sharpercarper Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 Is a central exhast possible on a lupo 1.0? i understand i'd need new bumper ect.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koop Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 Possible in theory but a lot of work & you'd probably have to lose the spare wheel - Sports have a space saver & GTIs just a can of goo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharpercarper Posted November 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 I would only want it for the looks, not preformance issues? is it still alot of work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V3 1UPO Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 To do it properly you would have to get gti rear quarter panels cut yours off and weld on. Then either reduce the depth of the wheel well and get that all welded up. Right chew on I'd imagine! I think the sport bumper is a straight fit mind,other than the wheel well problem that is. I'm not 100% on the sport bumper so dont quote me on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete91 Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 I've got the rieger back bumper on my 1.0 with a centre exhaust. I just took it to an exhaust specialist and they fitted one on and replaced the back box without having to make any adjustments to the wheel well or anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treblet Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 To make the centre exhaust fit a GTI or Sport bumper you'll need to alter the spare wheel well as the cut out sits much higher on the OE bumpers than on the Reiger kit.

Koop Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 Sport bumper is a straight fit (mine used to have one for no particular reason which is now for sale :plug:) & as peterfearn has indicated if you get a custom exhaust built you can probably squeeze it in. The OEM lupo centre exhausts are out though if you don't wanna cut up the wheel well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
