David's Lupo GTi

Featured Replies

Alrighty,

This is my second Lupo. Previously owned a Lupo 1.0 E before owning the Polo 1.0 E and now currently own a GTI :D

Pictures of the Polo if interested: Polo!

I'm well happy I got it. I'm a student so unless I manage to get a part time job progress will be slow.

Anyway, this is gonna be the build thread for my car. I have a good plans for it such as;

Coilovers

De-tango the rear lights

Possibly mud flaps? Undecided - apparently the bring up stones and ****?

Wheels - Only if I get a job. Most likely Rota Zeros, BBS or Schmidt TH Lines.

BMC CDA.

+more!

But before any that happens the bad bits are getting seen to first.

Here are a few snaps:

First mod: Raised exhaust.

Put a bolt through the flat plate straight up into the flooring of the boot. The flat plate is just before the pipes. Makes a big difference and should have came factory raised up.

Cheeky picture:

I picked this one up pretty cheap. Isn't in pristine condition and it does have a few issues, nothing major though.

Really lol?
