Hi guys,

I'm a new member I've just went and bought my first car which happened to be a 1.4 Jazz Blue Lupo, picked it up for just under a grand with 70,000 miles on it

Here it is...

Gave it a wax the other day, didn't make much of a difference but does look a bit cleaner

I've not really done anything to it as of yet apart from silly stuff like a stubby aerial, rubber mats etc. I will get coilovers but I've not even passed my test yet so don't really want to play about with the suspension just yet, was thinking about AP's as they're not too expensive but still have decent reviews.

Not too sure on what wheels to get, was thinking about a few tbh. I thought 15" Mini One wheels painted white would like pretty cool...

ones like these http://img.coches.cozot.es/pics/uk/2014/08/15/MINI-ONE-SALT-PACK-MILES-FSH-20140815002915.jpg

Anyone got the proper name for those wheels? was also thinking about deleting the bump strips and the Lupo badge and to get black VW badges.

It will probably be a few months until I do anything major like coilovers but I will post it on this thread when its done.

Oh, I've also noticed a few issues with it. The boot lock is completely seized, the handle works and it opens fine but the lock just doesn't move so its constantly open. It does look very corroded and will probably need a new lock barrel - does anyone know if its easy to replace?

also I was driving the other day and the exhaust emission light came on, should that be anything to worry about?
