Silver! Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 Hi All,So I've bought a Silver Lupo GTi. 54 plate and it's been here for it's entire life as far as I'm aware.There are probably some on here who know more about it than me, but here's a few photographs taken on the first weekend of ownership...In the front garden with her stablemate...Lupo want's to play...House of Bruar, A9.No mods happening, she's staying pretty much as she is.She already has KW coilovers (if anyone knows exactly what type please let me know), so I'm more than happy on that front.GTi badge going back on the rear. If I'm paying the insurance, then I want people to know!Single head CD player on route.I've bought a standard GTi 6 speed gear knob, but I'm feeling the love for the Momo solid machined alloy/stainless ball.Looking for a 'new' space saver as I want to carry one on long trips. I'm gonna get a bag made up so it'll sit in the boot.So if anyone has a spacesaver up for grabs. Must be as new.TSO says I'm like a 14 year old boy looking at a pair of boobs in the flesh for the first time!I tend to agree!Ray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swoxy Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 (edited) It sits so right.You need to decide if you're going for a GTI badge or a GTI badge style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> Edited May 27, 2007 by Swoxy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
payna Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 yeah as said, im 99% certain this belonged to 'loopy lupo' - aka alex, but he was forced to sell up when the baby was born. then 'silvergti' purchased the car from somewhere down his way...its on kw v1 coilovers too might i add.good too see its at a good home and still in the club!

db Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 Yeh as Andrew said, it used to be owned by Alex (think he lived in Wales), it was really well looked after when he had it. When the new owner got it he posted up pictures, but i don't think much was heard from him after that. It's a very nice car, i hope your enjoying it!

You have a nice car for someone of your years. My first car cost me £80 (in 1980) and quite a bit of work to keep it on the road, though I did have a bike at the same time which cost quite a bit more (Kawasaki KH250 - £500 in think).Recoginse some of them roads!!Up by the slate mine is some amazing scenery!Nice pics, Gti looks great style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shades:" border="0" alt="shades.gif" />Yeah, love the Lakes, like one of those model villages you get in holiday towns, but of Scotland!Thanks!Ray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
