Haven't seen this for ages, had a little whimper at the interior. :lol: Forgot how good it is. Skills on the custom steering wheel there too.

Not that it probably matters, but this car is the reason I went out and bought another Lupo. Saw it at VW Festival and was seriously impressed.

thanks for the kind words guys i suppose i better give a bit of an update well ive just been maintaining the lupo for the last few months new cambelt and water pump have been fitted along with a new sachs clutch kit so no more heavy clutch pedal, ive also had two new rear brake calipers fitted as the handbrake mech was sticking on. I havnt done any shows this summer as i was busy partying in ibiza and working hard. Ive been getting more into detailing lately and days off work have been spent on other peoples cars!
