madmanncfc Posted January 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Went on a brief trip to Peterborough yesterday to pick these up:Grey charcoal leather genuine vw doorcards.So much nicer than the grey cards and match the seats pretty well.

I did pay a fair bit for them, but it was cheaper than getting my ones retrimmed. Ive only ever seen the one set for sale too so decided id better grab those ones.

madmanncfc Posted January 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 Another update :-)When i fitted the new doorcards i noticed that the plastic door pins were pretty untidy so decided to upgrade to some chrome ones id been given by a mate a while back:New pins:Open:Closed:Old crappy pins:Much better :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madmanncfc Posted January 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 Id reccomend it. I was going to get beetle sport pins but they are discontinued but when i mentioned it i got those off a mate. The only issue i had was that the rings were getting caught when locking/unlocking so i removed the bottom two and now its perfect.:-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilbur14 Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 If you don't mind me asking.....How much did you paid for the tt seats? Love them and they look great ! Did they take much fitting ?And the doorcards ?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmanncfc Posted January 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 Hi buddy i dont mind you asking at all. The TT seats were £250 from ebay they are from a MK1 Audi TT. To fit the fronts i got a friend to weld two bars to the audi base. One at the front that bolts to the front lupo mount. And one at the back thats bolted to the top of the runner channels. The rear base just sits straight in and the rear seat tops needed the brackets cutting off and some new ones to be made up. I can take more pictures if needed.The doorcards were from a lupo gti and cost me £100 they fit straight in.Thanks for commenting:-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmanncfc Posted January 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 Was looking on ebay the other day and found some red ht leads from a lupo gti noone had seemed to bid on. Got them for a good price in the end and fitted them today:I wasnt sure what the effect on the engine would be given they are gti leads but all seems well so far.:-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madmanncfc Posted February 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 (edited) So today i did a bit of work to the car. Replaced my old battery that died on monday with a new one from work :-(But then got a delivery which cheered me up:Which means that i can use my starlites as winter wheels:Also got these from a breakers yard my mate works at for a steal:Lupo gti inlet manifold and polo 16v afh cable throttle. My intention is to put these on the awh engine in the car and see what gains i get now i have more airflow. Also being an early lupo i have sport injectors already. Im not bothered about BHP really i just want to see if it makes it a bit more pokey to drive. Edited February 1, 2012 by madmanncfc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
