Okay, so after a small incident and an engine rebuild needed in my previous daily a classic mini i decided to bring it off of the road to fix it and buy a daily car.

I had liked lupo's for a while and loved the fact you could get good vw build quality for small money, initially i viewed several 1.0 lupos and thought this was what i was going to end up getting, however once i rung up about insurance costs it was only an extra £100 to insure a 1.4 tdi over a 1.0, and with tax only being £30 a year and not £130 i would save that added £100 there so it made no difference.

So after looking at around 5 bad examples of tdi lupo's i brought this little beauty

1st job was to give it a good clean, paint under arch parts such as springs etc black again, also repaint the wheel nut dust covers in black as they had turned a horrible grey colour, repainted the callipers and drums and fitted an engine cover as it didn't come with one.

What company did you get your carpet mats from?

They seem a really good fit compared to some I have looked at.

Lovely car too :)

Martin.

Got them off of ebay if I remember correctly they were under £20 posted

Start full time work soon so lowering new wheels and a remap are to come .....

Nice, i wonder how you define a bad example?

Mine would definitely qualify, but then it was spares repairs and £250 LOL I'll be going for the rally look most likely as it's part way there already.

My plate is very close to yours btw, it might get washed twice a year if it's lucky...
