Rosie-the-arosa Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 Hello! i haven’t been on here since 2010. I used to own a Seat Arosa 1.4 sport, made the bad decision of doing a swap for a crap car, and I’ve missed the arosa ever since! Searched high and low for another one but still couldn’t find one. yesterday, I seen a Lupo GTi and ended up buying it ? I miss these little cars, got some big plans with it ? opinions?

Rich Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 hello! I love a girl who appreciates a good lupo. i think that one used to belong to Carl, should find stuff on here if you search. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sausage Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 Saw that for sale a few days ago and it looked like a good deal, too far from me though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 It’s been for sale for ages, was my favourite lupo back in the day, think I’ve still got his build thread on my favourites list on my phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosie-the-arosa Posted April 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 Haha ? Yeah it needs a bit of TLC. Usual driver window won’t work, bits of bubbling around the arches, alloys curbed to bits. i was wanting to put a 1.8t engine in, but then had an even better idea of seeing if anyone clever enough could put an R32 engine in? Or am I just dreaming too much here? ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 r32 is possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Loop Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 Red roof and mirrors and standard badges would improve that a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2 Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 keep it as oem as poss. any playing will instantly devalue your investment. if you keep it stock, in decent condition (fix any minor things as they crop up), you'll be able to sell it for the same as you paid. free motoring for however long you keep it. in fact you could get lucky and it might even go up in price....

Yes I suppose that’s a good point actually. Hoping the Lupo becomes a classic in a few years ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
