LubLupo Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 A few of you know Chris and his car, and I met a few of you at edition (Emma) and I am now in ownership of a lupo sport. I'm planning to keep it OEM+ wherever possible, a set of wheels is on the cards first when I find the right set.(Lublupo's lupo)Chris has had nothing but problems with his lupo but he's battling it out, replacing part after part. It's currently his builders van so its getting a bit tired, everythings being replaced/refurbed where possible.And after some moderate offroading; 2 cracked springs and leaking shocks meant chris finally bought and fitted some coilovers.Will go down more shortly after MOT and when he's fitted his polybushes and sump guard. Oh and he's refurbishing his orange P slots, now he's got centres as well. And theres still an arosa tailgate in the shed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boy'dup Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 Will be taking off time around edition this year though. Last year I stayed in the tent pretty well the whole time, after working a 70 hour week plastering... Now I build houses so the pace has slowed a bitReally pissed off with Adrian Flux; I've literally just cancelled my policy with them.Spend out on a horrendous deposit, then the first months premium.... but still no paperwork, no forms, no documents, no reciepts. Hell for the last 2 months I've been worried about driving because not even I have seen anything to proove I'm insured. When I rang up to ask what was going on, I get a load of random drivel about things I didnt want to hear about. Followed by a cancellation fee of nearly the deposit... lovely persons.In short my personal opinion is that they're a half arsed attempt at an insurance company, I wouldn't recommend them to anyone... Unless you like throwing money down the drain.Rant over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boy'dup Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 My Lupo will be coming up for sale shortly, it now has recaros, arosa tailgate and is now soundproofed out, currently sorned and no MOT but this will all be sorted beforehand. Will take photos of the soundproofing work and where the crossmembers are modified to take the recaros and get them up soon. The 3L rear bumper is still on the back but I'm in two minds about keeping that, depends on what money i get for the car.Cars done 84k and has had new clutch and replacement gearbox less than 10k ago, coilovers will be included in the saleWill sort out a proper for sale ad when the interior is all back in and its had a good clean. If theres any interest please PM me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lupopo Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Best colour too!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defcon5 Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Best colour too!!Got to admit, currently using a silver A3 (3.2 DSG Quattro, rather quick!) and it is very easy to keep looking good. However it never looks fantastic, like a dark coloured car can with plenty of elbow grease. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
