Finally the update as havent put up any progress since last summer and there has been alot of it !

So after Volksfest I "ummed and arred" about selling the Loop but after one attempt of selling it , it never made enough and I decided to keep her.

Heres whats happened since !!

The Borbets stayed on for a while and I debated putting them on lower profile tyres and lowering it but in the end decided to start looking for new wheels..

At inters I picked up a set of GTI clocks cheap so they were fitted...

Then I started on the interior. Had to be black leather. Picked up a set of MK4 Golf sports seats which I have been told are hard to find. The backs were then sold and I had my current rears retrimmed to match..

Whilst waiting for them to be retrimmed I went on the hunt for more interior parts and found a black mirror , sadly I ended up cracking the screen fitting it and a new one had to be fitted

Straight after Edition my mate was selling his BBS reps so I snatched them up , but it definitely needed some more lows !

Little purchase at Edition..

Also bought some roofbars at Inters and a bike rack at Edition so fitted it all along with the wheels...

Spent a sunday polishing and waxing her and these were the results,,

Nice little touch, got hold of some carpet and covered the rear of my back seats and my multichanger..

Looking around on the net I saw a few Lupos with TT kneebars and thought it was something I quite liked and would purchase a set..

Over the xmas break I bought some MDF and started to make my bootbuild. Plan is just a simple and clean , covered in carpet of leatherette to match the rest. Probably go with two ten inch subs and an amp and then some kind of feature in the middle..

Bought my old Lupo back ! Sadly my mate who I sold it to snapped the camshaft so I bought if off him for scrap value , broke it and this was the sad end for her :( RIP Lupo of love :(

Real happy with where she is right now..

Next plans are ;

Headlining

Pillar trims

New wheels ( Trying to find A8 winters )

Double din

Planning at the end of show season to take her off the road and put an Audi 5v in it , which is basically a 1.8t. Been wanting to do this for a while so saving up at the moment ! :thumbup:

Also planning to have some paintwork done. Going to Ultimate Dubs in a month and was hoping this month to have it all done but due to finances it wont be done for a while now :( Bit gutted as she wont look her best but on the other hand she is a daily !

Smooth bumper I have had sat around for a while will be painted just after UD but the rest will have to wait..

Plan to keep this thread going now and update regualary ! :yes:

How much did it cost you to get the rears trimmed? Have my eyes on some leather A3 seats, but the back not matching would annoy me!
Back seats cost 300 to retrim :)
Great work dude. Good to see you making decent progress!Joe
Cheers mate ! Loads more to come !
