  1. i was going to buy a lupo but could not get one for reasonable money so i bought something else, but while i was looking i saw some at aution go for silly money (even for ropey cars) i dont know if its still on autotrader but i saw an 03 car go for 8k (now advertised at 9k) including fees and i thought half of the bodypanels needed some work and a coulpe of planes of glass needed work it may be worth trying to sell your car at aution at the moment as people seem to be struggling to sell them privately hope this is of some use.
  2. your car looks great apart from the wheels imo i would have loved to buy it and put standard wheels on it seems very difficult to sell a red lupo second hand so i would go for silver, volkswagon still seem to be suffering from fading red syndrome.
  3. i found the loop abit boring, but i was used to a modified mk2 golf but the car has some very good atributes feel free to ignore my responce as i have bought a renault
  4. only six? ive just got a clio cup, god only knows how many pieces will still be attached in two years time i might fancy a honda type r next but whatever it is, it will be normally aspirated
  5. raw is a possitive in my book but the 3 i have driven in the last week have all been very comfatable but the loop is a lot better looking, has less silly toys, better interior, cheaper to insure as you said, very tough choice but i would want to modify the loop, ill keep the clio standard plus the clio has a bigger boot the thing thats clinched it is, the clio reminds me more of my old golf also the rareness of the loop puts me off a little, because there will probably be spares avalability problems in the future
  6. im trying to decide beteen a 172 cup and the loop, the big difference seems to be insurance but on the fuel economy the clio sounds better from what people have said on each forum also cam belt needs to be done every 40,000 or 4 years on the loop
  7. id go for the clio but insurance on the trophy seems to be ridiculous half as much again compared to standard 182 cup
  8. is there no kit available for the gti or sport, ive seen a couple on here but they have had to put in serious time or money it would be great if webcom did a kit as they usually charge 2k or have i missed something obvious

  10. there was a review in the telegraph yesterday, basically same again - just cheaper to make

    hi, is your name allan by any chance?
  14. there must be something in the water up there, my dad recently had an exhaust made by a company in macclesfield for his cobra and it was very good quality have you just had the new exhaust from the manifold back? do they just use the origanal mounting points or do they attach it to the body? looking forward to some pics, is it rude to ask what it cost?
  15. i just sold a very tidy mk2 16v for £1500 but i would not advise someone to buy one as a cheap car to run plus they have a head gasket issue as well. if you want a cheap car dont buy a performance car, the two are mutally exclusive.
