Fatttty's Lupo GTi | Sold and gone to it's new home.. new car hunt begins :)

[fatttty]

Finally got round to starting my readers ride thread.

Heres my car; its a 2001 Lupo GTI with full OEM leather, Air Con, Side Airbags and 6 speed box. So far it has the following modifications; KW Variant 2 coilovers, Bastuck Full System Exhaust and BMC Carbon enclosed induction kit. It was originally owned by db (luke) who kept it immaculate.. hopefully i can do the same.

Ive owned the car for a little over 5 months now and made a few changes since i got it.

I started by getting the wheels refurbished as they were the only thing letting the car down, I opted for a slight change and had them done in Anthracite.. here are the results-

Then I got hold of some red piping for under the grill from vworks the cheapest and possibly best thing Ive done to the car!

The original interior door grab handles were starting to flake (not sure if anyone elses have does this) but a quick trip to VW and £22 later I had a pair of new ones, hey tidy the interior up no end

Next came the stereo.. I fitted three before finally settling on this.. Pioneer P4000DVD double din touch screen unit-

Picked these up about two weeks after buying the car, but had them sitting in my shed for two months before finally fitting, they are Steffan BCW 14" x 9" running Toyo 195 45 14R seriously WIDE! heres the car as it stands so far-
