endor71 Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 I picked up my gti lupo today and it is a little rocket. I previously drove a supercharged G60 corrado and it is just as good! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> I have one question should the front grill have a gti badge?

bossjohnc Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 (edited) Yes! If it's not got one, and it's not under warranty, you can get them separately from the dealer - they just clip on. (See below!)Glad you're enjoying your purchase! What made you decide on the GTI? Edited July 15, 2005 by bossjohnc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scirocco Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 yes ir should have a GTI badge either a completely silver one or silver with a red I<{POST_SNAPBACK}>I've Just taken delivery of one of the last Lupo GTI, my GTI badges are all silver, I have seen others with a red "I" Does anyone know when the change was made to this spec or is it a case of pot luck. I think the red "I" looks better so I will probably make the change. Has anyone else here managed to buy one of the last of the breed.

Loops before and after his have had red Is.So yours is the second that's been mentioned on this forum.

I have taken the car to my lovely (not) VW dealer with regards to the missing trim, and have ordered a new front badge, although the member of staff was not very bright, and cannot find a replacement part to cover the towing hook at the front, (in the back grill at the bottom) so if anyone knows what the part number is i would be very grateful as the cover is missing on both sides! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> having trouble driving my car my wife has fallen in love with it!
