jacko1066 Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 Here is my lupo Gti... I bought the car damage repairble about 2 years ago and didnt replace the front end with the gti front end as i didnt fancy paying £1100 at the time for the headlights , plus i already had the arches that i was going to fit to my 1.4 i had before , so i decided to use them onto my gti and it turned out like it has now , I suppose you can say its a gti with a difference ?i took the car off the road SIXTEEN months ago for the engine conversion , problems occured which i wont go into detail but 16 months on its on the road apart from a mapping sessionHere is a spec of what i have done to itBodyworkDietrich Front Bumper , with grille smoothed inRieger wide arch kitMk5 golf style bootFull repaint in Candy WhiteBlack painted roofVW badge painted black and whiteSmoked headlightsFk Black Rear lightsGloss black badgeless grilleWheels16" Kerscher Karmona painted black centres and white lip 7.5 front and 9 rear195/40/16 Front 215/35/16 Rear TyresChasissFk Highsport CoiloversPowerflex polybush kitStrut brace (on order)Engine1.8 Turbo from golf AGUGT2871 TurboTial 38mm External wastegate with screamer pipe440cc InjectorsCustom Tubular manifoldFull 2.5 inch exhaust systemCustom DriveshaftsVibratech engine mounts3" maf with a K&N Gen 2 FilterStage 3 clutchHKS BOV recirc valveCustom Front mount intercoolerPossibly a few other bits i have forgotInteriorStandard Gti trim soon to be retrimmedDefi boost and oil pressure gauges with defi linkKenwood double din headunitthere a few other bits i have probably forgot but hear are some pics , all positive and negative comments welcomeWill add a couple more of the engine when i get my data cable backCheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks great, it only seems two minutes back since we spoke about it.Didn't expect it to look that finished!Nice work, looks great.Cheers tigz and RichIt has come along very quickly to say how much of a stand still it was at some points in time massive help from markpassrat and his mate steve on the wiring helped a very lot to get it where it is today , Really happy with it at the moment apart from struggling to get hold of a pair of gear linkage cables to get it back on the roadCheers for the compliments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfbr Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 I'm not much of a bodywork man myself, but that is a funky wee thing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 I like the line in the rear bumper. It adds a certain something. The GTi arse can look too smooth IMO.Funky car though, lovely to see something different. Love the pipework too.Well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
`Shack Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 thats absolutely stunning.Good Job bet you have some fun with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyA Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 Fair play, but its not for me.you seem to have lost all the GTIs identity at the front, not a good thing imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dxg Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 I love everything about that (apart from the rear lights). Nice to see some originality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edders Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 oh my ****!!!that is amazing not to sure on the wheels with the white linner but i realy do like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamD Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 I don't like the rear lights, but who gives a toss when you have a 300+bhp 20vt lump in the front! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 I think the lights suits the look of the car.Its a propper, moddifed GTI.Not the BBS rims, and hidden detailing.I think its very cool, looking forward to seeing it.You bringing it to Edition 38?Would be great if you could put it on the stand.And GTI Festival at Santa Pod in July.
