Welding a bit of sill is hardly saving.
It is when the car was potentially going to be broken for parts no?

Wow!!
So cool you still own this. I'm here for the updates 🙂

I miss most about my old lupo gti is the size in the garage meaning I could get to things still not so much now with a mk4 R32 in there!
And the cheap to run/rare combo. Admittedly it was a second car but was great fun!

Great video 👍

Why would you want gold plating in the engine bay?!
I didn’t check on eBay, just couldn’t see it anymore on Autotrader.
I mean, it shouldn’t sell for that price anyway. You could go buy a Porsche for that sort of money…
He was taking the piss about gold plating...i.e the price of the car warrants gold.
Thing is surely it's a good thing for you guys if the price of these cars do sell for bigger money now.

It looks like they sold it though. Glad I bought mine last year
It's on eBay for the same price so guessing it didn't sell...

8k for silver Gti. What made it worth so much?
Dont take it as an insult, I’m just wondering what mines now worth.
Bodywork was mint, had brand new tyres, brakes, kw's, recent service/mot/cambelt etc.
Low miles at 55k and zero rust.
He viewed two before mine.

Cheers
The guy was about 38/39 has a mk4 golf R32 always liked the lupos and wanted to sell his golf so this was the next best thing in his eyes.
-
I sold this today.
To the first person who viewed for full asking price.
Cracking car which I'm sure I will regret but onwards n upwards.

Welcome back

Be carful with all the ladders,looking good.Iv just renewed with Aidrian Flux £250 4000 miles value at 6k
Yeah the ladders are secure. I have a door to the back of the garage which i use when taking the car out.
Mine was £275 with 1byear no claim as all my no claims are on my van..some 14 or so.

That time of year again, insurance and tax due. Owned this just over a year now.
So insured with greenlight for a 2nd year, and taxed for 6 months, won't get used to much coming upto the winter.
Had the alignment sorted and today had new brake disc and pads front and rear as well as new fluid.
Much better
long funny poems by roald dahlCar does need a clean now having got caught in the rain.

Hello guys
Just wondered if any of you were going to this on sunday?
Me and a mate are going in my lupo gti be nice to see some others there 👍
-
Controversial to some people, but I added the red piping around the grille..
Gave it a clean whilst the grille was out.. (exciting I know)
-
Still got this, pretty much spends most of its time in the garage on trickle charge, took it out today for a good blast.
Not much has changed, had a service, raised the ride height abit.
Jobs to do, get an alignment due to changing the height and taking the camber back to normal now it's on the yokos.
Disc and pads all round, front pads are beginning to crumble slightly, noted when at jkm for it's service. So will change them all.
And the spoiler to get painted, been meaning to get this done. Passed the 6ft test 😅
-
I feel silver is getting a slightly harsh time.
I currently own one, and I'll admit not my first choice, but see one in the flesh and they look bloody awesome in my opinion. I've had black and laser blue, black would be my least fab tbh.
Good luck in your search.

I can’t think of anything more you need to do? Enjoy while the weathers good.
Thankyou
It's booked in for a service a week tomorrow, and getting the temp/coolant sensor, the one that's on the dash as its abit intermittent lately.
And the only other thing I need to sort is getting the spoiler resprayed as it's got the common bubbling.
Then I will be happy ☺️

So following on from above, got the wheels refurbed in oe silver and also changed the tyres to ado8rs as sadly the road noise was abit much for me.
-
With the car in the garage I got it out today to clean up the arches and Inside the wheels, not perfect but alot better, also sprayed acf50 on all metal components.
Wheels and arches before
And some afters
Cheers
