Hi all I've been a member of the forum since I bought my Lupo back in 2005, with one previous owner. It was my first car from aged 17 and I still love it but I’ve just had a baby and as it’s not baby friendly (or ULEZ friendly as I live in London) it’s sadly time for the Lupo to find a new home (I hope). It’s a 51 plate, with approx 68k on the clock so done very little mileage for the workshore that the 1.7 SDi engines were designed for. It has always been well looked after, all advisory work done at MoT’s and serviced every year. I added fog lights and changed the interior to the matching colour but otherwise it’s the S trim. The bodywork is in good condition for a car of its age, it’s had several ‘touch ups’ by my father but most aren’t noticeable. It needs a new electric window motor fitting to the passenger window, the drivers one has already been replaced but it’s an easy fix (I just don’t have time with a newborn prior to selling). The only other point I have to make is that it is Fantasia Green - so a bit of a marmite colour! I was wondering if there would be much interest for it and would appreciate expert views from other forum members please? Many thanks Han

Hi guys, new member here. Last week I decided to purchase a Lupo GTI to add to my collection of cars. This is a JDM Import with 39,000 miles on the clock so as far as I know this is the lowest mileage GTI in the UK. The GTI is currently sat in my dream car garage while we decide what plan of action to do with it and in what order. Ive already had the car serviced to the max with all the fluids changed, new auxiliary belt and new Michelin tyres all around. For any members who are local to Mansfield you are always welcome to drop by the HQ ( YumCars ) where the car will be 99% of the time for a chat and a look around the car, hopefully we can and will build a good little Mansfield Lupo / GTI community. The reason for the purchase is I want this as a development car for car care products, to film the progress on the YouTube channel and also to put my own spin on modifying this car with hopefully the best parts available in the world ( the last part will be ongoing ) Hopefully I would want to help existing and future members within this forum with my knowledge and experience that I gain with this car as everything will be getting documented and shared with the world and in time this will create a huge source of information for you all to reference to in the future. A little back story on me, I own a car care brand which is based in the East Midlands Mansfield where we develop and manufacture high end premium solutions for washing and protecting cars and also for customising pressure washers with short guns, foam cannons etc... So as mentioned above this car will be perfect for the development of products and also to showcase them on the paint or interior. Below I've linked the introduction video which I filmed for the car on YouTube, hope you guys enjoy and hopefully I can contribute as much knowledge as possible within my areas of expertise.

oh, well in that case I don't think you should have any issues at all as long as you're not going crazy low! I have 195/40/16s on 7.5j et35 wheels on mine and never scrub I was also at one time running 8J 16 inch wheels with an offset of 25mm and they only rubbed occasionally so I think you will be fine

Mmm, nice. Price is right too.

I love the colour but it’s an acquired taste, so I’m told! Will be uploading detailed pics later this week but attaching one for viewing. Looking for £1500 ono. I’m SW18 London.
