Check out the 'Citi' model (red mk1) and go to the 360deg view then onto the interior.

Quite a few bits off the lupo in that. wheels ,steering wheel etc

I want one, prices range from £5K-£7K.

Funny how some of these types of country still have a market for older cars - it's not like they're that cheap though!

They are just releasing something here called the Citi-R, 1.8 fully injected detuned polo motor..selling for R110 000 (not sure what that is in pounds) but thats a shite load of money here for such a basic car

5k - 7k for a rand new car doesn't seem like much to us, but in other countries, it's harder for them to get the money as it's based on the currency etc so in SA 5 - 7k would be quite a lot for a new car

for £5k to £7k, I could buy an original decent nick 3 door mk1 GTi and stick a lupo dash in it, set of lupo rims, a mk2 front end and STILL have enough cash for a G60 conversion!
