call off the search mini was recovered and is now back with its owner thanks to the power of the internet

My friends mini has been stolen It was taken from outside an appartment building in Plymouth City Centre between the hours of 9am and 3.30pm. The rear window was removed and left at the scene. The car is VERY unique! It is painted in BRIGHT Ford ST Orange and has two blue stripes down it. No door handles, no bumpers, smoothed bootlid. It was put up for sale by my friend just a couple days ago (we suspect that this is where they found out about it). The best bet is for you all to take a look at the advert on PistonHeads... long spec list and as we suspect it will be broken apart please can you keep an eye out for any bits that may be from it!! http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/1209840.htm It is due to be featured in an upcoming issue of MiniWorld aswell. contact police or ben on 07716006876

that is one hell of a collection you have there i have master system mega drive mega cd amstrad commodore c64 playstation1 playstation 2

when you had the throttlebody/idle valve replaced di they have it programed into the system as it needs to be coded in on the machine otherwise the fault will still be registering i have the same problem with mine at the moment a 1.4 sport im gonna try and clean it first though as a new one is soooooo expensive

first time i have tried to modify a picture what do you reckon all i have done is slammed it and different wheels but did this without using photoshop i used fireworks instead original picture wheels new one

few more pics for you

spotted a nice looking 52 plate arosa this morning at bout 8.30 on taunton road bridgwater had a blond lass driving it

some pics of it on bbs wheels not sure what i prefer to be honest help me choose or i might sell both sets and get some 14x 9 steffan bcws

hey i have just bought myself this little lupo and have caught the bug good and proper now lol spec so far -16x7.5/9 azev a's with 195/40/16 -14x6 g40 bbs wheels in gloss black -60mm lowering springs -full stainless cat back system -k&n filter -bonnet bra -coilovers on order and an ammo aerial -planning a matt black check roof

do it you know u want to lol the 8.5s should fit with a 40mm drop the one i am buying has 16*9s on the back and thats on a 60 mm drop with 205 40 16s and that rubs but with the 195s it clears and doesnt scrape looking good mate jamie

all the info you need is here http://www.wide-wheels.co.uk/

just paid a deposit on this should be in my hands by next weekend ;-)

could be the alternator bearings, alternator tensioner bearings(dont know if they vave seperate tensioners) cambelt tensioners clutch release bearing(i know this is a common fault with polos) try putting ur foot on the clutch and see if the noise goes away

the mini is now sold so im now looking for my first lupo

ugly but definately has something powerful under the bonnet as that is definately a fmic i see hiding there in the huge cut out in the bumper

the guy has only had it since feb and is gettin rid due to a 100mile round trip to work. the pedal box has been done and so has the gearbox the only thing that puts me off is the milage as it is on 111k and not sure on what its worth?

cut the clamp off and go out and get a set of coilovers and slam it so they cant get the clamp on in the first place i had a clamper trying to clamp my mini once i caught him in the act as he was struggling to get it on due to lack of room to get the chains around the wheel so i got in the car strted it up and drove off with him still trying to fit it lol soon moved out of my way lol jamie

i have searche through the forsale section but havent been able to find it in there.i have been back to feb. anyone know when was forsale on here?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2000-VOLKSWAGEN-LUPO...1QQcmdZViewItem hi everyone in new to the vw lupo and am looking to get one what does everyone think of this little lupo? is it worth the asking price? anything i need to look out for problems wise as it is quite high milage? regards jamie

what you need to do is use lots of soapy water and a stanlet knife blade or window scraper really work that that should get the most off then use a glass polish(tcut do one) thats how i did the windows on my mini

i am currently selling my mini i have spent the best part of 7k on and 2 years of labour it is currently on ebay at 2k with a buy it now of3800which is half of what i have spent on it, to the right person a car is worth whatever they want to payfor it. it just means to find that right person and make lots of money you will have to hold out. a cars worth and value are completely different.

no not mine my mate ian has had his featured its the black and white one in one of the pics

mini is standard body appart from the inner wings have been removed and the front end is now removable too. appart from that there are no mods needed to the body just the subframe. i have done all of the work myself with help fom my mate here is a link to my ebay listing with pics from the build and present http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...E:IT&ih=005
