So Emma was trying to sell her MK4 Golf GTTDI last month and didnt really get much interest in it, we were offered a Lupo GTI as a swap so decided to go for it as we thought it would be easier to sell.
Did the deal and instantly she fell in love with it so its a keeper.
Its a Y reg with full VW history, usual GTI spec, only thing its missing is the 6 speed box but has a freshly rebuilt 5 speed in there.

Its such a joy to drive, feels alot like a 106 GTI but obviously better built and newer.

First thing we did was to order a red grille surround like on the MK5 Golf GTI's, next plans are a panel filter, lower it a bit and have the wheels refurbed in dark anthracite.

It came with a bonnet bra which we quite like when its on, wont be too everyones tastes obviously.

Anyway, a few pictures.........

Yep love these, and to be honest a few stone chips would look better than the bra. Lovely little cars might have one at some stage if funds ever allow.

Same here. Nicely aged car, still looks fresh. I see one or two of them now and again, seem to be quite popular & hold their prices pretty well.
