Silver 16v Lupo Sport, 03, 41k (Significant damage)
lupo_james replied to lupo_james's topic in Cars for Sale
After consideration I have decided to reduce the price for my car to a much more realistic £550. I discovered on Saturday that the sump is cracked so that will need to be replaced. The following spares (1 decent tyre, 1 ok alloy, 1 crap alloy and 1 scrap alloy) will be thrown in along with approx. 3l of engine oil. http://img402.imageshack.us/f/img00151201102271445.jpg/ http://img577.imageshack.us/f/img00153201102271446.jpg/ http://img707.imageshack.us/f/img00154201102271446.jpg/ -

@silver! I'm not sure mate. All I know is they won't pay me out because I'm not fully comp. Next time I definitely won't be swerving. I'm busy up until next weekend but I'll get some more pics and hopefully a comprehensive list of the damage then. I want £900 for her as she is (Y). -
So yesterday morning I swerved to avoid a fox (lovely person) and did this to my car: I only have third party insurance so I won't get a pay-out. So what to do now? Well, I would love to repair Louise but due to the fact I have next to no mechanical know-how, that would cost a fortune. So she's for sale as she stands. I also have the following spares: -2 alloys in good condition -2 alloys in bad condition -2 tired with decent tread -5l of unopened synthetic engine oil. It's also worth mentioning that my car is a repaired Cat-C write-off. More pictures will follow at the end of next week. Please message me if you're interested. Cheers Club Lupo (Y).

Supply & Fit; I've been quoted the following: New Bonnet: £270.00 New Front & Rear Bumpers: £300.00 I thought this was hugely excessive, what does everyone think? The bonnet was resprayed poorly by the previous owner and is now flaking. I had hoped that they would be able to strip the bonnet back and respray it for <£150.00, as there are no dents, but they said it would cost more or less the same as a new bonnet. The bumpers are not dented, the paintwork's just been scraped off. I had hoped that the bumpers could recieve a little tender loving care and be resprayed for £50.00 a piece but again they said it would cost more or less the same as a new bumper. Would the best option to be buy the parts direct from VW/a reputable supplier?

Bottom Suspension Arm
lupo_james replied to lupo_james's topic in Car Care, Maintenance and Mechanical
Nearside front (wishbone) suspension arm rubber bush deteriorated resulting in excessive movement. -
I've just been quoted £95 for a replacement bottom suspension arm for my sport, part + labour. That seemed a little excessive to me, what are your thoughts chaps? Also, I haven't felt anything wrong with the suspension, which seems a little suspect to me?

Cheers chaps (Y).

How many sterlings will the above cost chaps?

Could someone recommend an online store where I could buy myself a VARTA V 625 U battery please?
