weslangdon Posted December 6, 2020 Report Share Posted December 6, 2020 On ebay for not a lot of money, would you restore to original or persist with the mods, I don't like the Porsche wheels at all that would be my first alteration if I bought it. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-lupo-gti/193778234920?hash=item2d1e153628:g:BzgAAOSw-c1fySDs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattymdm Posted December 6, 2020 Report Share Posted December 6, 2020 This has been passed around a few owners in a short space of time recently. Makes me wonder if there's an underlying issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C3peteo Posted December 6, 2020 Report Share Posted December 6, 2020 Sure this was on ebay a month or so ago. Seems strange to spend that money on it so recently only to sell it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weslangdon Posted December 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2020 For the money I'd buy a Mini Cooper S, supercharged by the factory but with sublime handling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mk2 Posted December 10, 2020 Report Share Posted December 10, 2020 The new minis still suffer from bump steer and dodgy diffs. No idea why they haven't sorted the gearbox yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ObjectiveAway Posted December 11, 2020 Report Share Posted December 11, 2020 The qualitty of some details in this car is very low, therefore I wouldn't trust the overall qualitty of mods is normal. For example I can list exhaust pipe, which is turned right, and interior which looks very bad, don't even have mats on floor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
