On ebay for not a lot of money, would you restore to original or persist with the mods, I don't like the Porsche wheels at all that would be my first alteration if I bought it.

I have a bonnet, a black one that I intend fitting to my car so that frees up a perfectly good silver/grey one, if that helps

Fossil fuel cars will be around for at least another 100 years... fuel costs, taxation and licencing may make it cost prohibitive though, only becoming a luxury thing for the wealthy. A bit like the "certificate of entitlement" in Singapore which is a weird system apparently. Permits can cost more than a car.
Yes, its the restrictions rather than the lack of availability that will make life difficult, I suspect its also that wealthy people who can afford cars that can do large distances in electric cars want the scruffs like us off the Motorways

With the end of petrol/diesel cars on the horizon I'd use it and enjoy it while I can, no point in storing it as the future will be here very quickly

A/c is very rare in the UK because we don't have many days when its needed, very nice colour I had an Arosa TDI & a Sport in a similar shade of blue
-
What I'd really like is a rear suspension from a Mk 1 Focus or a Mini r50, that on its own would bring the car bank up to date

They are better made than the alternatives available at the time, and while most 106's, Ka's and Twingo's have been scrapped the Lupo and Arosa soldier on

Rieger kit?, I like it and its less extreme than they did in the 80's
-
Don't know the answer to this problem but the best seats to swap to are Arosa Sport seats, much better than anything the Lupo's have inc GTI seats

Is't that only width and height of tire which slows you down? I drive 155/65 R14 and they saves about 20% of fuel compared to 175/60 R14 and 175/65 R13.
You are being pedantic

Battery not connected properly

The 1 litre can take any of the alloys fitted to either the Loop or the Arosa, 14" will be the most readily available but note that anything bigger than 13" will be wider and have a wider footprint, making the car look good but slowing it down, If you live anywhere near Swansea I can give [free] you a set of Arosa alloys these are 14", and look good painted black.

Lovely colour

Any interest at £200? Seems a shame to scrap a working car but it may come to that 😭.
Cheap as chips, even has proper wind up windows, if it were not for lockdown I'd have it as an extra spare car, wife would kill me though

You might get a sale on this site, need details though, model, mileage, owners, the usual stuff, the things that go wrong are seized brakes, electrical issues from the damp, battery should have been disconnected, otherwise they are tough little cars

Daft idea but the wrong car to start the project with.

Why, Arosa lights are much nicer?

Always have a spare in the ashtray [I don't smoke]
-
Cables are rusted so thy will be changed first, if not them its the box itself
-
the other thing is they were the coldest days so far, so could be the oil
-
No noises and the clutch works fine

Help guys she's threatening to use my 'rosa until its fixed

My wife's 2009 Golf 6 TDI 2.0 110 BHP, has gear selection issue which has gone from poor to absolutely dire over the last few days, would it be possible to fit a 6 speed box if I decide that's better than having it reconditioned, sorry its a bit left field but there are knowledgeable people on this forum, and I'm not one of them on gearboxes
-
Sport seats on the 100bhp Arosa definitely had airbags, if that's the question
Supercharged GTI

He has the Bathursts and restitution is straight forward, I may bid
