My new car, slow updates!

Featured Replies

Okay so today I got rid of my ol' MK2F polo, in a trade for this..

post-102492-1353012003_thumb.jpg

It's a 2001 Lupo 1.4s 75bhp, might not sound like much but for such a light car it doesn't half pull! It is lowered on FK Coliovers, its sitting nicely on a set of BMW E30 14" BBS? (Can anybody confirm this for me?) , it also has tinted front headlights and has been stickerbombed in some places.

My plans for this car is to basically tidy it up, remove all the stickers and get it looking good, it is currently covered in stickers and it is rotten as the previous owner works mad hours and didn't have to time to clean it.

The two rear arches were recently rolled and need tidying up a bit, they are currently in primer but I am going to buy some of the right paint and tidy them up.

Iv read somewhere that Audi TT seats can be fitted into these and I was just wondering if anyone knows anything about fitting them or any other interiors that can fit. The easier the better. :lol:

That's it for now, if anyone has any good ideas/plans, I would like to know as I'm not too clued up with lupos.

Cheers, Collie! :D

Looks nice bud! I've got a 1.0 and 1.4 16v bhp one as yes they are very nippy! How do you find it to the mk3? I much prefer the lupo, and yes tt fronts can fit but not straight fit, they need a little but of metal cut off the bottom but fit on the runners, unfortuanetly there isn't any seats that are a straigh swap apart from lupo and arosa seats all models

Anyway the wheels are e30s and look nice!

Which do you have sorry? The 1.4 16v 100bhp? I really love it compared to the MK3, power steering is amazing! It's a lot more comfortable and is a very firm ride, handles amazingly! Damn, I really wanted to fit something without too much work but I guess I could live with it as it is. Thought the wheels are but I'm looking at changing them? Any good ideas, not too common but nice alloys? Anyway il be giving it a good clean over tomorrow and il get some better pictures for you :)

I've got the 100hp but that's running quite a bit more than that need to get it mapped and dynod and my daily 1.0 lupo, it's not that hard bud there's guides on club lupo about the seats but be aware they are pretty twatish to new people( well the little "gang" they got going over there) also many people choose rz, alleycats, classics, rms tbh the same kinda wheels as here, if you do plan on selling them though bud give me a shout also if you need any help just drop me a pm I like to think I know a little about the lupos now.

Looks good but I would get rid of the black around the headlights and at least paint the wheels silver - Yellow and white don't do it for me.

I like the headlights :) and they are silver mate if you look in person. No doubt they do look white in the pic though! :thumbsup:

Never been a big fan of stickers to be honest, just prefer the tidy look of a car! Over the last week or so iv fell in love with it, I wake up and want to do things to it, never really felt like that with my MK2F.

As for the updates, it's nothing modification wise, just more tidying and buying a few parts its missing. Il get an interior shot soon, it's hacky black that's all so didn't want to show it off too much :lol:

Lately removed all of the stickers, think iv got rid of the bbs and soon the loop will be running on Teledials with 165 55 R15.

Really want to paint them black but might just go with the normal silver.

Also bought this off FleaBay today cause the one on mine was fooked. I think I got it at a steal of a price! :D

Payday soon. Looks like all the bodywork niggles will be tidied up, all electrics and faults fixed including windows, heaters only working on 4th setting, stereo wiring.

Looking into getting a black leather interior with yellow stitching aswell depending on price. :)

All coming together now, watch this space! :D
