GtiJames Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 There is a lot of choice with alloys, but the thing is, u cant buy them then take them back if "they dont look right" so they have to be practically perfect lolIm sure someone on here will be able 2 photoshop u a few images with some different wheels on if u ask nicely lol. Im thinkin of Keskin KT4's for mine... well sexy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xbabygx Posted November 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 would be handy if someone could do that, altho, i have photoshop at home, but can't always be bothered to sit there playin with it lol its like a "try before you buy" lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupo_1.0 Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 howdy. i vote dont be a sheep and if you like them alloys in the link then get them. think outside the box, at the end of the day its your money and your car. i think them alloys could work as it goes good to see something a little different once in a while. check rota alloys too, they seem to make a wide set of different stuff.oh yer and welcome along lol.

xbabygx Posted November 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 buying springs will only be a temp thing until i can afford coilover, people will say "whats the point its a waste of money" but i'm tired of having a standard car, i'm being a little bit impatient, and for the fact i know i wont be able to afford coilovers for a good few months yet, i just want something temp to keep me going lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyp Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 you can always sell the springs afterwards, all depends on how low you want to run really. Simple and suttle on loops, too muxh and they look nasty, oh and please dont put lexus lights on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xbabygx Posted November 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 its the small things that make the big difference!!! No way, i wasn't going to, how can i put this nicely, they're not my cup of tea lol i like the standard ones i have. But others may like them, its personal preference like i said before, what one person hates, another likes, if you have them then fair play, it's your Lupo, can modd it how you like :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xbabygx Posted November 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 I think i may have offended people in my last post .... if i did .... sorry!just an update, after managing to scratch my bumper at the weekend :( (not too bad damage), i ordered my springs so they should be here today or tomorro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niche Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 You should get some shocks too. Springs will lower your centre of gravity and improve the handling on most factory cars but the main reason why Lupo's feel like a boat is because of the shocks.I had KYB gas shocks put on the front of my car with the standard springs and I was able to take my local roundabout about 10mph faster. There was no more boat-like feeling when cruising on the motorway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyp Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 better off saving up for a set of coilovers if you want the whole package. springs can be a temp thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
