After many months of deliberation I have finally decided to sell my Polo GTI due to it not being used anymore. This is because I work in London and very rarely get the opportunity to drive. The proof of this is that the car only covered 2000 miles between MOT's last year. Right, here are the details: 2001 (6N2) 1.6 16v Polo GTI (Y reg) History: The car has 3 previous owners. However, the first owner was a woman who was originally given the car as a company car and then bought it off the company, so technically it has 2 former keepers and I have owned the car since April 2005. Full Service History and HPI clear. Taxed (Dec 2012) & Tested (July 18th 2012) Mileage: 76638 Pedal box and clutch cable were replaced at 42596 miles under warranty at local VW dealership in 2006 (Invoice to prove) Gearbox was replaced in October 2006 at 48821 miles with a brand new box from VW dealership and installed and fitted by Virdee Autos, Park Royal. This was around £1000 at the time and I also have the invoice to prove it.

Just to note there are 2 small chips in the windscreen and a few stone chips on the front bumper. Not sure how to price it but there has been no expense spared on this car over the years, so here goes: PRICE: Buyer has the choice of the following options: Option 1: As it stands with WRD Mesh Wheels finished in black chrome 15x8 and 15x8.5 = £5000 Option 2: As it stands with BBS RM Multi-Coloured Wheels Radinox dishes 15x8 and 15x8.5 = £4500 Option 3: As it stands with Original Polo GTI BBS RX2 Wheels = £3500 NOTE: Private plate NOT included in sale Now the pics: Location: Dartford, DA1 NOTE: Car will be detailed before sale.

Hi everyone not quite sure how these forums work been looking around the last few days trying to get the hang of it so take it easy on me. Anyways I bought a Vw lupo last week was originally a 1 litre and it was converted into a 1.6 gti from a polo. Now I know that the guy that did the conversion and he could not get a lume for it so wired it him self. There is a few problems as you would imagine. There's a few connections loose and it looks bad. I am wondering would I need just an engine lume or a full lume or what? Money is a bit of a problem because I'm in the middle of my own conversion but I had to buy the lupo once i seen it. And advice is welcome. Cheers
