A guy up near Windermere had it on his, but he's putting his back to standard to sell so he offered it to me as a swap plus cash. Wanted the boot handle smoothed anyway so it made sense!

The car's looking spot on with the Coilovers finally on and I've got a new exhaust getting sorted on the 9th of June! All coming along nicely  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Loop Posted May 21, 2018 Report Share Posted May 21, 2018 Car's looking good! Plus sensible lows are always a good thing Standard exhaust or going aftermarket? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers! I wouldn't want it too low. Worrying about hitting speedbumps and stuff is not my idea of a good time! Going aftermarket, but I will be keeping twin pipes, I want it to look how the janspeed one looked basically!  13 hours ago, callmerik said: Very nice! Love the color Cheers! I do love the blue!

Skajme Posted June 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2018 (edited) New exhaust and bought some Wing mirror covers that I painted black. Ship shape Couldn't recommend Tony Banks enough! Exhaust is perfect and sounds lovely! Â Edited June 30, 2018 by Skajme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skajme Posted August 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 (edited) Couple more pics. Me and the missus went down to VWNW at Tatton Park today, really great day! Heading to VWfest next Sunday I think aswell! Finally got my new wheels on, love them! Â Edit: Fancy a smaller aerial, not a shark fin one, just a shorter one about the same length of the thick bit on the standard one. Any recommendations for a decent quality one?

I'm not 100% on if I'm actually going and it's a bit off show standard in places to be honest!  7 hours ago, ahiggins_1 said: Really nice tidy car! What are the spec's on the wheels and tyres?

ahiggins_1 Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 Thanks for the wheel spec's. Similar to what I've gone for. Hoping to fit them with minimal work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 you will be absolutely fine, all show cars are daily drivers in the stands and it will be appreciated for being a lupo gti and better than matt arosa's common blue one. i will have the secretary pm you for your number and she will harass you into it. good show, you will enjoy it.

Skajme Posted August 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2018 (edited) Quick update, got my smaller aerial, looks a lot neater! and I sprayed behind the VW badge to match the car. I'm looking at replacing the MK5 chrome VW badge with a '3D' one off newer Golfs, apparently they are near enough the same fit. Still need to get it wired up so it opens with the handle actually aswell! Need to find somewhere to take it as I know nothing about wiring!

Reedo Posted August 29, 2018 Report Share Posted August 29, 2018 How did you get your exhaust to sit so close to the bumper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They added another hanger near the tailpipes to give it more support Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
