They are epic! I loved my Arosa sport.

Would'nt mind a Gti one day. Sure it was AutoExpress said it was the Lupo gti that had one of the best set of standard headlights on the road they had seen.

 

[Gally]

The Xenons are very very good, small and powerful, distance between Glass and projector help a lot.

Just a cracking little car.

 

[Thrust-Rated]

I hardly see them on the road too. Went to dubfest before and there were loads there, I'm sure one had an R32 engine in too?

 

[Gally]

Hmmm I bet that was interesting, quick, can't go round corners? Like a Redtop Corsa?

 

[Thrust-Rated]

Yep probably just like that, looked good in the little engine bay though.
I've got a soft spot for old VW's though

 

[Lal B3N]

I've seen plenty with some awesome conversions. Mainly all 1.8t conversions running anywhere from 250-300bhp.

Mitches is one of the best lupos all round though, that thing is epic!

 

[renclio]

yea my mum has one, great wee cars and would actually made an ideal first move for a "first sporty" car. Really easy to drive and also have the feel of an expensive 106 gti if that makes any sense? Not overly quick but still good fun.

Can they be tuned much or is it costly?

 

[Lal B3N]

Can they be tuned much or is it costly?

Costly. Same as the clios really.

Can do the usual, full exhaust manifold back, induction kit, cams and a map etc. Might see you to 140+.

Think there was a couple running 145bhp.

Can get them to 170+ish on throttle bodies depending on your budget.

Pretty sure that you'll be thinking of corsa B's with the heavy V6 conversion, the LET Corsa's I've driven and been a passenger in have handled pretty well!

I'm sure Chippendale will be in to confirm

I used to like the Gti's, but it is a lot of cash for what you get really!

 

[Gally]

That's the problem, they cost more than they are actually "worth" if that makes sense.

 

[Thrust-Rated]

It's mad money what you pay for and old golf or polo nowadays for what they are. Still like them though.

When dealers get hold of Lupo Gtis on lowish mileage they are up for crazy money. Still see a few poking around 6-7k+

 

[Stefan.]

I WANT!!

[Thrust-Rated]

That colour too!

Edit: look at the price!

 

[Stefan.]

That colour too!

Super rare! anyone wanna buy a 33k BG 182 and will come with trophy suspension and all belts and 4 new michelin ps3 just last week

 

[aucky]

I love these, hey really seem to hold their money though.

 

[Lal B3N]

That colour too!

Edit: look at the price!

Thats cheap!

 

[Gally]

Nice, I like Tornado Red also.

 

[Oggy997]

Her left hooker cost £3,300 3 years ago (2002 model)

 

[Lal B3N]

Nice, I like Tornado Red also.

Raven blue is nice aswell.

 

[Gally]

Indeed. We repaired one a year or so back at work, had a nice red stripe on the front grille in the "U" part, looked really smart, think the guy still has it, it's still local anyway.

Bloody scene tax!

 

[Hixle]

Raven blue is awesome! Always remember seeing a project thread for some dude's one, had an awesome boot opening mod where he'd made the VW badge flip and pop the boot like it does on the Leon's. Was really cool.

I also like that red stripe touch Kev, a fun of the Lupo boys do that. I just find the interior really, really drab. It's not bad, as such - just a bit clinical and dull.

 

[Gally]

Yeah even the seats are a bit normal, some cool OEM seats would be nice, RS4 seats are probably the same height as the car.

Common mod is that now, its a mk5 golf boot handle. Fair bit of work to get it done nicely like.

Some epic interiors out there. A guy called Colins was stunning.

 

[Thrust-Rated]

I think at dubfest before there was quite a few with r32 seats in?

Possibly. Will of most likely been MK4 Golf gti Recaros.

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

The premiums these command are actually comedy!

 

[Gally]

Oh my those seats!

 

[imprezaworks]

Bit girly imo
