micp Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 (edited) Thought I'd add one of these seems I've finally got my hands on one after owning a Clio 172 for a few years.The Lupo is definitely a better build quality throughout and is saving me on fuel / insurance already so I can't complain!Only got one snap of it at the minute due to the weather and not having much time out in it but I plan to clean it after the new year and get some proper snaps.Currently it already has a few mods and I plan to do a few more things:Currently:FK CoilioversCambridge Rears280mm brake kitFull Golf recaro interiorG60 steelsPlans:Font and back black badgesSet of GTi Bathurts (currently looking and money waiting)Whiteline Rear ARBAll suggestions / comments welcome Edited December 30, 2010 by micp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd only ever seen a silver one.When I was looking I didn't even consider the blue but I'm so glad.I'm after some standard Barthurts, gonna keep the current one's for my winter wheels.

Mr ColinG Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Nice, the best colour Got to agree with above, think the wheels detract from the car a bit, would be better with black plastic centres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micp Posted January 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Hah, just having a look at yours now, looks superb.Yeah I'm after some standard Bathurts but there isn't any about at the minute. Maybe get them refurbed in Antracite, I can't decide. I'll keep the current wheels though for the winter and the horrible salty roads because they clean up so easy!

Sarah_Diamond Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 (edited) Looks lovely! Raven is without doubt the best colour Good luck with finding the wheels, I think the Bathursts look best on the GTi's so they'd be great for the shows.I've had mine refurbed in White - not everyone's taste though lol - Anthracite will look awesome, it was one of the options I was looking at Edit: Just noticed your mats, I have the same ones and I have blue Recaro's lol, if it wasn't for the steering wheel and the reg I'd be checking outside my house to make sure my car's still there!See you at some shows Edited January 4, 2011 by Sarah_Diamond Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micp Posted January 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Haha, oh white, I never considered that! Please stop putting idea's in my head! Yeah I'll make sure I get an interior snap of yours and then mine, can't believe how good the mats are, for some reason they clean up so well compared to previous types i've owned. See you at the shows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamiea7x Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 looks pretty nice man cant say i like the steering wheel but im not really a fan of aftermarket steering wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micp Posted January 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 (edited) Cheers dude.Put this 'shop together earlier with an image I found on the net of one.What's everyone think of the standard bathurts refurbed in an antracite colour and raven blue?

rh203 Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Really like that with the raven blue... I honestly think the bathursts are the best wheel suited to a GTi. I mean I do like BBS's etc but I don't necessarily think that they look any better as such, just different!I've got a black GTi and am looking at wheels at the moment but to be honest I really don't know if I like any others enough to warrant the money so may just get them chromed and spend my life cleaning them .

micp Posted November 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 Not updated this for a while so I thought I'd finally do it seems I have a few things chaning and a few things in the pipeline for after Christmas.So I've owned the loop for a year now, in that year I've put 7k on the clock, had it serviced and MOT'd which is flew through and generally kept it clean whilst I moved home and saved a few quid.Here's the car as it stands at the minute:As you can see I've fitted dubmeister plates, add the red trim to the grill, GTI badge and the front badge has been sprayed satin black.Closer picture of the badges.Same for the rear of the car, everything looks as it did when I purchased it apart from the badge which has also been sprayed.I've recently purchased these which I plan to add to the car over the winter. However, I cannot decide whether I should leave them silver or spray them in a black / grey colour.and I've also got these to fit after I've sorted the garage out so I have a little room to move around in.Future plans:I've spoken to the guys at AAS about a custom exhaust system.I'm looking for a BMC for the car.Buy tyres and fit the barthursts (maybe get them refurbed in a colour).
