    1.4 16v, with 34k on the clock. Needs a little spot of paint on the
    front bumper, and a little bit on the driver's door, but otherwise
    great condition.



    Best bit is that due to a slighlty chequered past (cat c due to
    vandalism damage last june, all documented and above board with DVLA
    inspection etc.) it was dirt cheap at 2700 [:D]



    Disturbingly good fun to drive, even if it does have a slightly gay interior :lol:

    I really like lupo's, they kinda remind me of mk1's.

    Loads, but I don't know what I'll get away with [​IMG]



    Wheels need a refurb, so I reckon they'll look nicer diamond cut over
    silver rather than just painted... start subtle and work my way up to
    coilies and funky stuff.

    Cool Lupo! :p I went to look at a very similar model for my g/f last week but it was 'soft blue' rather than 'jazz blue'. Didn't actually get to drive it as it was a crash damaged one and needed some work, left it as it was a bit dodgy though. [xx(]

    Still on the lookout for a tidy Lupo 16v, can't afford a GTI!

    To be honest this one was far from perfect, but its all easy fixes.
    Little scratches etc. that I've just worked out. Also stuff that the
    owner thought was a nightmare was actually dead simple, but made great
    bargaining points.



    The drivers door fitted badly, so I gave him a lecture about how the
    car must've been heavily crunched in the past... twisted shell etc.
    Also showed him the tapering shut line on the b-pillar as evidence of
    the same. Little does he know that the door was just hung wrongly by a
    dumb bodyshop guy, and was a 10 minute fix, and best of all the lupo is
    supposed to have a tapering shut-line down that seal :lol: Always go armed with knowledge :)

    Psssssst, want any Lupo GTI bits? Anything except bumpers or shell that is, just a little unstraight.
