    this link is a clip with a clio sport on 3 set's of tyres, give's people the results of why to pay for the better tyreok great, the last thing i want to do is roll the arches so perfect.. dont suppose when they sent you the spacers did they contain the actual dimenstions? Yeah we should, could also be called "OEM + the right way" thanks mate, yeah ive read so much about these it seem's to be a must have

    oh custom sounds pricey, im looking at the ashley of a 1.4 sport. read up and apparantley it fits. i went for the wrong coilovers fk, just wanted a set ready. kw are far to expensive and i should of bought ap but i will do once im home and back in work. cheers silver well looks like 17mm is the best option, it doesn't say online but do they come as a pair or a set of 4? i only want to space out the rear. avons are nice tyres, made by cooper i think. vredestien are what i would like but i find toyo are just as good

    im not sure what tyres your looking at but i would reconmend toyo's, had them on my polo gti and made such a difference without the price of conti's. pretty much the same, been looking at 4 branch manifolds and decat, keep the standard back box as im not after a loud system. what exhaust you looking at? also just get a bmc air filter and a whiteline rear arb, ive got coilovers waiting but reluctant to spend the money for the rest as i still haven't driven the car.

    happy days, im not a fan of rear passangers if it did anyway. what have you got planned for yours next?
  14. T5OPY

    My Lupo GTi

    cheers mate. yeah ive already spotted yours, looks really clean. yours had made me think about keeping the standard wheels now. but with your spacers on the rear wheels, now that you took the rear adjusters out do the wheels rub at all?
  15. Hey guys, i joined this site about a month ago. currently in Australia but bought a Lupo GTi ready for when i get home on the 26th september. heres a few photos of how it looks, already have a few parts waiting that i will be fitting as soon as i get home. Even have a RR from a few years back, wouldn't mind seeing how far off that would be now.

    Manifolds

    well after a couple of hours research i now know i can use the ashley 1.4 manifold and decat so happy days
  17. T5OPY

    Manifolds

    is there any where else? was hoping for a different set up, ie 4-1 manifold including down pipe with a single pipe de-cat

    Manifolds

    have you found a place that sells an ashley manifold? i'm looking to buy one but cant find any. not even ashley stock them for a gti only for a 1.4

    Bek's Lupo

    fair play you got a really clean car there, paint work looks in great condition... loving the polo g40 in the garage too
  20. no probs let me know how you get on
  21. ah right, i would just give the exhaust a shake and see if its lose or if anythings hanging down. if nothing park your car on a flat and see if it leans to the one side then you'll know if the spring has snapped.
