bossjohnc Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 (edited) That's a confusing but awesome spec!(wheels only ever available in Germany - climate control never available in the UK)What you need is a VW MCD sat nav, and VW Phatbox to finish that off.That would then be the spec to die for.

AndyW Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 Nice car, this is the german spec one is it?It cant be german spec as its right hand drive!Ah not this again style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> This car is great, and I have to say, while its mostly a complete accident on your part Rob, this is my favourite GTi on the this forum other than mine of course, and maybe Lincolnshires GTi in runner up.I just love the climate control screen, and those wheels, yum. Bossjohnc is very very correct, grab an MCD sat nav unit off ebay, wack it in and you have the best OEM GTi on the forum, all imho.If you get chance mate, post a better interior shot, taken from the passenger side is always best. Only if you get chance of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ty Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 How do you find your cliamte control works? cant really fault mine at all! stick it on auto and it does the rest style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
db Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 Very nice mate, i love those wheels and plates. Did you have it in the winter? I ask as i want to know whether you've used your heated seats yet, i've got them in mine and they're excellent on those frosty mornings. Have you changed the rear wiper or did it come like that? The only thing i would change though, if it was my car, would be to swap the head unit and cd changer around. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":thumbup:" border="0" alt="thumbup.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob GTI Posted June 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 i have used it in the winter yes, and i love the heated seats, i dont know what people are talking about when they say its like you've wet yourself. i cant say i've ever had the experience of wetting myself that i remember!!Forgot to say that i put the Mk5 Polo rear wiper on, good spot!!Very nice mate, i love those wheels and plates.

LINCOLNSHIRESLUPOGTI Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 Personally I prefer the Bathursts (hint at a baby S3) but thats personal preference so who cares!The interior is the best spec ever with climate and leather (proper luxuary in the small car sector this is).Also the car looks in mint condition which is always nice to see.

Rob GTI Posted November 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 I've had the Lupo for a year now and I've done a few things to it, none of which are very original or revolutionary but here it is.The car when i got it:It was standard but with a good spec.-Silver 51 plate with 28,000 miles-6 speed-Heated leather seats-electric sunroof-climate control -BBS split rims-6 disc in dash changer (now for sale)What I've done:-Mk5 Polo rear wiper-Coin tray thing (replaced a cup holder)-Sunglasses holder (from a new beetle)-GTi sill plates-Dension Ice lick with cradle (thanks Andy W for the help)-MCD Sat nav (thanks bossjohnc for the help on that one!!)-Refurbished alloys (careless previous owner, not me!)-4 new Toyo Proxes-German plates (now removed)And here are the pics:A couple of old ones, with German plates and standard hear unit, border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="IPB Image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="IPB Image" />And the new ones, border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="IPB Image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="IPB Image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="IPB Image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="IPB Image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="IPB Image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="IPB Image" />Sorry for the non-artistic photography!Just like to say a big thanks to John and Andy for their help!CheersRob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob GTI Posted November 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 Thanks for the comments everyone!! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> One question though, why did you remove the plates and mounting plates? trouble with the law? I had the plates on for a good few months and never had any problems with the police, however, when i was in Germany the Nurburgring officials weren't so impressed and i had to change them over or they wouldn't let me go out on the ring. In my hast i bent the front one because it was stuck on rather than using a mounting plate!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
