Very sexy .
Is it hard to fit or did they do it .
Kind Regards
I did fit it yes with a mate, being on a ramp made it much easier. Its a case of exhaust off, heat shields off then four bolts for the shifter and it’s out. Two new holes need to be drilled to mount the new shifter but it’s all pretty straight forward. Aligning the gears takes the most time but it’s not too difficult!Is it hard to fit or did they do it .

Not a 5 min job then .
Looks so good tho and bet it will be great on track / road .

Fitted some Toyo R888R's to the OZ Superleggera's ready for the next Ring trip in July, tried them out over the sunny weekend and i can report back that they are mega grippy but very very noisy! Oh and some brand new OZ centre caps.
Also fitted a BG Racing 40mm Steering wheel spacer as i felt like the wheel needed to be tad closer to me to make the driving position perfect. Steering wheel is off to Jack at Royal Steering Wheels for a fresh re-trim in Alcantara as the Suede had failed miserably.

Me and a friend in his completely standard GTI engine wise went out today, first time i’ve had the chance to put mine next to a standard one to see if all the money i’ve spent tuning it is really worth it. Turns out it definitely is! Video below

Nicely modified lupo this. Just enough to give it enough menace without looking like it's been crashed into halfords.
Out of interest where did you get the centre caps from?
Thanks! That was the plan from the start Out of interest where did you get the centre caps from?
This is where i got mine from, 100% genuine.

This is one of the threads i smile at when I see an update. This car is equal parts bonkers and inspired. I imagine it is exactly how VW would do a skunkworks Clubsport build, not unlike the Mk VII GTI Clubsport S. That, and from some angles it just looks fast even parked.
It should be called the Lupe mongoose because I bet it is just as feral and obnoxious.

Recently got a new external mic made by Rode for my Gopro Hero 5, standard Gopro mic is horrendously bad. So I thought i’d give it a quick test.

I haven’t updated this for a while so it’s about time i did. I’ve just got back from the Nürburgring, once again it was an unbelievable trip and truly is the best place in the world for petrol heads. It wasn’t all plain sailing though, on my third lap my clutch decided to give up. Managed to get the car in fifth and and cruise back round off the track. I parked it up back at the house and left it until we left Monday, some how i managed to get it home. Me being me, i picked up a new clutch today and got it fitted in around 4 hours. Drives perfectly now. I’ll leave some pictures below of the trip and how knackered my clutch was!
