I think Lupos look great modified. It's not the kind of car I think I'd own, but I still like seeing them low on rims.

I drive my sisters little 1.0 one on occasion and they really are great little cars. Even the 1.0 is nippy around town and doesn't mind being flung around a bit. Plus they're so basic it's almost like driving an older car.

it might look cool with a mk1 front bonnet and grill/bumper grafted on if it was done right.

Lad at work has a nice example though the only pic I have of it is so poor it's not worth searching for. Reminds me, heard about a cheap one a few days back that needs chasing up  If you can find one cheap they're worth grabbing even if it's just to flog on, never known a car hold it's value as well as these do. |

I've just got a lupo gti as a daily and it's absolutely awesome. In some ways it's how a classic mini would have been if they had developed it further. Anyway, here is mine. 125 bhp 975kg 6 speed box 40-45mpg! VW Build quality and despite its tiny size, fits 4 adults quite easily. Boot is small though! Apologies for Iphone picture!  |

Lupos are cool out (I bought the cheaper Arosa but I'd prefer the round lights of the Lupo). Here's a quick sketch of an idea I had for one:  |

I worked on the prototype for the Lupo Sport which was supposed to have all sorts of goodies. But it was odd that in Wolfsburg, Germany, I had to write against my time sheets the code name for it..."Mini Cooper"!! All round the studio were pictures of real Mini-Coopers, not those fat Escort-sized lumps, but Monte winners. Yet BMW had already announced their Mini. No secret that VW HATE BMW, because they can't buy it! I did a carbon fibre steering wheel for it amongst other things. Still got the first CF spokes I made! Still have to ask...how the hell do you drive a car with two inches ground clearance?  And don't say "carefully". sixlover |
