mccrindle Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 (edited) Hi all, owned my lupo for just over 10 months and thought it was about time I started a thread of my ride. Back in February I collected the car for £2500 with 40k on the clock,fsh, one owner on 53 plate. It's a 1.0 , but this should change within the next year or so!Progress so far:First off was the most important job, to replace the cambelt and water pump as there was no record of it being done and the car had just ticked over the 42k mark. So one afternoon me and a friend got the car in to his garage and fitted the cambelt etc.JOM coilovers plenty left on fronts but pretty lowAudi 80 trimsG60'sPerforated leather headliner,parcel shelf,c pillar, boot linerGti black sun visors, grab handles, rear view mirrorAlcantara/leather mk2 Audi tt seats front and rearsSony xplod ipod/aux/bluetooth and handsfree stereo.

JordanVW Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 i love your seats ...how easy did they go in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mccrindle Posted December 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 cheers pal! Well worth the money as they hug you when you sit in them As of yet they aren't fitted, thats happening next saturday but it's a case of cutting and welding the lupo bases onto the tt seats so they can go in the runners.Jacob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mccrindle Posted January 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 Will take some photos of car tomorrow as I was feeling fragile today and weather not too nice either. Front seats are getting fitted Saturday and will then be playing about to get the backs to fit. If all goes well with M.O.T in a few weeks i plan to have the following things completed by either early edition or stonor:Door cards trimmed Sport lower valance &fogsG60's onAnd a full resprayJacob (: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mccrindle Posted January 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 So it is lol, thought it was right that way, will change that after work lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mccrindle Posted January 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 Couple of little updates.Gear gaiter is now correctly fitted in regards to stitching.Just received black gti rear view mirrorAnd tt fronts are being done tomorrow, so hopefully can then crack on getting the rear bench to fit. (will get pics tomorrow when in)Plan over next month or so is just to have fingers crossed for MOT, get door cards re-trimmed to match rest of interior and then get coilies on Jacob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mccrindle Posted January 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Had a bit of trouble fitting tr fronts today but should all be sorted in next few days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamielupo Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 Im looking in to get a mk2 tt interier in the next couple of month have u had a problems getting the rears to fot or are the as simple a fit as the mk1 tt rears Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mccrindle Posted January 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 I haven't attempted back as of yet, im awaiting some info on how to install rears, fronts on mk2 arent as straight forward as it seemed either, having some brackets made up as we speak for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamielupo Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 Ok great i dont think mk1 tt rears are to hard but never had a good look at a set of mk2 seats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mccrindle Posted January 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 (edited) Thought i'd just pop some pics of what's been previously done. This is the head unit I have, a Sony x Plod bluetooth unit.Also swapped the rear view mirror over to match rest of interior.

mccrindle Posted January 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 Updates will be on hold for a few weeks as the money I had to one side now has to be used to get new mirrors as someone has booted them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mccrindle Posted February 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 Replacement mirrors will be here by the end of next week just in time for M.O.T Then its time to wind her down.

rapidebrothers Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 Loving the work on this so far! Those seats are amazing, they sure look comfy has hell!Was they expensive mate? They look to be in very good condition! Should look great once you get the rears fitted too!Keep it up! Cheers Gavin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mccrindle Posted February 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 They were a good price for what I got. I paid £500. There's slight wear to the bolster on the lower section of drivers seat. Apart from that they are immaculate. Thanks for the compliment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
