sat1983 Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 I thought mine was faulty!!! I guess the plus side is that it's one less thing to worry about but I've never, ever owned a car without a boot light. I mean how weird having a car with luxuries like xenons but no boot light!!

DarkStryder360 Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 Boot is just that small cannot fit a light in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 Plus the new mini ain't exactly 'mini' is it! They are massive compared to the originial and would say also bigger than the lupo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sat1983 Posted March 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Lupo is a budget car.I fitted one in mine, but never use the boot.Budget it may be but a new Lupo GTI certainly wasn't cheap. I just didn't know no boot light existed on modern cars. And by that I mean cars made after 1980!Plus the new mini ain't exactly 'mini' is it! They are massive compared to the originial and would say also bigger than the lupo?The lupo is perhaps a little bit smaller than a Mk1 MINI. The boot size is about the same from memory.

Ell.s Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 A lupo is a hell of a lot bigger than a mk1 mini I have both and the loop dwarfs the mini, although like you say the boot size is comparable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 When you say mk1 mini i'm assuming you don't mean the 1st bmw one, as a lad at work has the 1st bmw one and it is bigger than my lupo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobbo Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 The size of the boot hardly justifies having a light! The car wasn't really designed with shopping and loading the up the boot in mind, don't like it, buy a MINI! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The car wasn't really designed with shopping and loading the up the boot in mind, don't like it, buy a MINI! I don't care how small the boot is- when it's pitch black outside, I do struggle to see what's in there proprely. I'll survive without it but I do genuinely think it's stingy from VW not to have put a tiny boot light to help matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanSN117 Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 Stop bitching and moaning, you bought the car, no one else. If you wanted a perfect car you should have either bought brand new or bought a cleaner example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you wanted a perfect car you should have either bought brand new or bought a cleaner example.FFS why the hell should I justify myself to you?? If you're that bored of reading my threads, read all the others. You always get one on forums pissing you off with their ****ty comments. Up to a month or two ago, I had no clue about Lupo's- I've since learnt a lot, most of it is fixed thanks to helpful members on here. Give me and yourself a break.
