After trying to nick a grape which turned out to be plastic, Andi was approached by the cat. border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" />We went for a drive round the local cruise, shame about the rain! we might have spotted a few more chavs... border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" />Id just like to say thanks for a good day lads!

Jabo Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 Bl00dy H331!!Is it driveable at all??? How do you go over speed bumpS? THere isn't even a half os inch clearance there!He he he, that's called really ultra! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1 Lupo Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 Its driveable, the fun part was getting the car off Max's drive as the exhaust was on the floor before getting to the lip of the drive. Its how VW should have made the Lupo! Extra low as standard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigz™ Posted October 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 Oh and I forgot to add, this is still my daily driver!Managed to get over speed bups alright, once the side pipe has gone I'll have no real problems to speak of with clearance.

Snoopy Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 Looks awesome - not something I'd do (would prefer handling, not to mention the ability to drive over `extra-thick` road markings style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />), but really really amazing - great job!Just make sure you avoid roadkill style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigz™ Posted October 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 Thanks Snoop.I was expecting to have to raise it after a couple of weeks of `low-riding`, but untill the snow comes I dont think I'll need to.It handles so well, no better than if it was only dropped to 50mm but I would say its not any worse either.Tim not yet mate, Im gonna call them when I finish work, worst thing that will happen I may need to get an independant ispection done, but I cant see it being a problem.
