Hello, im Gary, im 21 from Newcastle. I've been a member on here for a while now but never really posted much. Little bit of car history, I started off with a 1.4 Lupo E which I loved! I had that about a year or so before I fancied getting something a little old school, so I picked up a 89' polo saloon, paid £400 and it only had 40000 miles on. Sadly, one night after I parked it up, a friend of mine crashed into it while he was dicking around and wrote it off! So after a few month of being off the road, I got the money from the insurance and picked up an Arosa, 1litre which stayed standard. I then lost my job and had to sell up. Once I got another job I had an urge for another mk2 polo, again a saloon which I got cheap off ebay. Had less miles than my previous one with only 30000! Again that stayed standard and I eventually got bored and decided to sell up. I went around 6 month without a car and it was awful, eventually got sick and decided I wanted another Lupo or Arosa. I found this for sale just around the corner from my house, 02 Silver 1litre with only 28000 and FSH! Was advertised for 1295 and I got it for 1175 which I was happy with. I've had insured about a week now and it drives like a new car, the body work is a bit rough, scrapes on both bumpers, both sides and rust around the petrol cap, hopefully all of which will be sorted pretty soon! I have a few plans for it, first of which is to sort the interior, it has the all light grey interior which I hate! So I have bought a Gti interior including red seat belts. Im going to wait until I find all the dark grey plastics and carpet before fitting them, but here they are, havn't got around to cleaning the fronts yet. I bought some alloys to go on the polo but never got around to getting them refurbed or fitted! So they will more than likely be refurbed and will end up on this I also picked up some brand new Cambridge rears from the dealers! They will probably go in once the paintwork is sorted! And finally, the one thing no Lupo or Arosa should be without That's what I have purchased so far, future plans are: - Get bodywork sorted - Fit all of the above - Pressed plates - Wind deflectors - Rear pop-out windows - Front fogs - Some sort of ICE (sub/amp/rear speakers) - Stubby mirrors - VW Starlite alloys Think thats about it I think! As I say I will keep updating as and when things happen, hopefully wont be too long before I get it looking how I want it! Comments/feedback appreciated! Bye for now! Gary

Hi everyone! Im new on the Dub scene and also this forum! I had a 206 for my first car but it got written off so i got told to buy a VW and i think Lupo's are pretty cute So here it is when i first bought it, it's a little 1L as im still on my first years insurance! I took my friend with me to get his opinion of it and by the looks of that photo he liked it too! I've started with the little mods first so i sprayed my badge pink and black! I also love hello kitty as you can tell by the seats.. It's got a pretty loud exhaust as well! Im not so sure if i want to keep it or not tho. It had a problem with the drivers side door not locking from the outside using the key so we set about adding central locking that i got from a carboot for £10 and its hawks! I don't know if you can see me but im right at the top of the street and the signal is amazing! I could still lock and unlock my car from that distance! Please ignore the corsa's.. this is a friends house Some chav couldnt help themselves and pulled my sidestrips off so i had to try and get that all cleaned up! Here's me part way through spraying my rear badge! And this is the end product! My future plans are: Audi TT leather seats Cades Eros Pink alloys Coilovers Tint the rear window to match the rear two windows Pressed Plates HID's Maybe Flock my alloys Pink suede interior Pink Center console Double DIN headunit Subwoofer Pink Tinted indicators and side repeaters Any C&C would be appreciated
