She's a better one or two little imperfections but on the whole a nice car, the best colour too imo.. She's a belter one or two little imperfections but on the whole a nice car, the best colour too imo..

Oh and for those who asked, I do not wish to sell the plate. It goes with the car, it adds character to a cheeky little Car.

I have a mountain of receipts from previous owners and from the parts I've done. It does have a/c. I have always wanted one and would love to keep it but the drive is only big enough for 2 cars. My Audi s2 takes pride of place in garage. And meaning no dis respect to lupo but it's no S2;-)

Can someone advise me how to post pictures as I have some much better recent pictures but cannot figure it out on here.

I am putting my Lupo GTI up for sale as I have a habit of buying cars on a whim, even though I dont need it. I bought her a few months ago with a number of the common Lupo faults. Since I have had it I have done check straps, high tail brake light, had the roof and spoiler re-sprayed due to a little lacquer peel, fitted a repair kit to the rear wiper, replaced front and rear discs, put 4 Toyo Proxes tyres on her, a new ABS sensor, oil, plugs and filters changed, replaced the missing trim from the front bumper, replaced front top mounts, rear shocks, front lower arms and ball joints, both front drive shafts due to worn inner CV joints causing a slight vibration. I have replaced a window switch and the drivers door wiring loom. Prior to my ownership she has had the gear box rebuilt and a new clutch fitted. She is very straight with only a few tiny blemishes. The interior is very clean too. She is a nice looking car with the drive to suit. I want £3750 for her, i paid £3000 for her and have spent over 1k sorting all the niggles. She is a nice example that does not need anything spending on her.She is MOT'd til August and she will come with the reg plate. Ill let the pictures do the talking. If you are interested please call me on 07734441065. The car is based in Redditch Worcesterhsire. Steven.

Yesi agree but they dont make GTi specific shocks. The mounting point has more to it, to off set the extra width of the bottom ball joint and the overall wider track. With out the extra width you get a car that has 2 degrees of negative camber making the car very twitchy! I have found that the only company that do after market GTI specific shocks are Bilstein but these are very pricey. It seems that people suffer the same problems with Coilovers so elongate the bolt holes. VW spent lots of money of R&D so i trusted their experience and put originals back on and it has been transformed.

did you fit a genuine switch. They are only about 8 quid from dealers. The ecp ones are terrible quality. When you fit them you only get 1 chance as they set themselves when you lock them into position.

Well lesson learned i re fitted some VAG shocks today and the car is transformed. The monroes are going back to the motor factors asap for a refund.

You need to check and bleed the brake fluid first. Then I would reset the rear calipers by winding the piston back into the caliper. Re seat pads and caliper then pump the brake pedal to take up the slack. Only then should you use the handbrake lever. It may be that the set up was wrong or it could be that previous owner has cut corners or cocked something up. When yu pull the lever do the caliper actuator arms pull on and release fully?

Just Google search for both
