meet) Excuse the crappy quality of this but i wanted to try a bonnet bra on, and luckily jay had one to lend me Since then i've had some bad luck, as in wrecked the bottom of my car + exhaust completely as well as taking chunks from my front bumper, as of which i have sold my fk highsports which i couldn't adjust as they are a bit unlooked after. But here's some more pics of the car with my girlfriends car whilst im doing the suspension. I have more progress on my phone etc but i will upload in time. I will post plans if asked. Look forward to hear from you!

just a little help please guys and girls, im currently smoothing off my indicator panel and was thinking of getting a sport fron lower bumper but how are they indicators mounted into the fogs light postions or will i need the actuall fog lights and swap the wires over to them cheers ryan
