  1. Don't know of any difference between the years, they were all registered late 2002/early 2003, so only a small time period.

    Is yours on an '03 plate?

  2. Ill check ebay first, and thanks for the offer smile.gif style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

    I think the 1.4 Versions have a '1.4' badge and the 1.0 Lupos have 'SE'

    Not sure if thats strictly true mind, as most of the 1.0 SE's I've seen dont have any badges except 'Lupo' on them. Though theres not many about to look at really.

    Also, is your SE badge on the left of the boot, or the right? I saw a fresco green one with the 'SE' under the lupo badge (was a 1.0), and a black one with the 'SE' on the right where 1.4 badge would be confused.gif style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":confused:" border="0" alt="confused.gif" />

  3. I have seen a Fresco green with a 1.4 badge without the SE and my Fresco Lupo has just SE, i have only seen one black one here in Somerset.

    We'e got two 1.4 SE's and neither of them have 'SE' badges on them, I didn't know that some SE's had 'SE' bagdes till a few weeks ago! I think ill have to get one smile.gif style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

  4. Mahoosive sig you got there, nice car though smile.gif style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

    YOu can cut up an old credit card into strips, and slide these into the slots smile.gif style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

    Beat you to it tongue.gif style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />

  5. Could have been my mum except her car is green not black. Have to keep an eye out for this one then blink.gif style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blink:" border="0" alt="blink.gif" /> .

  6. Yeah the 1.4SE is seems to be very rare, I could only fond about 5 for sale in the whole country when I got mine. I've never seen another 1.4SE on the road. When was it last week?

  7. My second spotted in as many days and it still wasnt me! sad.gif style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" />

    The SE's are even rarer on an 03 plate. Did it have a 1.4 badge on?

  8. also, i have a basic idea on how to fit but dont think ill manage on my own (first mod on my car) are they expensive to get fitted at a garage?

    Yes same here, I just asked my mechanic today and he said about £80! He thought that I'd need new shocks as well (for 30mm eibach springs).

  9. How bads your geography! The MR is in Swindon, last time I cheaked thats not the north east laugh.gif style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

    I got an A* in geography tongue.gif style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />

  10. What a bizarre roundabout that is, I remember someone trying to describe it to me but I didnt know what they were on about. Perhaps we should go there for the next North east meet if the weather is bad at Holy Island laugh.gif style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> !

  11. I've done a bit of searching, and I'm looking at the Eibach pro kit. It seems its the one VW use for their 'lowered suspension kit', and should be fine with the standard shocks on too.

    Can anyone recommend the best place to get them from, on the internet all prices seem to be about £150 sad.gif style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /> , are they worth the money?

    I dont know that much about suspension setups really, just what I've read on here. Any advice much appreciated smile.gif style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> .

  12. Overtook me on the A66, I followed you into the town centre. I was in a black lupo.

    55 plate, must be one of the last GTI's registered, looked very clean.

    Also saw a silver GTI on the way home, had the old style black and silver plates, seen it a few times before round here.
