patroddy Posted May 18, 2014 Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 (edited) Hey guys, so I've been pretty slow with adding this tbh but late march i sold the white 1.0 and finally manned up and got the GTI . spent a while finding the best one and ended up with a 450ish mile return trip down to Portsmouth to pick up "the right car". It was from a member on here actually (sj2112). Its a silly spec got heated leather, sunroof, mk6 gear nob & light switch, led number plate lights, all the GTI extras and a stupidly good service history!! i absolutely love the car and here a few pics Lupo GTI by PRoddy95, on FlickrLupo GTI by PRoddy95, on FlickrLupo GTI by PRoddy95, on FlickrLupo GTI by PRoddy95, on FlickrLupo GTI by PRoddy95, on FlickrLupo GTI by PRoddy95, on FlickrLupo GTI by PRoddy95, on FlickrLittle Shoot With the New GTI by PRoddy95, on FlickrLittle Shoot With the New GTI by PRoddy95, on FlickrLittle Shoot With the New GTI by PRoddy95, on FlickrLittle Shoot With the New GTI by PRoddy95, on FlickrLittle Shoot With the New GTI by PRoddy95, on FlickrLittle Shoot With the New GTI by PRoddy95, on FlickrLittle Shoot With the New GTI by PRoddy95, on FlickrLittle Shoot With the New GTI by PRoddy95, on FlickrLittle Shoot With the New GTI by PRoddy95, on FlickrLittle Shoot With the New GTI by PRoddy95, on FlickrLittle Shoot With the New GTI by PRoddy95, on FlickrLittle Shoot With the New GTI by PRoddy95, on Flickr SORRY ABOUT ALL THE PICS IVE RECENTLY GOT MY FIRST DSLR SO IM ABIT PHOTOHAPPY Anyway since having him i haven't really done much other than give him a name - Lionel - replaced the coolant temp sensor to stop a funny idle problem and then set to work doing a full paint correction. This was the first time I've ever used a machine polisher so I'm extremely happy with my results. i prepared the paint by snow foaming, washing, claying, washing again then by this time i only had time to start on the bonnet so i set to work for 2 hours and below are the results.Paint correction before and afters by PRoddy95, on FlickrPaint correction before and afters by PRoddy95, on Flickr Plans for the car are decided in a fashion the plans are "wing it and blag it until it looks good" Edited April 23, 2016 by patroddy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patroddy Posted January 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 Kinda realised i never update this thing, thats kind of because I've done close to nothing!! here it is lowered apart from that no major changes just been collecting parts to fit eventually!! currently got loads of polybushes, the wheels and some other stuff sat in my garage waiting to be fitted. I've already fitted a new heading, i went for the app radio 4, amazing head unit and looks pretty good too!!id love to say id get my arse into gear and get it done for UD but I've got alot of stuff to do on the car in the mean time to get it to "my standard" and then alot of stuff in my work and personal life too but i will try my hardest!!

patroddy Posted January 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 (edited) So I'm a little bit of a detailing product monster, I have a slight addiction to buying more and more simply so I can try them out, my car only ever stays clean for about 1 day but I enjoy the process of getting it dirty just to clean it again. My recent product obsession seems to be with the Auto Finessee brand, over the past 9 ish months I've purchased close to their full range of products, so I'm going to start writing some reviews on my epierence with them . So as a sample here is my bonnet in some illusions wax. Everyone loves abit of beading surely. Edited January 18, 2015 by patroddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLAYTONJONES Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 Illusion is an awesome wax, not the most durable but it leaves the paint looking dripping wet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patroddy Posted January 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 Those wheels, are utterly insane.Thanks!!! They are my hidden gem only 2 or 3 sets in the VW scene and I doubt anyone can actually identify what wheels they are! I've got the history of them now but they're hard wheels to research! And I think I'm the only Lupo to have them as the other sets I know of haven't got 4 x 100 adapters Illusion is an awesome wax, not the most durable but it leaves the paint looking dripping wet?Yer it does leave a great finish! However all Autofinesse waxes leave the car looking beautiful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
