AlexTRea Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 (edited) Hello! Been a very long time since i was on club lupo! I am after a set of GTI front wings as my girlfriend has a 1.4 sport and wishes to convert it to the GTI bumpers as she works in a body shop! Im also after a set of brand new or barely used set of AP Coilovers for a 2000 1.4 Lupo Sport. Any help would be appreciated! Cheers Alex!

Rich Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 if she works in a body shop then she should get the bumper, hold it up to it and just curve the edge of the wings where it is pointy now with a grinder and little strips of metal. like doing a 3l conversion properly. using gti wings means fabricating the bottom sill section butchering the wings you have now. easier and cheaper to just do above.

AlexTRea Posted October 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 Yeah I've mentioned the fact the sills will have to have some work. So you're basically recommending building up and flaring the original wings the same way you would do the back? Build them up and smooth them out etc meaning the sills wont have to be butchered to fit the GTI wings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 I'm telling you the flare of the arches up front is a myth and you can use standard wings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
