What suspension you running and how much you lowered by? Thanks! ... I'm running the original suspension with shorter springs from H&R. They make the car about 30 mm lower.

What can I say, I think it looks just perfect, but I am biased with those wheels... Hopefully mine will be looking very similar in a few weeks' time Any further plans for it? It surely has ... Thanks, I'm certain yours will look perfect too! I think that we might actually be the only anthracite Lupo owners with BBS 814 rims (or at least the only ones I know of ) At this point there are only a few minor things that I have planned for it. The first is the antenna.. I want to get the original one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also notice you have heated cloth seats, we only got heated with leather seats in the UK. Oh and ESP too! Thank you! Yeah, those are the pros of owning a German spec GTI ... Therefore you guys got 8 speakers as standard!.. finding them in Germany was quite a pain Edited June 26, 2017 by callmerik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

callmerik Posted May 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2018 (edited) So it has been a while since I last updated this page... Some progress has been made over the past months: The Lupo's now fitted with a Bilstein B12 kit. On top of that, the antenna has been swapped with an original one, the break callipers have been re-painted and the car now has spacers in the rear. Here are a few pics I took today along with my brothers '01 GTI . Interior shots: Finally a couple of pics of my brothers car: Edited May 20, 2018 by callmerik 1 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 very nice, I bet it rides perfectly on the Bilstein's Also the silver one looks very well kept too, good job! There's not much more to do to your car anymore, is there? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's not much more to do to your car anymore, is there? Glad to hear that! The Bilstein kit definitely made a positive difference in terms of handling ? - Thanks?, the silver one's completely original except for a Bilstein kit as well. Haha!, that's true... The only thing bugging me at the moment is the front bumper. It's got quite a lot of stone chip damage and could do with a respray... Might get that sorted over the winter ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
