My new car - Lupo gti content

[Stefan.]

Good updates mate! I love these!

Cheers Danny!

I am contemplating buying a set of mint Compomotive TH Mono's in silver..What's people's thoughts? Or stick with the oe wheels

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Ooh i think that would look pretty good..!

Has anyone else done it?

A few but most go for BBS models for obvious reasons, i think i will as the bathurst's could do with a refurb..

 

[DaveDreads]

Nice little car.

I was just about to say it needs lowering and some decent wheels,
but I see you're sorting both of those, I prefer the Comp's over the oem's.

 

[StevenMc29]

Love these wee cars. I went for a T Sport Yaris instead when I was in the market for something like this because of the stupid premium they held. This still the case?

Cheers dave!

Yeah tell me about it, it's comical at the moment! But all will be sorted.

Is it going to be at CSS this year?
Wouldn't mind having a closer look, I miss having a VAG car.

Erm tbh mate, i haven't even thought about it, never been to CSS either

 

[DaveDreads]

Might win best non Clio.

Plus at one point I didn't know anyone on here either,
I went to CSS 12 & 13, got pissed, threw up and now I know sh*t loads of people.

Yes do it

 

[Lal B3N]

Them comps look awesome. Quite a few people had them years ago on the lupos and they always looked epic! Do it!

 

[cf9788]

had them on my Mk1 gti really nice and light too do it!

 

[cafcross]

I ran Comps on my Lupo GTi. 8s all round though, so they came out a bit too much at the front and looked too tucked at the rear. Put a set of spacers on the rear and it looked better, but I had the arches rolled as it was lowered about 110mm.

 

[Stefan.]

Cheers guys.

Well it doesn't look promising at the guy is being abit of a douche with regards to replying, and has taken them off of ebay so i can only presume he has sold them.

And i can't buy new as apparently compomotive are in administration...:dapprove:

Mini Update

So spent this morning putting on my new 'clean' plates. Never was a fan of the drilled holes and holders they were in.

Think the back could come down abit, but have only just stuck them on

Car goes in tomorrow to Rentech portsmouth!

cheers stef

 

[Stefan.]

UPDATE

So in the week i was browsing ebay, and came across a mk6 golf gti gearknob and gaiter virtually brand new!! for a good price. So snapped it up and awaited for it to be delivered.

It arrived yesterday, so today cracked on with fitting it, had to swap the gaiters over for my lupo one, was abit tricky but got there in the end!

I have bought a new gaiter, which will arrive in the week, but for now i am happy with it and i now know i can swap it over quickly enough.

Since i cleaned my seats, i stupidly forgot about the steering wheel So got to work on cleaning that too.

And how it looks now.

I want to do the handbrake too so on the look out for that next.

cheers guys stef

 

[bennettxo]

Thought of fitting a mk6 steering wheel? Seen a guys on Instagram looks pretty sweet!

 

[Kitson93]

That mk6 steering wheel would look mint!

 

[Nickw88]

I've got that steering wheel in my golf (with the addition of the steering controls) and it's a really quality feel and the perfect shape/size.

You should do it, it would look great

 

[Stefan.]

Just seen this, cheers for the reply's guys! :approve:

I have thought about that steering wheel, but looking at KW coilies first. Trying to recoup some money in the bank too :dapprove:

I have put the new gear gaitor on along with a new chrome light switch from the newer models! All about the small touches!

 

[Gorms]

You selling up??

 

[Stefan.]

You selling up??

It is atm, would like a mk4 golf r32...but i love the lupo's character, rarity, it's cheap to run and looks

Got a guy coming to look this saturday but there is so many time wasters, i won't hold my breath

 

[Stefan.]

UPDATE

Seeing as the sun was out today and the girlfriend went out with her mates shopping i thought what better than to clean the car. It was bad, and like always i forgot to take pictures of it before

A few afters anyway..

Took a quick break, as the ice cream van come along, ready to fit the check straps on both doors after.

With the ice cream devoured, i set to work on replacing the check straps, pretty straight forward. only took the one picture as i'm sure you get the idea

And quick picture of the new gear gaiter and chrome light switch

And my girlfriend bought me a companion for the lupo (More to do with me liking turbo rather than the car not err having one haha)

Payday on monday so going to take a trip to VW and order few interior bits that are worn/aged.

Thats all for now

cheers stef

 

[mossyv6]

Cheers bud, no its my dads. He has had since about 6 months old iirc around then anyway..

 

[Stefan.]

Lupo is now for sale

Looking at some of the lease deals at the moment, and going to look into leasing the golf R

 

[Stefan.]

LUPO HAS NOW SOLD

Got a good price for it, had a great time in my short ownership, will 100% have another at some point.

Seems weird it not being on the drive though..

 

[mjf93]

Surprised you sold this so fast! What is going to replace it sj2112

 

[.GAZ.]

I'm glad my R32 has the half leather seats! What you driving now?

 

[Stefan.]

I now have a e46 grey 330ciNew thread is on here mjf93@.GAZ.

 

[mjf93]

I shall have a look. How are you finding it?

 

[Stefan.]

Completely different to the lup as to be expected. I miss the character of the lupo and rarity!

But the Beemer is a lovely car to drive and is more grown up and obviously a lot quicker!

Glad your enjoying it! Had a look through your thread and it looks a very clean example.
Must be a huge change in character from the lupo, from the smallest hot hatch about to a mid size sports saloon in one hit.

Yeah pretty much LOL!

The beemer to be fair doesn't fell all that big to drive.

I will see how long i keep this one for lol
