Right well I took the plunge and bought a gti once I sold my fiesta st and wow the drive home convinced me I hadn't made a mistake :)

I bought the car off n!ck! Off here (great lad) with the following spec;

2002 lupo gti

Flash red

74000

Sunroof

Standard bar double din cd player, front uprated components.

Won't be staying standard for long, ordered coilovers already :)

Plans:

Weitec coils DONE

Some wheels (thinking d90's or teledials or if a set come up at the right money comp th monos)

Stubby drivers side mirror

Cat back, unsure which one but love the bastuck noise.

BMC CDA

Stubby polo gti aerial DONE

Black VW badges

De-Wiper DONE

De-badge (lupo and GTi) DONE

Upgrade numberplae lights DONE

Upgrade sidelights to LED and headlights to 6000k PURCHASED

Fit my private plate using pressed plates

But before anymore mods after the coilies I want to give her a full service, cambelt, water pump and aux belts for piece of mind.

Start off with a picture of my fiesta:

Another small update: Ordered some LED sidelight bulbs (built in resistor), 6000k HID bulbs and also some Number plate bulbs to match.

Now on to the task of saving for the stuff for the full service.....parts alone come to £140 that does include;

Timing belt kit

Waterpump

Drive belt

Oil (5w-40 fully)

NGK sparkplugs

Air filter (unsure whether to go panel filter or BMC instead of replacing like for like)

Oil filter

Fuel filter

Any other bits whilst im at it ????

Gave Lucy a clean this morning and did a few little bits, de-wipered and de-lupo'd and gti'd front and rear looks much cleaner, all the little bits count :)

ooooooo. I like every car in this! You and your family have good taste in cars :thumbup:

Were you on Fiestastoc? I had an ST too. How do you find the GTI compares to the fiesta?

Ive lusted after a lupo GTI for ages now, i actually saw a red one for sale with 9000 miles just outside london, about a year ago. I was soo close to selling my ST at the time for it, rang up about it, but unfortunatly it had just been sold.

I wish i wish, i had a red gti :shifty:

Good luck with it, its a gorgeous looking car, health to drive!

Tbh mate I prefer the gti to the fiesa and it was the best thing I've done lol yes my cousin has some nice vehicles lol the RR sport at side of the gti has a fair bit done to it too it's the tdv6 one pulls like a train and the dodge ram at the top of the ramp sounds a right monster but being a 5.2 petrol is thirsty and yes I should have one somewhere I'll have a look now........
