Piping yes! Clip down in the rear - what's all that about? My fron ones are like a press stud thingy but the new ones seem to have a little push and turn handle thing??

Later Lupo's have the push/twisty things where as earlier ones have just the push stud fitment. I have no idea when they introduced the rear clips as the age of the car seemingly has no relevance - I seem to remember from last time we had a mat topic.

I'm assuming you mean the little button to turn off the internal sensors on the alarm if you want to leave children/pets/Big Chris in your car & lock it?

If so, I have one... errr four.

Yes.... but you have four buttons?!

I have the dampened grab handles, no sunroof so dont know if having the sunroof makes a difference as to whether to handles are dampened or not.

I have the red stitching on the steering wheel i think

I have the red I badges

Another difference i remember is that mines got the little vertical line on the drivers wing mirror where as some dont.

How strange all these differences confused.gif style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":confused:" border="0" alt="confused.gif" />

Edit to say mines also got the clip on mats and the alarm sensor button, although i thought all the GTI's had this button confused.gif style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":confused:" border="0" alt="confused.gif" />

There are some bizarre differences. The red gaitor has got to be best change, especially on a red lupo.

Mine also doesn't have a sunroof, so im not sure why it has the dampened handles?

Yes, that's right. 99% of VW's profit margin comes from the red 'I'. Dam, I was ripped off.

And it's Syphon123's car with the off centre badge - sorry, I couldn't remember earlier. smile.gif style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
