Blue Loop

As LR5V says, the hole is probably for a tow hitch. As for the heater lights, its probably the bulb. See here.

That was quick! How about some pictures?

It's looking good so far!!

Best colour too!

You can use mobile.de as mk2 pointed out, that's mainly for Germany. You can also check on autoscout24.es and use the filter for it to search all over Europe, here: https://www.autoscout24.es/lst/volkswagen/lupo?sort=price&desc=1&ustate=N%2CU&size=20&page=1&version0=3L&atype=C&ac=0& Welcome

Glad you're ok and good to know it's still alive!

This thread is in need of photos !

First thing I'd check is the pollen filter. Replace if not been replaced in a long time or unsure when it was last done. Then as mk2 said

As Bems pointed out, people tend to use 195/45's instead of the more expensive 205/45's

Irony anyone?

Diesel purge is always the answer 🙊

Welcome Check the connections between the spark plug cables and the coil-pack. Mine had a bit of corrosion there and made the car judder even with new plugs.

4,5 years since I picked mine up. Should have bought it earlier Good to know you're enjoying it!

I just went to VW and ordered one when mine died

Sometimes, you even find them for sale https://www.anibis.ch/fr/d-automobiles-voitures-de-tourisme--113/vw-lupo,-2001,-206'000-km--29855696.aspx?fts=lupo&view=2&pi=3&fcid=0&pr=1

AFAIK GTi's never had the Colour Concept option, so that one you mention with a blue interior must have had the seats added afterwards.

I can

The idea is to paint one of them anthracite. Are you looking for one?

I don't think they're numbered according to the order timing. I got two (at the same time obviously ) and they are +100 numbers apart!

Mine is also supposed to arrive today

Or Lupo Sport

Looks tacky imho. Just the GTi badge for me

I bet that 6th gear was a nice surprise Keep the good work!

First LHD Lupo's (1998+1999) didn't come with a glovebox either. Blue doorcards are cool. Jazz Blue is best.

Very, very nice
