So presumably this being the copart one?
According to the dealer blurb this car has had the same owner for the last 15 years. Interestingly they initially listed it at £7,495 then very quickly increased the price to £8,999. I wish they would get some more pictures up on their Autotrader ad as the sole image doesn't show much other than the car is possibly running non standard tyres and needs the wheels refurbing and new centre caps.

Now you are just teasing me! Looks fantastic 😀

Your GTI looks cracking. If you ever lose the love for her and think of selling her then please give me a shout.

Super unleaded is still E5.

Just read the thread and really interesting. All credit to you in bringing your GTI back to stock. A lot of time and money on your part but well worth it.

Excellent review by JayEmm, although I am not sure about him referencing the GTI for "younger drivers". Your car looks to be a very tidy, low mileage, more or less stock example. Out of interest what's the background to the car. I have had 3 low mileage Lupo GTI's and once again I find myself looking at the various classified ads sites on a daily basis 🙂

Looks good with the exception of the rear lights. Can't beat Cambridge's IMHO.

Hi, do you still have this number plate?
His last visit to the forum was in Feb 2019. However, he was selling a GTI with the number plate on it at that time and the advert contains his name and mobile number.

I am also always on the lookout for a minter, but this time it has to be in order of preference Laser, Anthracite then Raven. It would have to be an amazing car stock car for me to go north of £7K 😀

Yep big improvement the Cambridge rear lights. Your GTI is looking really good.

I managed to do a deal with a nice guy from this forum and bagged myself a better condition spoiler and an uncracked light that works.. question is how am i going to seal it and try to make it water tight going forward.
That's the million dollar question. All 3 of my GTI's had bubbling paint on the spoiler when I bought them. Each time I had them professionally resprayed and fitted a new brakelight. I tried various ways of sealing both the spoiler where it joins the tailgate as well as the brakelight unit into the spoiler, however, no joy!

The link doesn't work and all Lupo GTI mats were edged in red.

Could do with a bit more info before suggesting a value. I am guessing its a 6 speed. Can see its got a sunroof, any other factory options. How many owners and what is the service history like. When and at what mileage was the cam belt, tensioners and water pump last changed. Two keys and manuals etc present?
-
Well done on your perseverance. I am sure you will find one at sensible money. Good luck.

They are having a laugh with that Ebay one. I got mine from my local VW dealer albeit probably 2 years ago. I have sourced obsolete stock in the past from Heritage VW.
-
I haven't bought an OEM one for a couple of years but it was only about £50 new. I would be wary of a used one due to the known issues with water ingress to the spoiler/brake light. Keep us posted on the work on your Anthracite GTI 🙂

Might be a bit optimistic 9 years on...
Yep last visit to the forum as a member was 22/02/15.

They do come up on ebay from time to time. I picked up a genuine full set which had been lightly used for not a lot of money.

Timewarp! I love it😀
