rozzaa146 Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 I have got my first lupo and i am looking about mods and because this will be my first car i will modify, i am unsure of what to get for it. It came with a cone air filter and coilovers. I will be getting new alloys for it but im a bit stuck as i do not know what else could be done.

mattarosa Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 Most people do mk4 or variants like the original s3 seats, you just need a date with a grinder as the runners catch the carpet. But a set of mk4 golf recaros seems to the popular choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found some cheap but good civic type r seats just because i love the shape but realised they didnt really suit a lupo if i want seats like that reckon i'll have to travel a bit as they seem non-existant near me Edited June 6, 2014 by rozzaa146 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarosa Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 Search flea bay, gumtree and the like. the alternative is take the bases off your lupo seats and off the civic seats and get creative so the civic seats fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacquenc15 Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 Buy some wind deflectors really easy to fit they're cheap and look good. Also if you have side strips on your car doors they look naf I took mine off and looks nicer. Maybe some rear light covers, spoiler and a good t-cut and polish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAN@ADRIAN FLUX Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 Does anybody know the earliest you can get mods on your insurance ??You can insure a modified car from day one, although you will find it cheaper if you wait until you've earned some No Claims Bonus first, then modify it.ThanksDan.

Kam Racing Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 I stuck a set of GTi seats into my Arosa when I converted the GTi to have buckets.. The GTi seats make a real improvement to how the car feels in my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kam Racing Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 (edited) well the GTi seats have more prominent side bolsters and are a bit firmer. makes the ride feel less wallowy.. I later also changed the tyres to lower profile ones with a stiffer sidewall which improved it even further.. It's still on the standard springs as is just a hack but is great to drive and can chuck it about a bit..

I currently have 13" steel wheels but will be buying 14" alloys and wil have a lower profile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
