So I'm back on here! Lupo number 3, Lupo GTI I loved my old one, so I felt like I should buy another!

So I bought this from Colin about a month ago. Spec is:

2002/52 Lupo GTI

63k

Aircon

Leather

Sunroof

OEM ipod connect (so basically all the OEM options)

Mods are:

Full respray by PHLEEEEEP at Kirkton

6R polo boot handle mod

Stubby driver side mirror

Cambridge rear lights

FK Coilovers

Polo 6R headlight switch

Polo 9N handbrake cover

The boring stuff also includes a new clutch and flywheel a couple of thousand miles ago.

Pics:

And one of my old one for fun:

Current plans are:

Fix coolant leak

MOT it

Fit the BBS RC's (fully refurbed with new tyres)

Fit the KW's

I have and get an exhaust made up and fit a BMC

Get my plate G7EGR on too

The car is immaculate, so the thoughts of progressing it into a show car may also be an option!

And if anyone is interested, this is my other car:

im bloody jealous now!!!! I've said for ages that i have never seen a lupo GTI with sunroof and Aircon, as this made me feel better that mine doesn't have aircon :angry2: but i do have heated leathers and a sunroof, so i can't complain too much.

I must now retrofit Aircon to solve this issue!

Thanks for all the comments so far! Cant see it getting much use tbh (or this year anyway) as the quattro is already the second car!

As for selling the wheels, make me an offer, but it would have to be a hideously ridiculous one!

I'm not even slightly jealous of the UR Quattro, any more pics?

Lupo is nice too, it will look great on those BBS's!

So not many exciting things to report here.

I have treated it to a full service and changed the passenger side window regulator as it was broken.

Next on the list is discs and pads and repaint the callipers - all of which I have ready to go on.

Then get the timing belt and water pump done and replace the radiator as its ****ed and we are good to go!

Yeah it is, and one of the reasons I wanted another. The leather is immaculate in it too which makes it a nice place to be!

Haha, I wish the plate was mine, its Colins (ColinG, previously Bluloop on here). Mine will go on once its MOT'd - G7EGR

So it's coming together... slowly laugh.png .

Started the brakes last night, and so far have one done. And not because I'm special laugh.png. The dust covers, rear beam and caliper itself were all very rusty, so I too the time to wire brush them and paint them to tidy it up.

Before and after

And a couple of wheel teasers (apologies for the dirty car)

So its almost complete! I have spent the past couple of weeks working on it for an hour or so each evening!

More brakes before and after:

Radiator side by side:

And fitted. Also sprayed the aircon rad and condensor black as I hate seeing it chipped!

Gave it a quick wash today and got proper photos. The only things left to do to it is, machine polish, fit the popper for the boot, get the headlight washers working and try and get it down my track for an MOT :)
