Gavz00mer Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 Hello all,I've just joined thee Forum today after viewing and buying a moon silver Lupo GTI today. I guess I'm just reliving my youth, however I never actually owned one of these before. My last fast ish car was a honda civic type R which I bought 12 years ago.Looking forward to collecting the car early in the new year and planning to spend the winter cleaning it up ready for the spring. Any hints tips as to what I should be doing with it, any areas I should check and clean out that hold up water?The car is coming with loads of spare parts and will set about adding a few of these too to enhance the look.Anyone else from the Grampian Area on here?Hope everyone had a good Christmas and all the best for 2015.CheersGav. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bems Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 Welcome. I'm in Aberdeen. Saw this car advertised I believe. Good little list of extras. Looked pretty clean already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
