sam bignell Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 Cant see it being any different mate I did some research on this a while ago as my GTI screen was damaged. Although it was repaired without the need of a new screen - however they did quote me for two screens that could fit a Lupo gti. I think one has a gap for the VIN number and the other hasn'tSam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simpo Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 Think there are two different screens, dont gti's have a green tint and others don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicki Posted March 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 Cheers John, you're a star. Will phone Autoglass back tomorrow & give them the part number... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d9nngti Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 i had this problem when i had the polo gti, to me they look the same but apparently have a different tint to them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you'll find that the 1.4Tdi had the 'standard' windscreen. The 3L, GTi and FSi all had the same lightweight body (thinner but stronger steel) and were only built at Wolfsburg.RAB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CasperGTI Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 (edited) Information straight off elsa/etka.I dint put the fsi on the list, as they arent in the uk at all. where we know of some imported 3l'sTo be 100% correct, it was the 3L, tdi, fsi and gti that came with that screen.John Edited March 17, 2009 by CasperGTI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicki Posted March 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 Its costing me £60 as i'm insured fully comp... will get my Mum to ask what it would've cost if I was having to pay for it.(I'm leaving the car at home for the day so Mum's gonna sort it out for me - nowhere to park at work at the mo as we've got scaffolding around the office whilst they fix the roof) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubbprince Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 i reckon elephant will think i'm takin the piss if i insure the lupo only to call to have the windscreen done lol...so i may end up paying the full price but i know a guy, who knows a guy I paid for a GTI mk5 screen on my mk4 and it set me back £120 cash. Thanks again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_273 Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 (edited) I remember Martin (lupogtiboy) having a new windscreen fitted to his GTi, and he said the glass was thinner. No doubt his thread will have the part numbers in it too... (if I could find it)EDIT: This is the thread I am thinking about http://forums.clublupo.co.uk/index.php?sho...p;hl=windscreen Edited March 17, 2009 by jon_273 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
