One life. Live it! Posted July 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 Loving the new bits Stu Rob Gti said your rear seats are amazing Cant wait to see it RyanCheers Ryan! I can't wait to show it to you!! I'l feel much happier when all the little niggles have been ironed out!Tell you what I am finding though- I'm averaging 80 miles a day in it and it's bloody hard to keep it looking good! If I get mine even 50% of what yours like I'd be happy! Yours is looking superb! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One life. Live it! Posted July 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 (edited) Bought these a while back to fit either side of the centre console...Another eBay bargain! Audi TT knee rests . It fits in with the theme but I will have to see how it looks with everything else- less is more and all that!I know it's been done before but I like the look of it , just have to see if it fits the bill!

99hjhm Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 Oh you can modify a TT foot rest to fit too, did it on mine, matches the Lupo GTI pedals perfect. Knee bars are good, not sure how they look in a std themed Lupo like mine, always think about binning them, but as knee rests they work quite well on long journeys.

I could have done a better job with the cutting, top should have been flush. But with the console in it looks quite good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right -loads more comfy in the van! We did venture further north for some shows last year but keeping the mileage down this year so that's a no to Leeds. We are doing a local show this coming weekend, just for the Sunday. Quite a chilled one- dubs at the castle @ caldicot. Not too sure on the watercooled shows at present. Got to get my Lupo up to scratch then I can plan which shows to do! Catch you soon Dubsy! ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One life. Live it! Posted July 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 Thought I'd better let you know the latest on my loop. It's now gone back in the workshop mainly to further improve the sound setup but also some cosmetic work ready for a show called ICE-T18 which is in oxford next Saturday. The show is a chilled one dayer that showcases some of the uk's (and Europes) best car sound systems- can't wait!The Lupo is having 1) all carbon replaced as there were little faults throughout 2) rear seat panel trimmed and tidied3) new front door panels with built in crossover with stealth panels 4) new rear panels and trim5) adjusted mid speakers6) new tweeter builds 7) new sound processor setup sessionREALLY looking forward not only to the cosmetic improvements but the improvement in the sound setup! Bring it on!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One life. Live it! Posted July 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 Latest update..The Lupo has already had some sound improvements from initial adjustments -cleaner,crisper bass and improved midrange. The crossovers have been connected up to test sounds and frequencies for each. New lower door panels should be at the workshop tomorrow and then the new ones can be fabricated out of those with the crossovers built in and new carbon (set slightly differently) and leather surround.Unbelievebly there were some rattles found so MORE sound deadening is being added!!The distribution unit which sits against the back seat panel has been checked and some of the soldered connections have been redone. There was a loose connection found which I'm praying is the main cause for the electrical issues. Steering wheel was playing up too but that's been sorted there was a broken wire that was causing the head unit not to actuate but that's fixed.more updates very soon!
