Hello All! This is my topic on my 2000 VW Lupo S 1.7 SDi. I bought it on 22nd December 2007 (Shamefully only got round to cleaning it today).Its got 85,000 Miles, FVWSH, Electric windows, Electric Sunroof, S Opening rear windows, PAS, and not much else!
I've bought this to use as my Daily driver after i turn 17 in September, hoping it'll be reliable and as easy on fuel as everyone says the SDi's are. It was traded in where my brother and dad work (i work there on the Holidays in VW Parts) so i snapped it up for £800 which doesn't seem a bad price! Hadn't seen many Lupo's for sale in N.I never mind and SDi and it was an SDi i wanted because of the MPG figures i've been told and the fact i can fit 13's on it.
Of course i couldn't keep it standard though! Going low with some Coilovers and some wide 13's, people have squeezed 9's on the back? It'll require arch work but that won't worry me too much. Also it's got its fair share of rough parts. The drivers wing is dented, the back bumper has had a bump and needs painted, along with the P/S rear arch which has had the worst Isopon treatment Ive seen in my life! Lots of other small carp ark esque marks all over so lots of touching up will be required so Ive been considering a colour change, something intresting like Matt orange or something, who knows, might go matt yellow or just the original yellow! I'll see where time takes me.
I spent last weekend cleaning inside, it was previously owned by an old woman who must have had faaaar to many cats. Lots of hoovering, hot soapy water and srubbing later the interior was in better shape. Hoping to borrow the valeting machine from work soon to do the seats and headlining which are badly stained. Other than that all it needs inside is a drivers side floor matt. Also the sunroof won't open, or the P/S window!
Enough talking, heres some pictures!

Hope to keep the updates regular, the target is to have the Coilovers, wheels and Bodywork sorted by September!
