My Black 2002 Lupo GTI... Bought as standard. Has been looking on and off for a while for one, idealy a silver one. never saved for long enough to buy one. Then this came along, and the guy needed a quick sale. So I have myself a Lupo. Kept it standard for quite a while, but couldn't resist a few mods. Didn't want to spoil it, so decided on an OEM+ theme, small mods that only a few will notice.
The car previously belonged to Club Lupo members... Presty and pistolpete69.
