marcusgrant Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 (edited) Well I'm not really sure what to do about this car at them moment, i sort of fancy a change but then i remember how much of a fun car it is to own and how i never seen another on the road.As some of you may know i had a slight accident in it the other month. Only panel damage, the front end if off and this can been seen.Not really sure how much it is going to be to fix in total as with it being christmas i havent been able to get costs on paint etc. Bit of history on the car - I've owned it for nearly 18months. the previous owner is on here and had it for 2 years...in this time it look like he did the majority of the mileage. cars had 4 ownersSo the car:Rarer 1.4 16v 100bhpEngine-Roughly 94kFULL service history, loads of stamps (VW, seat, Phil Grant Motors - dads company).Book full of receipts.Had the cambelt done recently.The valve on the old back box fell off so had a Scorpion exhaust fitted (cat back) at the cost of £380 including fitting....this has probably had about 500 miles through it.MOT - think its got 6 months minimum. The engine really is spot on, i looked for ages for a decent sport. I got this car on about 75k and it really hasn't missed a beat. With my dad being a mechanic as well, if its ever needed anything, it got it.Exterior-Not bad condition for its age but dont expect show condition, rear bumper is slightly faded and its looks like its had a slight bump on one side. been like it since i got it and never really bothered me. When its all polished up it looks good.On standard wheels, all of which had recently had brand new toyos (£200)AP coilovers (£400), which have been properly laser aligned (£100)What it will need from the accident - Bonnet, Bumper, Grill, Grill Surround, 2x Headlights, 1x Farside indicator, slam panel, thin bit of metal (don't know the name). Wings are all fine.Interior-GTI interior - mint.Focal components (Access 165 A1) built into existing speaker locations (inc tweeters in dash) looks totally standard. Done properly with sound deadening and decent wiring. Alpine amp under drivers seat to power speakers.All running off Pioneer head unit.Bits of carbon wrapping.Current state:After the little accident:How it looked in the past:The car is currently SORN.If i hadn't of had this accident then i would certainly not be selling it, but now this has happened im tempted by a change, it really was a great car and with a little bit of work could easily be bought back to life. I imagine if all parts could be sourced second hand it would be a pretty cheap fix?Any more questions just ask.Price - 2k ovno as it is. may seem a bit steap in its current condition but when i've just spent nearly 600 quid on tyres and exhaust alone.Threadhttp://forums.clublupo.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=58376&st=0Cheers Edited January 2, 2011 by marcusgrant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother_Will Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 Your going to struggle to make that on it, the conventional rule of thumb is that modifications dont add value, if you want to make it all back id consider selling it as parts.

I'm just not 100% about selling it and can't be doing with breaking it for parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
