VW Lupo GTI by Tutek

Recommended Posts

I've bought the car in August 2010.

As a true Lupo fan I've decided to buy a GTI version (we allready had 2 Lupos in house 1.4 TDi (fathers) and 1.4 16V (brothers)). So now we have 3 :tongueout:

It's a 2002 Lupo GTI with 6 speed gearbox, and full equipment apart from an automatic climate control.

When I bought it it was totally stock, but after a while some updates have been made... like FK coilovers, Cambridge rear lights, Brock B2 16' wheels and some other small stuff.

This are the photos of my Loop current look.

Thanks for the comments :)

You get my seal of approval.

Whatever happened to the original wheels in the bottom pic ?

I use black BBS RS 814 in Winter, and silver Brock B2's are for Summer.

Looks awesome jus alittle more lows

In Spring it will be a little bit lower ;)

and a Lupo 3L steering wheel

I'm thinking about repainting the center part in gloss black.

What surprised me is that the 3L steering wheel is way thicker than original leather one from GTI.

New purchase

KWLupo_zps70d3daa7.jpg

Rear springs and adjusters from KW coilovers.

In the rear I've had a -60 sport springs. Now as I've got a lower tire it needs better adjustment, and Meguiars to make them look nice and clean ;)

Just bought some new wheels :P

I've been looking for them for quite a while, and thought about them before I've bought my Brocks.

They are BBS RC 321.

Rim made for Golf GTI 25th aniversary, very light and tough, made by BBS Flow Forming Process, what makes it almost as tough as a forged wheel.

Really hard to find in 16"

Not sure if I'm gonna put them on a car, but I've been looking for them for so long, that when I saw them I needed to have them :D

I took a tire from one of them to check are they really so light.

Brock B2 16" 7,5J ET 35, weighs 10kg,

BBS RC 321 16" 7,5J ET 35 weighs 7,45kg.

Two days ago I've had some difficulties with brakes.

My front right brake disc was warped.

So finally I've had a serious reason to make a swap to 280mm, that I thought about for quite a while.

Here is what I've bought
