My mate had a 5door mk5 shape in yellow with yellow seats. Didnt wear very well, the paint faded on it and the yellow leather got dirty very very easily!
it always made me laugh that they did a colour concept in black, couldnt see the point!
-
Welcome! If the green iv seen beetles in is the only shade, they didnt do the lupo in that green. Fantasia green is the nearest i think. Flash red ftw! Lol
Correct, the beetles are "cyber" green, the Lupos are Fantasia. Similar but the Beetles are metallic and the Lupos are solid.
-
just wondering if the 99 arosa came with power steering as standard
Yes all Arosas had PAS, Lupos didnt!
-
anyone......
Cant see why it would not fit, you would need all the bits though!
-
Similar things on sniffpetrol

cheers guys, much better but still ruined by the front arh creases
I saw a red ibiza at the weekend, the arch creases are much less pronounced in real life, they have been emphasised quite heavily in the launch photos.

Your dealer sounds a right idiot! Did you speak to the tea boy?
They are identical on all the cars yeah, there are however dark and ligth grey versions.
I told my VW dealer they were for an an arosa and he was more than helpful, he said they deal a lot with SEAT/Skoda/Audi dealers locally because there are a huge amount of common parts and it saves the wait imprting them if another VAG group dealer has the part in stock
Common sense really but your dealer has none of that!

haha you gotta spec up your fox. i've got the 1.4 urban with alloys, air con and front fog lights.
only car around with a 1.4 engine for less than £10k. well worth it
Mine is going in for it's first service in a week. they said it's gonna cost £200 i was like .. uhhhhh okay i guess I gotta look after it.
For 10k I would definitely buy a suzuki swift 1.5 GLX. (9k inc air con/alloys/fogs) Much better car all round than the fox and doesn't depreciate anywhere near as bad neither.

I would assume so yeah 185s would be fine

The funniest things i see are random old Corsa/Clios and Puntos, They can usually be found with the following stickers
"Playboy bunny on board" and various pink bunnys all over the place
"Sprinkled with fairydust"
"powered by fairydust"
"bitch on board"
The interior consists of pink fluffy seat covers/steering wheel cover and had some pink bunny shaped cushions on the parcel shelf
Only trouble is, the girls who drive these cars are absolute boilers, usually filthy fat chavs smoking fags!
Dont deny it, theres one parked somewhere in your street today!
-
I don't think the forfour has many problems, its a mitsubishi colt underneath, nothing German about it! I think the Brabus forfour is really cool, 1.5 180bhp and i dont think i've ever seen one in the metal.
-
yeah same here, when i eventually finish off at uni i quite fancy an a2, sucks that they;ve stopped production though
when i was car shopping before i found the arosa there was a guy near me put up his ex wife's a2 for silly cheap- i rang and he said it had sold in about 15minutes haha, sold for £3000 with only 40k. *She must have done something to piss him off haha*
I've been looking at A2's for a while, they are overpriced for what you get (most don't even have A/C) and there arent that many about but what i have noticed is that they sell really quickly if a decent one comes up for sale! Especially the TDI sport ones with the dark sport seats, glass roof and Climate. Rarer than the Arosa TDI!
-
The tax is a bonus, there are very few older generation cars with £35 tax, The Arosa/Loop TDI's are one of a handful including the Fiesta 1.4 TDCI and C2 HDI and even those 2 are of a slightly more modern generation.
I think they are the only 3!
-
3450, out towards market drayton way, a m8 of mine told me bout it.
I'm terrible at remembering places and names, think it was lucky I found it at all!
They seem to be quite rare, the other car I'd quite like is the 6N2 Polo GTi, seem to be lots of them around many of them are creeping below the 3k mark too!!
Ouch, I paid half that for my 52 plate 1.0! 1700 buys a lot of unleaded! Either I got mine cheap or the TDI is expensive!
-
Bugger!! The one I looked at was a Y reg. Its at a little used car lot near Shawbury, Shropshire.
The grey interior looks as though it'd get grubby in next to no time!!
No good for me at all, takeaways, smoking, nocturnal activities, etc
I was in shawbury yesterday! How much was it?
-
Been to look at an arosa tdi at a local dealer, price was good and the car was in good condition.
I didn't get it however as the interior was a horrible grey/almost white colour!!
Are all the arosa mk2 tdi interiors this colour? Really put me off.
It will need to be 52 reg or newer to have the dark interior. all the earlier ones are light grey and naff!
Which dealer is the TDI at mate? Might go for a nosey!
-
I've always got mine from Europl8 but if you have an ebay account get them off Europl8's Ebay ID. They are only £20 delivered
-
Never understood the chrome front on the R32, I get confused when i see a 1.9 TDI Jetta povo model in my rear view mirror these days!
My bro has got a mk4 R32, looks more distinctive than the mk5
-
Reminds me of that brand new Bentley at VWNW last weekend with the big chavvy chromes on. Tasteful!
-
4 cans of stella and a dremmel then! Sounds like a good way to spend an afternoon!
-
Swift Sports have taken off big time in Japan, all the top end after market companies are developing bits for them. Just a matter of time before they start getting imported. Suzuki Sport make a whole load of bits themselves but are serious wonga! I think the genuine suzuki sport carbon Induction kit is £400
-
Your arosa looks cool as ****!
Its weird how even slammed right down it still looks the same height (roof line wise) as the Golf!
-
The wheels are the genuine upgrade ones from new. I suppose you don't see them because most of the mk2 Arosas are "S" spec so come with alloys anyway. They are 14 inch 185/55/14. Mine should have wheel trims as standard
My Lambo wheels are 18" and I got them from Prestige wheels in Birmingham. They were the first set in the country and I still haven't seen another set! Apparently there have been some problems with importing them as Lambo aren't happy and classing them as fakes! They are Italian made and have a nice shiny grey finish to them.
There are some 19 inch Chinese made versions around which are plain dull silver and dont look as nice.
I took the bug to VWNW at Tatton park last weekend and I couldn't believe the photos and questions I got about the wheels, lots of people were fooled!
-
Heres my "ride"! Well actually its my going to work and ASDA car that saves burning stupid amounts of fuel in my bug!
Its a normal 1.0 with wind up windows. Previous owners added the upgrade alloys, chrome girlle and silver dash kit when new. Good thing is that its a MY2003 so has the full dark grey interior.
I'm planning to lower it and maybe get some new wheels. Only mod i've done its to add the pressed plates and clay/polish it.
Heres my weekend ride if anyone interested. 1.8 Turbo Bug with a Jabba stage 2 conversion, Brembos and Lambo reps
Setting clock?
in Volkswagen Lupo

This might seem really stupid but how do you set the clock on lupo? I have no handbook and can only see one button on the dash and all that does is reset the trip
