Hi,

Right basically i do motocross and i need something to tow my trailer with and this is impossible with the lupo gti due to the exhaust being in the middle, so i've been looking at other cars like golf gt tdi 'n' stuff but when it comes down to it i cant get rid of the lupo, is it possible to fit a tow bar to a GTi? now i know it will look **** but is it possible?

This is no joke by the way i love the lupo and dont wanna get rid of her.

cheers

I have seen a towbar on a mk5 R32, looked absolutely dreadful, but obviously functioned.

Anything for a lupo would have to be custom made to fit to the chassis under the spare wheel space and sit under the exhaust protruding enough to allow gases to escape. I am sure that there are some legal restrictions for towbars, so u wud have to check these.

Easy :D

The weight of the 1.4 is 850kg and my vans weight is 600kg

It pulls it easy Its been all over the uk. If you go to many VW shows look out for a taxi looking loop and and a caravan ;)

Wow okay. I just sold my 1.4S, but would never have even imagined towing a caravan with it.

Ooh, good to hear. Because I just bought a Lupo 3L 1.2 with an intent to tow a caravan, lighter than 750kgs. And tow it across Europe :D

Well I’ve never seen a tow-bar fitted to a Lupo. But I cannot see why it shouldn’t pull a caravan. More so if it has a 1.9 Diesel engine. We went up to Liverpool. From west wales. And that old x reg Lupo flu along. All I can say is they are brilliant little cars. And you generally cannot find it in a supermarket car park. Purely because they are so bloody small. Nippy little car. But bloody small.
