ben16v Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 love my arosa TDi cant see a lot of difference until you get up to GTi spec tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stubcfc Posted May 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 im guessing parts are the same price as they exactly the same underneath ?. iv been quoted £1300 for a lowered 1.0 loop. is a tdi pretty much same on insurance ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben16v Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 dunno about insurance mate i`m old lol £150 a year fully comp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcusgrant Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 they're both basically the same cars, preference comes down to looks. insurance costs are something that only you can find out for yourself as everyone is individual with regards to insurance. /tread.

westie1 Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 I have both a lupo and arosa tdi, theres no diffrence other than in your head. Im not a snobby vw fan i just love splitty vans and i feel in the lupo im a step closer to owning one so prefer the lupo lol (sad as that is)Its basicaly a mental thing and its all about a badge unfortunatly lol.

Stockle Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 (edited) the vw badge should hold the price better in years to come but yea the only difference is the looks but i think the lupo looks better but im going to be bias and who are you insuring with ?

stubcfc Posted May 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 i do prefer the looks of loop and like you said they hold their value. i got the quote with elephant. with my mom as a driver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karting Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 i do prefer the looks of loop and like you said they hold their value. i got the quote with elephant. with my mom as a driver.Is your MUM (were in europe here not us of a) the main driver or just a named driver on the quote? If the is down as the main driver and you drive it more than her you will be breakin the law.Ps i prefer tge arosa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jabbles21 Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 All down to looks and the badge and what's available at the time for a good price with good mileage etc.And it's called a LUPO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 There are differences at poverty spec I think and then the GTI.They are the same car underneath though. With the SEAT you will get more for your money.And if you are buying parts from a dealer, get them from a SEAT dealer as their book price is cheaper for the same item.Either that or use LupoBoz in the dealers section for good rates for OE parts.I loved my 1.0 MPi Arosa. Things like the rear lights can be changed to Lupo type with a bit of plug modding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lupo_jack Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 i have a 1L lupo i personally think lupos look better than arosas but theres not much difference tbh engines are the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stubcfc Posted May 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 my moms going as a named driver. i dont want to go breaking the law haha. i defiantly prefer the looks of the lupo but arosa's are a lot cheaper to buy with low miles so i think its gonna come down to money.

Tomjw Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Have a look around and see what others have done to the lupo and arosa and see what you think has more potential You could go and view either for sale and see which one you feel better with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stubcfc Posted June 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 i think lupo has been modified loads and the arosa has bags of potential its weather i go for arosa and then just end up with a badly modified car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 Get an unmodded model. Start with basic lowering and take your time to find out what you like before making any further purchases\changes.OEM -60mm is always good. Even on standard wheeels and trims, though spacers may be a good option to fill the arches a bit.The badge is just that. Both cars are exactly the same under the different smile. Depends on if you blood runs pure VW or the watered down VAG type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stubcfc Posted June 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 im swaying towards the arosa lowered about 75mm on banded steels at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Jase Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 To me it goes in this order1 - lupo gti2 - mk2 arosa3 - non gti lupo4 - mk1 arosa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesTdi Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 (edited) Standard lupos are abit girly (aside from the Gti), Tho depends what kinda of style you like or how your goign to style it. Smoothed euro Mk2 Arosas look Gash, they are more agressive so more sporty or OEM+ look goes well.Tho MK1 Arosas are the best, they came first, have the best shape and look best Edited June 5, 2011 by JamesTdi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stubcfc Posted June 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 i think im going to go for the arosa mk2 when im ready buy as i do think there is alot that people havnt done on them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
