jon_273 Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 (edited) Spotted the car on autotrader a couple of weeks ago, it was the right car in the wrong place, so went on a 360 mile round trip to have a look at it!My good friend chris gave me a lift down 2 days later to go and collect it: border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" />Got back home and introduced it to the clan: border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" />Luckily the previous owner had come across club lupo, and had already fitted cambridge lights!Also the seat backs have been carpeted with 2 large carpet tiles, doesn't look too bad actually, suppose it's a cheap way to carpet the seat backs <IMG SRC="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif"> style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />.Not gone far in it really as I've been using the black SE till it sold, but I'm quite happy with it, but a remap is definitely in order for the future though <IMG SRC="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif"> style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />Opinions welcome!Jon Edited October 11, 2008 by jon_273 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jon_273 Posted August 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 Thanks, guys, it's pretty much the spec I would have chosen if I had been buying a lupo new (although laser blue is my personal favourite, but you can't have everything style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" /> ).The gti seats are sooo comfy and supportive, I love them. And I can get some red seatbelts now style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shades:" border="0" alt="shades.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
