the-lowpo Posted January 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 How do I delete posts / photos ? And we'll I spent the last year and a half playing about with a much loved identical (pretty much) 1L black lupo , it was a 54 reg tho (this one being a x reg 99 ) short story someone went into me on a bridge and it was written off , so for a nice bit of diversity I purchased this with the intentions of recreating /bettering my previous loveable lupo .

the-lowpo Posted January 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 This is sort of what I have in mind only reason for bonnet bra was no money to fill that half moon recess in the bonnet, (left from debadged grill) and spray after . It's on cheap as you like Jom coil overs , had a single 3inch sportex back box , pushed plates and I had I 3 spoke dished rally wheel Along with other little bits here and there . I'd spent so much time detailing it , cleaning it, doing this and that , It was something I was was really happy with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the-lowpo Posted January 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 Oh we'll I'm going for some koni fixed spring and damper 60 front 50 back because for me that seems perfect and I'm contemplating poly bushes for another 10 mm drop .I do quite a lot of Miles on back roads so from what iv herd this seems the better option I'm going to put most of the old (but still fairly new) stuff back on . I just wanted to document it better this time and I'm always referring to club lupo for advice and "how to's" and I find myself reading the conversations then wanting to say my bit so iv made an account And here is the new project I'd of taken one of the front but the battery had died so I couldn't reverse it to get the angle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the-lowpo Posted January 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 im 18 on friday and the lovely people have chipped in and bought me some ap spring and damper kits with what i assume to bee the correct poly top mounts there from psi tuning , they say mk4 golf lupo up leon tt all use same top mounts which i found surprising i also got some poly rear bushes as well, as the last set of coilies were a little squeaky . there 60 front 50 back with an extra 10mm drop from bushes . i also ordered a debadged grill for the loop which is the same as the old one . also this week i picked up all the bits off tthe old one (back box, air filter , wheels, head unit (thats in),3 spoke wheel and various little bits like new coil-packs and leads off the old one, which had only done a few k miles . the bonnet when we got it was dented and creased to **** so iv got a mate who can draw amazingly well to do some crazy mad art onit which might look quite good when its been done , if it ends up looking shite il stripp it and let it go rusty whilst i find a new one to invest in ,, wish i had mooneys for a gti alloy one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the-lowpo Posted January 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 (edited) Shbang speakers have gone in , nice and cheap fli (halfords) 6inch. But there pretty sound for my system , better than stock. Iv debadged the lupo on the back and sprayed the badge , need to improve on my work there ....also the rally wheel has been fitted without a hitch , this was strange because on the 54 plate lupo I previously owned the boss kit simply wouldn't fit onto the steering input shaft properly, meaning I couldn't properly fasten up the flanged bolt that holds the boss to the splined shaft , i had to make a bit of a bodge nut in the end , but it didn't rattle so all was well.And yeah man the 24th , happy birthday for tomorrow mate , bits for the car I hope ?
