lupo1.0se Posted February 15, 2018 Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 (edited) Another new thread. This time with accessories you might not of seen before. I will start with the obvious one. Brochures. This everyone done for the UK including a German 3L TDI one thrown in. The bits to the left hand side are accessories pamphlet and marketing material (bought as part of a job lot years ago) Next we have a press pack which has details about the launch of the lupo to UK market. After this we have the promotional material for the gti tabasco sauce. Unused. Box isn't the best. But includes a little brochure inside (I have an extra one in the first photo to the left) Then we start getting to the more unusual ones. Lupo pins badges. Then we have a lupo pens. The white one is parker ball point in there. The 3l one is a multi-coloured one. (Red and black) and a lupo thermos too. and finally the most unusual is a Lupo coat. Yep a lupo coat.

Skezza Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 Some weird and wonderful things there. Odd, but still wonderful. To be honest, it makes me a bit sad that they don't still make the Lupo. I would love to go and buy a new new one. A few of the enhancements of modern day VW, in that wonderful little box would be brilliant. You can retrofit a few features, but it'll never be quite the same.

Rich Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 enhancements. they would put electronic steering and a light, that's not enhancing it. they would all be one litres, that's not an enhancement. everything would be less quality. i would rather send mine back fifteen years and have it kitted out then.

I think you're taking what I said a bit too literally. The build quality of the Lupo, agreed, far superior to the Up for example. However, there are certain modern features that I think would be great in a Lupo. Some are retrofittable, many are not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get a Tesla with the Renesas dash then. No buttons at all. No internal combustion either. There's a balance to be had though. Cars are tactile, which is why we all know and accept that the quality of materials found many modern cars is utterly dreadful compared to the older equivalents. It's the features, some of which are nice to have, that I speak of. I was thinking though, if you want to accomplish a feature set that could be found in a modern car, the perfect Lupo is the TDi with air con really. Cruise control is easily retroffited. The ECU can be remapped to give some oomph. A modern sat nav head unit can be installed (same as any Lupo to be fair). EW, RCL as standard. A MFSW with the buttons working, is hard, but not impossible and I'm pretty sure it's achievable with some bold electronics. You're now getting close to the features you actually want, from a modern car. Most of the stuff you find in new cars is just vanity or useless, but I think an AC TDi, with all those I mentioned would be pretty good.

mk2 Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 yeah, i've done just that to one of my mk2s... it has (probably the only one in the uk) ac. and bluetooth/wifi hifi. no EW or CC but yes to RCL. very few wifi connected car hifis out there. i can park near the house and download up to 32gbyte of music without plugging anything in... philips. just fitting RCL to my black lupo if someone can supply me with the little LED door button bezel. then i can finish it. I put that philps hifi in the black sdi and love it. no cd player but they're already extinct anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
