Such a stunning car, have you thought about changing the coolant expansion bottle for a new one? I only say this because i replaced mine in my 06 Ibiza Cupra and it made a surprising difference topped up with fresh G13

Thanks mate, it is actually something on my list to do! I know it makes a big difference with a fresh bottle, recently changed one on my brothers car :)

I didn't think i'd ever put these up for sale but the time has come. These are mega rare in 15".

They are in good condition, a few chips on the paint here and there, nothing major. Dishes are in good condition. Tyres are Bridgestone Potenza's 165/55 with around 5mm tread.

Specs are:

15"
4x100
7J 
ET12
CB 57.1

 

Price is £650, can ship for extra.

No good update on this as it has been sat like this for the last 2 months. I thought i'd refresh all of the suspension components to OEM bushes as well as changing every nut and bolt to new ones. I ordered two new ball joints to be told one was on back order and could take up to a week. A week went by and to then be told the ETA is 28th December. I ordered it on 20th October. I then got told today that the date has changed to 'unspecified date'. Great, so it will continue to sit like this till it arrives??

A few new updates. The Lupo has had a full refresh underneath, every single bush has been replaced with new OEM. Decided it was time to get rid of the AP's for something better, went for BC Racing coilovers and I am so glad I did. Mega impressed with the way these ride and handle! Also decided i fancied some harnesses so got myself a harness bar and a set of OMP harnesses. I think they go really well with the Recaro's. Also fancied a bit more noise so I had a custom decat fitted. A couple of pictures and video below??
