LupoJud Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 (edited) As i only passed in december, try & keep your mods subtle, the first things i did was stubby aerial, debadged & grommited to back wiper as there cheap but affective, ive put g60 steels on mine as there stamped vw & could get away with being originals, if you were to lower it lower it so its gti kinda height, no point it scraping as thats when it gets noticed... Good luck! Edited May 4, 2015 by LupoJud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 Nice first car.40mm lowering springs and some OE wheels, from a 4x100 VW.Depends on budget, but there are some pretty nice OE wheels which suit the Lupo.Polo GTI BBS RXII are 2 piece splits and look nice on a Lupo as do BBS RA443.Spend your first year or two getting it clean and loving it.

Dblock Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 ???You changed your post. I assumed you was in a non English speaking country with that level of spelling and grammar. I'm not grammar Nazi but that was bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FSASjosh Posted May 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2015 Hey thanks for the tips guys! I'm in need of a bit of money and I think after that i'm going to buy some decent alloys but I'm just unsure about lowering it because the excess cost to declare it, but hopefully that will get sorted soon enough, next thing i'm doing is reapholster some of the shabby grey parts, but I think a new gear stick is needed as the leather loojs a bit **** and it's scratched, any idea what sticks can fit???

Craig birch Posted May 10, 2015 Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 You can get a knob and gaiter combo off eBay for about £15 new genuine item. I got one for mine. I think its leather knob with a vinyl boot. Comfier than the standard lupo item You just lift up the gaiter to find a metal clip, snap it off with pliers pull knob up and it's done Fit new one and squeeze the new clip tight. No need to replace the stick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
