rig_pig Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 Hi there guys, I'm Paul and along with my wife Kelly, we're big VW fans living in Helston in the darkest depths of Cornwall!We've been through quite a few VW's including a T4 and a few Mk2 Golfs. My current daily is a stock Bora TDI, very black and very standard!Kelly has recently sold her old 2f Polo Coupe and replaced it this week with an '02 Lupo 1.0 SE. Whoever bought the car brand new ticked almost every box and as such it has aircon, heated seats, 6 disc changer, remote locking, 'leccy windows, 3-seat rear bench, the list goes on! But the thing that grabbed us the most was the VW Accessories bodykit. Sounds tacky but we reckon it looks great! (Not so sure on the S-line badge though!)Anyway, enough chatting, here's a teaser pic from the original ebay ad. More pictures will follow soon after I've given it a proper clean and detail. Out of interest, this is the first time I've seen a Lupo with this kit, I'm assuming it's quite rare? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'll confess to not being that knowledgeable on Lupos but one look at this car and we knew it was something special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete91 Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 I'm not a massive fan of the kit tbh. What skirts are on it? I'm in agrreeance with it not being an se. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rig_pig Posted July 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 I'm not a massive fan of the kit tbh. What skirts are on it? I'm in agrreeance with it not being an se.It doesn't have skirts, just front and rear bumpers and a GTI rear spoiler. Each to their own but we like it and at least it's a period kit fitted from new rather than some barry boy special.As I said, I'm not overly up on my Lupos at the moment, what makes people think its not an SE? Not being shi**y, I'm just very willing to learn! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupo1.0se Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 (edited) There are two types of Se. The first type was produced for less than a year (2000) it only had optional softline wheels.The second one only had the choice of black and green - (what i have) and was produced for just over 6 months. It had specialist 'shark' interior as well and suzuka alloys. Edited July 12, 2012 by lupo1.0se Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
