was luking through the autotrader 2day and noticed a 2000 red loop, 1 litre wiv coloured coded bits(thought it was an s model), its obviously an import, but wait till u hear the spec it had! `usual-pas` e/w! c/l! front fogs! heated seats! and the price £2495! a cheap car or wot?52k on the clock wot u guys think? should i phone and enquire, wonder wot the interior is like!

does any1 have a link to the website of the show handy? im debating weither to go to show at donninghton or bathgate, which wud b a better show?ie more cars at it?

any1 no where i can get my hands on sum tickets for the show? or how much thay r?

just wondering how close bathgate is to edinburgh, coz me and the other half wud like to go, we wud b flying to edinburgh, any info on accomodation wud b gud 2!

if i had a gti i wudnt hesitate to put 17's on her,with the big wide arches and all it wud look sweet, but as i dont ave 1 the biggest i wud put on wud b 16's. ur gti has the power anyway, which is y i think u sud go 4 it, it wud b different if it was a 1 litre, cud u imagine, how uncomfortable and slow that wud b?(i cn a red 1litre other day wiv 17s on her, it did look well and made me look) but i wud definately go 4 look(styling) over performance... especially if its a gti, they r bound to go very well anyway!..but thats just my thoughts!

how come theres no lupo mags out?am i missing sumthin?seen that carbon bonnet loop in this weeks vw performance, but thats it!lupos have been out since like 1999 and there are friggin new mini mags everywhere!its just not fair! :cry: vw performance mag is how i seen club lupo advertised style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />

cambridge definately!but thats just me

as the book performances are usually way out on times for `0-62` and top speeds i was wondering wot sort of times other loops were putting out. just to compare and as ive only bn in my own loop and another s model. my loop- 1.4 16v...75bhp ive never timed `0-62`, but im interested to c is it less than 12 sec and so far my top speed has been 125mph, think it was pretty much flat. just thought it wud b interesting to c wot top speeds 1litres, 1.416v 75bhp, 1.4 16v 100bhp and gti's were putting out in comparison. apologies if this topic has bn discussed before.

nope aint seen any black dun up loops about here, will keep my eyes open. sounds nice tho.will ask around.

hhmm... price of rear spoiler, now ur askin!was 2+half years ago, but i cud find out 4 u.i get a pretty gud discount from vw tho...-not as cheap as £10!! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":evil:" border="0" alt="evil.gif" /> . yeah rear lights were lupo se lights(that the same as cambridge ones?)they were£36+vat each, theres sumthin funny about the rear fog lite tho(mines ok), think they have sorted it now tho, dont think earlier rear smoked lights had that function.guy i no had problems with his, which put me off getting them 4 awhile, but glad i did tho.both bought from vw. i wanted my car to look like a sport, and ur prob wondering y i didnt just buy1, but at the time i was 17 and learning to drive, insurance is a ****** and theres noway i could have affored 2 buy the sport (new) or pay the insurance. some companies wudnt even quote me 4 it, but im happy wiv my car, she quick enough for me and only group 3 insurance. wot more cud i ask 4!? im glad u al like lupy :wink:

WELCOME!J (cheers cliff owe u big time!) this is my ickle lupo!....-“lupy lou” apologies for not mintin her before i took picks, was just sooo excited and wanted to post pics on here asap this is my 2002 jazz blue lupo s, (1.416v…75bhp) hope u like..... rite now all mods done to lupy since i got her....... when i was ordering lupy i ordered factory fitted fog lights, heated washer jets electrically adjustable door mirrors etc and abs. she arrived wiv a spoiler and 14" kyalami loys on her, next step was to lower her, so bought 30mm eibach lowering springs, and got a clifford alarm..wiv remote central locking. Then gota grill off vw, then got lupo se rear lights. Also put a 16v badge on the back or her, instead of 1.4 badge. put an oettinger badge on the front grille, put a gamma radio in her and a 6disc font loading cd player, also i `de-locked` her, which i think looks pretty well. Hhmm...think that everythin at the min, want new loys for her...among other things, exhaust, k+n etc thanx for all the comments guys! spoiler is just a genuine vw one, it’s in the lupo brochure, grille is in there 2, the only reason I still ave dealer sticker on bk window is just to make the car look not like an import! is that stupid? cheers for postin them cliff, had no idea u were goin2!?did I send u ne more? style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> thumbs

100bhp lupo is 10.0 sec(`0-62`), insurance `group-6`, top speed 116mph according to the book 75bhp luper is 12.0 sec(`0-62`), insurance `group-3`, top speed 106mph according to the book, but ive had mine doin 125mph, never timed `0-62`, will have to. any use?

i thought they wud buff like mad, uve just talked me into buying 17"s, was gonna go 4 16" coz thought 17" wudnt fit and be really uncomfortable, were ur loys dear?ur pics r kool by the way 8)

thats a tidy luking loop uve got there!ur loys luk massive....do they buff much?

the springs are original equipment fitted by a vw dealer, if there was ne chance that i thought my car wudnt b covered i wud not have bought the springs, my boyfriend works for vw i think he wud no.......he suggested the springs and fitted them, and my car has been in 4 work about the suspension before and nothin was z, so i presume that eveythin was hunky dorey.he z that eibach was the only springs i could put in that wudnt affect my warranty.... so i bought them.unless im sum exception to the rule?

she luks mint!v clean car, my friend bought a vento few months ago, he luvs it, luks wel, make sure and post more pics!

sum v kool pics at ye! r u a professional photographier? is ur lupo appearing a mag or sumthin!luks v well tho 8)

my eibach springs werent bought or fitted by vw, and my car is stil under warrenty.......

flip me, thats sum transformation!poor lupo was recked! luking gud now tho

yeah thats rite, vw recommend eibach springs and the car will be covered under warrenty if these srpings r used. i think u get wot u pay for with springs- my friend bought some cheap springs and had to replace them after a few months and all the paint has flaked off `them-they` were f**ked. i would definately go 4 the eibach.....b cheaper in the long run!

hey yeah i wud recommend eibach springs as well,thats wot i have on my loop, it is lowered 30mm, its not 2 low, but u no its lowered, its not uncomfortable, and no buffing!and handles really well, im very happy wiv my springs, think they were like £100 from halfords....was 2 years ago..but i got discount!4get how much 4 tho!

think i will change the handling of the lupo to be not the best thing, wudnt b the worst, but certainly isnt the best quality of the car, handles alot better since it was lowered, thats y i z it handled well, but not as standard...if u no wot i mean.

klass, u guys r soooo lucky, im soooo jealous, its not fair, was it like a show or a race or sumthin?was it just loops or v dubs?kool will have to make and note of that and go nxt year! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> nice rims on ur red gti, lukin gud 8)
