  1. It grinds in to reverse every time you try and I have had issues where it whines, they have said there is nothing wrong but I'm going to get a second Volkswagen garages opinion as a local mechanic has said something is definitely not right. They said they compared it to another Up! and found it made the same noises so it must be ok but to me that makes it sound more like its a common problem!

  2. You should definately put more stickers on it, maybe a nice flourescent colour to contrast against the white?

    Also, you should get some Polo Dune BBS things, stick them on and get some tyres with lots of stretch.

    I definitely think red is the colour I need! :)

  3. Theres one of these on the Folkeswagen tumblr that has the 17" (?) mini wheels that look like starlites on. Looks awesome.

    That would be someone I knows, he's the lad that did my roof for me.. his car does look stunning!

    Love them wheels, the new white beetle wheels that have the chrome middles look awesome too!

    Its funny you should say that as I want those wheels, just struggling to find them as they are the wrong stud pattern :)

  4. I love mine apart from the problem I'm having currently with my "clunky gearbox" that VW are trying to convince me is normal - I'm not impressed!

    It runs really well though, very good on fuel and isn't slow at all although I went from a 1l Arosa to the Up! :)

  5. I had been concerned about the quality of the sound system fitted to the up!, as standard they only have two speakers, the only other car I have driven with two speakers was a Ford Ka. Whilst it was not a system that audiophiles will rate particularly highly it performed well enough. I was not able to confirm if the car I had was fitted with the optional "sound pack" that adds an extra couple of speakers.

    That was the main issue I had with mine but for the extra Volkswagen wanted I decided to sort it myself. Cost me £200 to get some components and new speakers fitted along with my sub and amp in the boot :-)

  6. I wasn't too sure about these cars when they first released them but seeing how they can look I've been converted !! Your L'Up!'o is really nice haha :)

    Anybody else noticed that VW are very lazy when it comes to naming their cars ? They brought out the jetta, replaced it with the bora and now brought back the jetta, and now they've took the L and O off lupo to make the up! In a few years time we will have a Go! And a Po! As well :P

    Lol I love the L'Up!'o, maybe that could be its new name ha :) Glad you approve!

    We don't UPset anyone on here :thumbsup:

    Good as the Up Owners club stickers are being removed - it appears they aren't very friendly after all as I've noticed they have done it with another member who has asked their opinion on modifications...

  7. Its your car mate and you can do What you want to it i for one like your car and remember things are always UP and down or on the up UP

    Lol! I know, just annoys me on the 'Up Owners Club' how everything I've done is attacked...

    Each to their own eh! :thumbsup:

  8. Not the Up! owners forum surely?

    I'm at the point where I'm considering leaving it tbh. I realise a lot of people don't like them but the fact that its been slated constantly and everyones putting constant negativity on it makes me wonder whether its worth being on there! I've had negativity about removing my rear windscreen wiper too as its dangerous so I have been told....

    You'll probably have folk moaning on here too tbh about how ridiculous they are. Imo though they're only daft if you get ones that are waaay to bright and are angled too high.

    I understand that some people won't be happy, they aren't angled too high they are perfect as I've had them checked - I really can't cope with the moaning tbh........

  9. It's a proper HID kit, that's exactly why I'm contemplating leaving a different forum because I'm sick and tired of people telling me how bad it is and how illegal they are etc.

    I ordered the 50w slim ballast hi/low kit but they sent 55w that didn't have slim ballast, they fit perfectly and only a tad brighter but look brilliant I think! They are definitely HID's though...

  10. I don't know if I'm keen to be honest, I think it might be a bit much black with the chrome etc on there!

    We thought about getting the spoiler wrapped but I'm not convinced it would look right because of the way it sits on the car, I think I'll probably leave it for now.. Again I think it might be a bit much black but we will see...

    As for the coilovers I'll definitely have a look but I asked someone else about theirs and they said they couldn't find any so they have bought polo ones and butchered them lol!
