christophertr6 Posted February 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 So to end the story. Just collected the GTI from the paint shop. They have lost to P from Lupo & didn't put the GTI badge back on the back but overall I'm happy with the finish. Need to clean the dust out, black the tyres & grill but she's done. One thing - I picked the car up from the spray shop and the remote key worked fine. Got home and it just stopped working. Will start the car fine but no locking etc. Its a new battery in the plip. The other one works fine, and I have tried the recoding procedure from here & you tube but doesn't work. Mystified. Any clues out there? Did a tot up of the cost of this project. If I exclude the spare bits that I have bought & will re sell, the costs add up to just over £4,500 including the car purchase. So I reckon I have a nice 70,000 miler on a late plate for about the right money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupogtiboy Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 Looks great! I don't have the GTi or Lupo on the back of mine either, keeps people guessing! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mickster Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 £4500 sounds like a great price, granted you've put a hell of a lot of time and effort into it but this is such a pleasing thread, real labour of love and a tribute to the Lupo GTI imho! Mine doesn't have Lupo on the back either which I don't mind but I think I'd miss it not saying GTI, to paraphrase Skinner from The Simpsons "that's how you know it's a GTI!" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christophertr6 Posted February 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 Has anyone got a spare "P"? or Lupo badge?. I know its common to de badge then but I want mine as standard as possible. VW cant supply one and the passed me to VW Heritage......who couldn't supply one. I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

lupogtiboy Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 Can't you buy individual letters from Halfrauds? I'll have a look and see if I can find one, I used to have two Lupo badges on mine like a Lupo crossword! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christophertr6 Posted February 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 If you have the whole badge it would be great. The spray shop said they have lost the P but haven't given me back the other letters either so who knows! Thanks for looking. Cash waiting.

christophertr6 Posted February 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 Apparently the spray shop has found the O (the P wasn't missing) - we shall see. Thanks for looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christophertr6 Posted March 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 Life.....whats it all about eh? Picked up my Lupo badge today - good thing. Went a couple places and returned home to find n/s headlight nozzle & cover cap have launched themselves somewhere on the M25. I suspect the spray shop damage a delicate bit on the washer body so the nozzle was not retained. So pissed off. They were new bits from VW and cost around £40 - and I had the cover sprayed. OK in the scheme of things its not too big a problem, but just when I could stop "doing" and start driving. Any body got a spare nozzle & N/S cover?
