VW Lupo 1.0L - Coilovers, BBS Splits, GTi interior etc

Description:

My VW lupo - 1.0E in flash red.

98k on the clocks had a new cambelt/aux and service (coolant, oil, filter, plugs etc) march 2013, serviced oil, filter again last month as well as discs and pads with receipt. In my ownership since 2012 I've replaced balljoints, track rod ends, exhaust backbox, suspension, discs, pads, cambelt, water pump, aux belt, plugs, filter, battery and I've serviced it every 8,000 miles with Castrol GTX oil and a genuine filter.

A great car never missed a beat I've owned it nearly 3 years, started every time no problems! Even on the coldest of days. Nippy for what it is great on fuel £20 returns 150 miles. Very cheap to insure, £500 for me all mods declared at 20.

The car has some modifications, mostly subtle and nothing that couldn't be put back to standard! It's currently lowered on TA Technix coilovers, which have done about 5000 miles, purchased brand new august 2013 for £250. It sits on BBS RS Reps 15x7 ET20 with 195/45/15 Primewell sports, both wheels and tyres were brand new last month with receipt. They are mint and look amazing, the car sits really well on them.

It also has the seats from a lupo GTi. These are much more supportive and comfy than the standard lupo seats. They are a dark grey with red stitching so go really well with the car. They are a must have upgrade for any lupo owner and set me back £250, they are mint with no rips, tears, stains etc.

Has a rockford fostgate active sub in the boot (leaves half the boot still in use) which sounds immense, this wasn't a cheap sub and was bought for £300 last year. It's not OTT it's nice tuned bass in a small package meaning you can still get a few bags of shopping in the boot but enjoy bass. Can leave this in for the right deal along with an aftermarket headunit (MP3, AUX, SD, CD etc)

Car is clean for it's age. Always get comments on how well maintained it is, paint is healthy and has been maintained using autobrite direct products. Washed once a week and a good coat of wax always maintained. Unfortunatly the driver door has a small dint/ripple in it from some kind soul pushing they're door into it at a supermarket. A small scrape on the front bumper (passenger side), a small scrape on the rear 1/4 (passenger side) and a crack in the indicator panel. I bought it like this and it's never really bothered me, for it's age it cleans up really well but the bodywork is not 100% mint but after all it's an older car. Nothing that has ever bothered me and I like a clean car. Honesty is the best policy. The roof has been wrapped professionally in gloss black vinyl which I think looks great.

Tastefully modified, lowered but still practical, handles well. Great first car, super cheap to run and insure.

Very cheap to insure, great MPG, great looks and surprisingly practical!

Spare set of pressed plates included

Has remote central locking (retrofitted), MOT until feb 2014, taxed until January 2014.

I'm now commuting 300 miles a week to and from uni and so I'm looking for a diesel ideally as I don't want to stack the miles up on the lupo. It deserves to be enjoyed on country bends and around town - ask any lupo owner they drive like go karts and although they aren't powerful you can have some real fun in the bends with them. A great first car for anyone or a cheap runner for someone who's struggling to insure.

I've been as honest as can be about the car and I truly do love it but it's time to move on!
