Hi There

thought id best start a thread on here as ive had him about 3 months now.

I found the lupo on facebook for sale and being one of only five over here in jersey quickly snapped it up.

Hes tornado red, 2004 with only 49k on the clock.

Absolutely standard when i got him apart from some pretty badly curbed Bathurst wheels (didnt come out the factory curbed haha)

Heres some pics

Then hears one from my first sunny day with the gti

Then painted the badge and wheels BLACK

Then unfortunately he had a run in with a fiesta while parked at college :(

This led to a new light, wing and bonnet respray :) ;0

also got door and boot redone as the same time so pretty much mint now apart from the dreaded spoiler.

Heres my other car for anyone interested

Cheers for the interest :)

Yea the plan is to eventually get the wheels refurbed properly in a gunmetal grey gloss :)

thinking of lowering it, spacers and maybe some poly bushes :)

Urrrm yeah got some more without the grill on though
