Evening guys, A very quick question. I surf quite regularly and have a 9'2'' surfboard. I'd be looking to carry it out roof bars on the lupo (when I get one); - Do the roof bars mount securely onto the car? Particularly concerned about the back, because I presume the front wrap round to the door? - would the surfboard be too long to carry on the lupo? Would there be too much overhang? Thank you

Still on the hunt for the GTI, does anyone have any recommendations? We saw one last week but it had been lowered and felt too hard when driving.

Thanks for the advice guys. Will wait for a good one to appear. What sort of ball park figure did you pay patroddy? LUPOES, do you have the link to the one you mentioned?

What do you guys think about higher mileage examples, those with 100k+ miles. If they have a FSH are they still okay?

Great advice, thank you

What do you guys make of this one? http://bit.ly/QvVFVh How much do you think it would cost to get the dents repaired and the rear wing done?

Hi guys, A quick question, would you ever buy a gti that hasn't got any service history? Is it too risky? Thank you.

Agree with you there, a few more years and it would be justified.

A few more seem to be popping up, just spotted this one on eBay, can't believe the price! http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201403242768588?atmobcid=soc4

Nice, I was hoping sj2112's was still available in April as that's the first opportunity we have to travel down to view. Looks an awesome example.

Sounds like you are in a very similar situation to myself. We have viewed 3 now and have not found the ideal one yet. Which one are you viewing this week?

What do you guys make if this one? http://bit.ly/1hJpF7a

Certainly worth the distance, it's just the problem of having the time to drive there and back for the next couple of weeks. If it's still available in april we will come down

Hi SJ2112, We would love to come and view yours, only problem is the distance. We are pretty busy over the next 2 weekends so can only view ones that are fairly local to us if they become available (we live in Worcester).

Thanks for the help guys, the search continues... Really can't wait to get one, hopefully soon

Hi guys, Spotted this one in the classfieds. http://forums.clublupo.co.uk/index.php?/classifieds/item/3927-lupo-gti-2001-for-sale-l2000-ono/'%20title='Lupo%20Gti%202001%20For%20Sale%20%A32000%20Ono It's got a problem with the gearbox, how complicated and expensive could this be to fix? Would it be a new gearbox and clutch? Thank you

Is the smoothed front bumper an issue? Nice photo

The third one is very nice, however we ideally would like a silver one. What do you guys make of this one; http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201401281372395/sort/default/usedcars/model/lupo/make/volkswagen/radius/1500/postcode/wr11qe/page/1/onesearchad/used%2Cnearlynew%2Cnew/keywords/gti?logcode=p Don't like the wheels in grey or the badges like that, but worth a look do you think? Thank you for the help, determined to get a good one

Hi sj2112, Just spotted that and I was going to ask your guys opinion on it; http://forums.clublupo.co.uk/index.php?/classifieds/item/3918-very-low-mileage-53-plate-vw-lupo-16-gti/#questions Thank you.

Great advice, thank you. Do you know of anyone on here selling a gti soon?

I had spotted that one this morning guys, thanks for the heads up. As you can tell we want to get an original spec one, and I was instantly put off by those rear lights and silver trim to the interior. Maybe best to avoid as the boot does look dodgy. The search continues...

The pedals look like standard lupo pedals, which seems strange. Can anyone recommend any other places that Lupo GTI's are advertised, other than autotrader/eBay/pistonheads

Thanks for the advice, that's what I was thinking. It may take a few weeks/months to find what we are after. We have seen 3 so far and everytime we see one it makes us want one even more. Really great little cars

With reference to the same car, the pedals are also plastic, not stainless steel. Would there be a reason for this? And would it be much of an expense/job to change them back? Thank you.
