Sp3nny Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 finally got my Lupo Tdi, its my second car, the first was a 1.0 red seat arosa travelled 14 hours from Leeds to Cardiff and back to get her homethe guy lied quite a lot when selling the car as it had lots of scratches, some quite deep, as well as the paint being down to the primer on the front bumper. Also on the way home i had gearbox problems, it wouldnt go from 5th to 4th or 4th to 3rd, yet it would do 3rd to 4th and 4th to 5th so this was a real worry as it proved dangerous on the motorway. Yet when the car was cold or going below 20mph the gears worked fineHe's a black tdi with full colour coded interior, which means blue/black leather seats and headrests, leather gaiter and handbrake cover, leather upper door cards, leather stitched steering wheel, cup holders, heated seats, sport alloys etc etcafter a four hour clean:my old car:still lots to do so i'll keep you posted:- bee sting ariel- colour code badge- paint callipers- sort out paintwork- fix gearbox (if i can?)- clean interior (boot full of dog hairs)- Fix speakers (cracked)- paint door handles (scratched)- New alloys- Lowering- new Grill- rear spoiler- re-map?thanks for taking the time to look, any comments would be appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scirocco Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 what do you mean mate? these seats came with this car, it was a VW demonstator car so one of only a few with black/blue leather seats instead of just black ones. It was used in a VW showroom and was sold to someone who works for vw. only had 1 owner from new As we still have our original Jazz blue colour concept, the seats looked familiar, as you rightly say the black colour concept was spec with all black leather, so it the dealer was able to mix and match you do have a very rare beast. Only a handful of colour concepts made it to our shores as it was a £2000 factory option which was a lot on a £9000 car,however, glad we made the investment cause after 12 years she still looks great and with only 29k on the clock is hardly run in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
