GTi T Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 I would say if it's done properly then yeah they would be stripped apart firstAnd yes Raven Blue and the grey ones are rarer than any other colours, i think theres a few Lupo's knocking about and Arosa's on hydraulicsi have probably seen it at some point as i try and watch TOTB every year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr ColinG Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 Do the BBS' have to be stripped apart to be colour-coded? Im guessin they aint cheap to buy in the 1st place too. I quite fancy some polished porka 928 rims a mate had some on his golf and looked mint.I think the lupos look great in silver but thinking of blue or grey as they seem a bit more rare possibly? It will get lowered if its not already. Any lupos about with hydraulics? That would be fun Yeah the evos spot on, its on the Ten of the Best V dvd from 2yrs ago if youve got it? Came 8th overall. Was just before i bought it. Should be there next yr, got a few things in the pipeline for it Yes you will need to strip them for painting, just re-done mine for the third time.

Brad_Evo_Sprint Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 Yes you will need to strip them for painting, just re-done mine for the third time.Do they have tight fitting dowel bolts or location pins to ensure everything is bolted up concentric to each other?Soz for being off topic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The back was all stripped out at the time and to be honest i dont think the other guy expected what was coming. Mine is a 6 speed and when he pulled up next to me at the next lights he said his was a standard 5 speed. I dont know what difference this makes but maybe he didnt put his foot down like he would if he knew it was a GTi so im not going to say hes poor at racing but its a possibility.As for the sarcastic comment.. Is that a good enough reason for you ? Fimbarchy Durembeedet.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philplop Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Schteee: So that's who bought it! Was just wondering today where it ended up. Did you buy it from Rich or was there another owner in between?Heard that it might have been remapped too while it was in the GTI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fimbarchy Durembeedet..sorry you found my comment sarcastic-and yes your reply was a good enough reason for me but your original comment about "canning" a real gti made you sound like a bitter boy racer,theres no doubt about it with your spec it would " cane" a gti,so what!!,why do some people on here feel they are inferior if they dont have a gti?all lupos are cool whatever the spec'serhalten Sie über es Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
