Jimibland Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 (edited) Hey! So after owning my 1l lupo for around 6months I felt the need to upgrade! So after saving for ages I came across a very tidy, well looked after raven blue gti. I haven't done too much to it so far but thought I'd start a thread as I'm now starting to make some changes. When I first got the car it already had weitec highcon gt coiovers, black oz route wheels and a janspeed cat back. Shortly after getting the car I put my bbs on and spaced the back out 20mm. A couple of pics out and about. From then on I was just having fun driving the car and going to shows and meets. Then started buying a few other bits and pieces. I then bought some recaro pole positions. I ended up waiting around 3 months for them to come into the country due to massive delays on the frames, but they are defiantly the best seat I have ever sat in!! Oh and they're winter matts!Up and coming plans include stripping the rear of the car out, custom splitter, harnesses and steering wheel. Then move onto getting her sitting a bit better. Thanks for looking Edited December 19, 2014 by Jimibland 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimibland Posted December 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 Over the past few nights I've been been prepping my bigger dishes so I can start the re-build. It's something I've been meaning to do for a while now! It's not the funnest of jobs that's for sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimibland Posted December 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 A little snap from fitteduk hq the other week after giving her some love to protect against the winter weather. I also made a very small start on stripping the back! Still a way to go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimibland Posted January 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 So I've just ordered my harness' I will post a pic up once they're fitted! Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimibland Posted January 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 Not much to update on really. My harness' are on back order for another week or so too. I've bought a dished OMP wheel off a mate, just need a boss and I can get it fitted. I've also been thinking about making some areo parts but we'll see what happens.

Jimibland Posted February 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 Earlier on this week I recived this photo from wheel unique. I dropped my wheels there earlier on this week for polishing and to be built on bigger dishes. Hit them up for all your wheel needs, there work is epic!!

Jimibland Posted February 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 Another little update! My harness' turned up so I had to have a trial fit. I'm pretty please with how they look, I'll fit them properly this weekend along with taking the other belts out. Also wheel Unique have finished my wheels Just need to pick them up. Had my arches rolled last week too - I can't wait to fit them! Cheers James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimibland Posted February 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Just a small update! I picked my wheels up- the finish is amazing make sure you hit up dan at wheel unique for all wheel related needs. I lowered the car quite abit more and also tried a wheel on whilst I had the backs off! Unfortunately I had to raise the front due to really bad rubbing from the drive shaft - I need a notch. I think I might space them a little more though!Thanks for looking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
