I purchased my 1.4s black Lupo on the 13th August, since then i haven't done a great deal.. new battery, a service (air filter, spark plugs, oil change, oil filter) using bosch or genuine vw parts bought from GSF in derby, i have a oil filter just not come around to doing it yet, installed a custom parcel shelf my dad made for 2 6x9's and also 8" sub and amp..

My names kyle, I'm 20 and working as a trainee electrician...

Heres a few photos i have from the date of purchase..

been looking at forums on here a lot for ideas etc, looking for a subtle modification (coil overs, alloys, de-badge etc)

any feedback would be greatly appreciated thanks :thumbup:

Today whilst my dad was fitting some Eibach springs to his Golf, i thought i would go ahead and remove my rear wiper... i used a post in the how to section, http://forums.clublupo.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=43009

They didn't have any 25mm blank grommets in halfords so i had to use a 24mm one. Also the post says you need a 14mm spanner, for some reason mine was 13mm?! It was a nice cheap easy job tbh.

Apart from snapping off a bit of plastic it went ok... bol.

It definately would have had a new lock in the past. It really depends how much you want it done; I know for a fact it will not be cheap so it really may be worth putting up with unfortunately

just be nice to get the car straight before i start doing mods to it.. but looks like it will have to stay that way :thumbdown: as a rough guess, how much 100ish?

Where abouts in Nottingham you based mate?

Hopefully see you at some local meets in the future :thumbsup:

yeah i would like to go to some meets in the future :thumbsup: and ng10 haha you?

I have finally come around to fitted the JOM blueline coil overs to my car. I have sat the front with still quite a bit of thread to go, whilst the back is as low as it will go without taking out the adjusters. Which i am a bit weary about taking out tbh. My dad seems to think to bring the front up to match the back whereas im the opposite, lol.
