Blue Loop Posted May 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2016 Well, time for a bit of an update! Nothing too exciting has happened to the car, it got serviced by Mr. Jon_273 while I looked and tried to learn how to do it. After that it's just been used, washed and used again with the most remarkable trip being one to Italy for the day. I still haven't got round to getting the pictures from my camera to the computer, so these phone pictures will have to do for now: In other more annoying news, my aircon doesn't work. So that's another thing to get sorted 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Loop Posted June 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 (edited) Update time! So this week's jobs were to raise the exhaust a little bit and to fit new wheel arches, as the ones that came with the car were broken. Somebody at some point thought it would be a good idea to rivet them and add some Scotch tape all over. I sometimes wonder what really goes on inside some peoples' minds... So, out with the old (and out with your usual dirt behind the wheel arches): And in with the new: After this, it was time to raise the exhaust a little bit. Here you can see the mess we make whenever we work on our cars... So far no neighbours have complained, so all is good And the final product: Next update will be much much more interesting Edited June 5, 2016 by Blue Loop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Loop Posted August 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2016 No big update as of yet, I've moved houses and haven't had time! I've come to Spain on holidays, driving the Lupo. It's been great for the 1000 miles of driving and was lucky enough to have 20ºC all the way through France, so no sweating due to my non-working aircon Over here, the car has been properly cleaned and polished. Barely used it as it's too hot to drive around with no aircon (the SDi does the same job and it's cheaper to run), which should be sorted and working *fingers crossed* tomorrow. The BBS wheels should be on by the end of the week too, let's hope it all works out and I can go back with a fully working aircon and some new wheels! And a picture of the climate control, as requested by Mr. Jon and awaited by Mr. Rich:   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to try and take some pictures here in Spain while I'm here... But it's difficult between seeing everybody and sleeping siestas 20 hours ago, jon_273 said: Full house for the buttons. No blanks in sight! It looks brand new! You know it could do with paint in a couple places, but for a 2002 car you can't really complain, can you?   In other news, my aircon is now working perfectly. Turns out the compressor was shot and VW quoted me 1000€ for parts and labour for a new one. 100€ and some dirt in my hands later, I have a working second hand one in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 I'd much rather have ac and no sunroof. It is one of the lesser points on my gti. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 Sunroof is gonna leak at some time and AC is for girls. Be a man! Open the windows. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks a lot I'll throw in another picture for good measure I think I'm going to leave it like it is. It's not super low but it's practical, and looks good. As for how it drives... well, those people at KW certainly did a good job! I'm only missing my BBS wheels now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skajme Posted October 2, 2016 Report Share Posted October 2, 2016 Look's about as low as I have mine, does look good! You thought about some spacers for the rear wheels? I have 20mm's on mine and it stops the wheels hiding in the arches nicely I really want a Anthracite GTI though now seeing this one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
