  1. Yes. I am aware of the mystery. Even though it’s still mysterious because Rich is being mysterious but I know the mystery. I’m rather honoured. And yes Rich I have kept the mysterious thing a mystery. ❤️

  3. Rarely ever is a used car sold without a reason. The best you can do is look it over, drive it around and get a mechanic that you trust to have a look at it. The reason it is on the market will often be evident, sometimes the seller will level with you and save you the bother of finding out yourself. Most times (I have only bought 1 new car in my 40+ years of driving and it took 3 years to sort the bugs out of it!!) it is something you won't know about or suspect until it rears it's ugly head down the road later. I have learned that is just part and parcel of car ownership. Some makes and models are known to be bad buys but other than that I just buy one that suits me, looks fairly clean and sort it out as I find things. Oops! This was supposed to go on your other thread! Sorry! To answer your question on this thread, I do like the smaller bumper look but now you need to do the same to the front to balance out the appearance. And yes it would be difficult to maintain the crash integrity of the stock bumper in the downsized version but it would look so much cleaner!

  4. The back bumper only starts to look stupid when the car is stupidly low, especially viewed from the rear. Same deal with the rear arch on non GTI as the rear wheel moves forward in the wheel arch when the trailing arm is beyond horizontal and the gaps look horrible when it is very low. This one looks all right though as it hasnt reached that point. (apart from the slightly bent sill seam, another thing to watch for as they are weak and improper jacking will ruin them.)

  5. IMO.. If you get rear ended at low speed - With the the original bumper & internal iron your Lupo usually will live to fight another day. Without the bumper and iron it will very likely your Lupo will get written off.
