  1. I now have the car spy wanted these for and will take them please
  2. It's live: http://www.copart.co.uk/uk/Lot/44340216?searchId=1860248070 if anyone reading this buys it hit me up please!
  3. I don't I'm afraid, I'd imagine it won't be until they receive the V5 - I had a private plate on the vehicle so haven't been able to do that part yet! Keep checking this link though as I'd assume that's where it'll go: http://www.copart.co.uk/uk/search?q=lupo If you (or anyone else reading this) happens to buy it and fancy sending me my sub wiring back that would be awesome, didn't realise it has a proprietary connector which is going to be a pain to source/fabricate!
  4. Yeah just keep an eye out - a bus hit the offside rear corner and spun the car 180, bent the rear axle etc. Everything else on the car is in alright shape but paintwork was poor and there was the odd scuff/dent here and there... Probably a grand in it for someone with the time and inclination!
  5. Haha nah but the amount of people that have asked is unbelievable! I just don't have the time or space to make the potential profit worthwhile - it's Coparts car now so I'm sure someone will be breaking it eventually...
  6. There is a real beaten up silver Y reg I've seen a few times, i have learnt that the driver does not engage in the camaraderie others of us do when passing ? I do know of a few other GTIs fairly locally but not seen them in Brighton! Your car really does put mine to shame, I'd be scared to leave it out on the road...
  7. We have driven past each other once at the bottom of the upper drive - if I'm ever going anywhere where I can go past you in Matlock I do, did wonder if you were on the forum!
  8. I'll take these at asking if I can collect from Brighton at some point
  9. Probably a bizarre question but did this have a private plate on it ever? There's a 54 plate GTI usually in Hove that I haven't seen for a while, just wondering if this was it ?
  10. Ahh Dale, I don't know why I didn't think of you! I need all the legal info that is required, it's just halfords do it really discretely like the (hopefully) attached photo, would yours be more like the other one?
  11. I've become a private plate prat and need to get some made up. I just want standard legal plates, nothing fancy. My current plates are from Halfords and I like them because the legal info is basically invisible - it only shows up with a camera flash. All the cheap ones I've found online have the details written in black text. Has anyone managed to get some without visible text cheaply, and if so where?
  12. Yeah I'm sure the GTI boot is steel. Mine has holes cut for the spoiler and the spoiler has two bolts, but I'm not 100% sure that's how they are supposed to be since my spoiler is from a doner car (we found this out when removing to fix the brake light!), so they might have bodged it rather than regluing!
  13. I couldn't understand why it was up for sale for so long, looks like a great buy and a very reasonable price! Enjoy it, I love a black GTI
  14. Nice! Was this the £3k one on autotrader? Leathers look in lovely condition!
  15. I've (hopefully!) messaged you on Facebook as I can't pm you on here for some reason!
  16. I was so tempted to do this the other day, as I said to Dale earlier it appears a real bargain!
  17. Ahhh was waiting for an update on this since I found out where the interior went!
  18. I think the black ones photograph worst (you need the right angle) but in the flesh I love mine so much. Personally, as someone that bought due to mileage and price, I'd advise going for the car you find with the best bodywork. Mine is ropy and it's all very expensive if I ever want to sort it, whereas anything mechanical that goes (within reason), between myself and my Dad we can pretty much fix for the price of parts...
  19. Think I saw this one advertised, was it silver? Welcome anyway!
  20. In terms of resale value and commonality, silver is probably the least desirable colour, but personally I don't think there is a bad (standard) colour for the GTI!
  21. Definitely needs a bit of love but the vent is a cheap fix and new mats/a clean will make the inside look much nicer! How much did you pay?
