Thooooom Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Sold my lupo about 2 months ago, doing about 300 - 350 miles a week i needed something more efficient. went for a 6n2 polo TDI because of the great fuel figures they return and also cheap tax Had this car about 5 or 6 weeks, but i seem to have a lot of money around at the minute so progress has been quick!Havent got many photos of the car how i bought it as it looked pretty crap.and one next to my friends GTIOrdered coilovers within a week of owning itthen ordered wheels about 2 weeks ago.Bullet Wheels 15 x 7 and 15 x 8 et 20 all round pretty perfect fit for the polo!Tyres are nankang ns2's all round, 165/50 fronts and 185/45 rearsa trial fit photo...tyres went on a few days ago and now theyre on properly.Future plans are:NOTCH (drive shafts already rubbing lots hence stupidly high front end) hopefully in the next 2 weeks.GTI splitter (ordered from VW earlier today)GTI Spoiler possible wheel colour change - i like black but its a bit common on these wheels as its the only colour you can buy them in.cleaning up the headlights (mouldy lenses)install audio from the lupomomo 280/300new o/s front wing due to a fair bit of rustlower all roundstay tuned!

Thooooom Posted February 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 (edited) sounds like a good price to me whats the millage?i'd swap my lupo for one anyday..like 65mpg ?and they can be mapped to 100bhp can't theymileage was pretty much dead on 100,000. diesel though so will go forever hopefully. average mpg is about 60/65, on motorways they can see 75 too apparently...sadly mine isnt doing those kind of figures at the minute like like like !!!!cheers manLooking good.I've had a 6n2 before and they're quite amusing, TDI is better than a GTI though. thanks man, i like that it carrys elements of the lupo but it just looks a bit more grown up. haha. yeah i love driving it, cruises so nicely on the motorway.UPDATE: went to VW today andd picked up a new CV boot (mines split), service parts and a GTI front splitter. Just need that notch now. Also spent last night cleaning up my headlights as they were mouldy and misted. Wet sanded them with 800, 1200, 1500, and 2000 grit before mopping them with a machine polisher and theyve come out like new! no photos though because im an idiot and didnt take any.

Thooooom Posted March 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 update:GTI splitterNotchedLoads of messing with the arches and what notfinally got it sitting way way way better.ive actually wound it down since UD so its a bit lower at the front now. splitter is probably 2 inches from the floor, maybe a bit less. arches are catching though so cant get it any lower. considering 165/45 tyres for the front instead for a bit more room when turning. well happy overall though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
