caryleighton Posted May 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 Right, have managed to fit my GTI headlining over the weekend! Makes such a difference to the interior Had to modify my Passat W8 light to match the black first (and of course more cutting!)Pretty pleased with the outcome:That's all for now, just have to fit the black rear view mirror. Any tips on removing and reinstalling them without cracking the windscreen?Cary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmanncfc Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 Looking really nice and OEMAs for the mirror i used a strap wrench like:http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MULTI-PURPOSE-WRENCH-STRAP-JAR-BOTTLE-OPENER-AID-/300606786564?pt=UK_Hand_Tools_Equipment&hash=item45fd8f8c04You can probably get one at a DIY place.Just tighten the strap and twist the base. The fact that its a wrench stops you from putting too much pressure on the screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madmanncfc Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 Yeah the important thing is not to pull or push as thats what brakes screens.Reattatching is the same process backwards just try not to apply too much pressure when you slot the mirror base on.

caryleighton Posted May 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 Really nice.... I like that...Only a curiosity...What is this? There isn't in the normal Lupo....It's an interior alarm sensor that's standard on the gti. It doesn't do anything in my sport because it doesnt have an alarm, but it fills the gap that would otherwise be left there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caryleighton Posted May 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 Nobody really fits in the back of a lupo so I don't think there would be much point in a small light in the back anyway haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caryleighton Posted July 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 Haven't updated this thread for a while, but today finally got around to painting my calipers! It's an extremely time consuming process, but makes a nice subtle change to the car. Decided to paint them whilst on the car, as I didn't have time to dismantle the system, so just used a fine paint brush to make sure I didn't paint the pads or discs.I had to get rid the corroded look!Halfway through the rear calipers, takes quite a few coats to get a decent colourFronts fully painted!Basking in the short-lived sunA couple of shots with the wheels back on, the calipers now stand out instead of being lost behind the wheels.That's all for now guys, i'm pretty happy with the car as it is. Am just going to focus on keeping it mega clean, might invest in a rotary polisher before ED38, will see how it goes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
