northwick Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 If you could take some photos and do a how-to for the boot light and courtesy lights I'm sure everyone will appreciate it - I'd definitely do it if there was a guide (not that confident with electrics)Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99hjhm Posted August 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 I'll take and post lots of pictures.... It's basically make it up as you go along.The interior light is not that hard, just time consuming.I don't know if my GTI is the same as other Lupo's... I have basically messed up the passenger side lower door card, you would never notice, but it's not right.Running out of little mods!

99hjhm Posted August 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 (edited) Going to have a look at the drivers side courtsey light today... Real fiddle cutting the panel in the right place as space inside the doors is very tight.Had to change both number plate light bulbs, so the LED ones I bought for the courtseys have gone in there. Needs some new holders though. Edited September 6, 2009 by 99hjhm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

99hjhm Posted August 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 Fitted the Golf Mk5 (R32) gearknob.Need to use the Lupo gaiter, but its a direct fit.... Very tricky though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoopyLing Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 I know the Mk5 steering wheel is nice, but i think the centre really doesnt match the Lupo's interior. I'd love to see a flat bottomed Audi S-line wheel in a Lupo. You'd have an Audi airbag but i reckon the the 3L airbag would fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
