vwbandit Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 Right i have no idea why i havent started one of these already anywaypicked up my lupo gti from the other side of kent ...... was a trek...but after talking on the phone to the lady first . i found out it only had 2 owners from new her being the second and had full vw service history and because i asked about the water pump and cambelt and found out they hadnt ever been changed in the 74,000 miles . so the kind lady took it to vw and had them both done with a full service costing her 800 pounds . but didnt charge me a penny more then the asking price so after the test drive checking it worked properly i drove it home and gave it a well deserved washher she ismore to come when my camera download the pictures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vwbandit Posted August 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 (edited) so a couple of things done firstly finished my wheels and got them on my car went with the matt purple to go with the car then realised that it sat too high so rear adjusters out and front wound down so ive closed the arch gap up looks so much better nowand got a couple of cheeky stickers for the back window thats all for now but more things to come Edited August 9, 2012 by vwbandit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koop Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Purple P's nice! Don't think I've seen a GTI on P sluts. Some VW centre caps would finish them off nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
