  1. Compomotive do a very similar looking wheel

    Ats Classics

    Serious?? There are a few lupos on classics. How many wheels have you been looking at? Do some reading in the readers rides threads and see what fitments offsets widths etc work on lupos.
  3. You can just tell that they are fakes from a mile off to be fair The bolts, the shape of the spokes, centre cap design, quality etc. Oh and for £500 you can get a set of decent RM's, or a set of decent quality wheels with tyres - Borbets, schmidts, ronal
  4. No. Will poke a mile on the front
  5. I still think they look too big. Props for getting it sitting how it is though. I think 14-16" is a good sixpence for the lupos 17's take a lot of work (as jjjjjjkkkkkk's thread shows) to simply fit let alone sit right
  6. 16's are a doddle to get to fit - and fit well at that. 15's look good too and are what I ran on my lupo. Oh 17's are too big
  7. Please say they are genuine borbets, love silver on silver
  8. Got a bargain there, especially if they are the real deal. When I had my Borbets I paid about £90 for the set and then all the locking bolts an key too
  9. been on holiday for two weeks and all these updates happen xenons are one of the best upgrades to standard lupos.
  10. be prepared to pay £100 new or used - i know the borbet a's a re back being made new by popular demand. they are worth it though oh and dont buy the nasty plastic ones off ebay
  11. Starmags 2-300 depending on condition. Can still buy new ones from the classic mini places I don't see the fascination with banded steels they are still just steels even if they are a little wider and have a lairy paint job
  12. Hold out for what you want for it. There will be someone who will see it as the ideal car, may just take a while for them to spot it! A good low mileage sport would fetch 2500 ish tops. Unfortunately I don't think many people looking at the lupo would see the LPG as a selling point - buyers being new drivers etc. At least there is substance for the price, not like the normal 1.0l cars up for mad prices because they have been cleaned a bit.
  13. Yep used them a few times, always the cheapest, quick delivery had no issues. Oh and if you use quidco as well you get cash back!
  14. Sounds like it wasn't sealed properly if the tyre was going down. If it is driven when low pressure it will be more likely to come off the bead than a non stretched tyre. I would take it to a tyre place and get them to reseal it onto the wheel - but check the bead for damage (on the wheel and tyre).
  15. I was riding shotgun. I cant remember seeing anyone - may have been singing along to the radio, badly
  16. I wouldn't be paying that much for a 1L, you can get a good sport for that.
  17. New paint is soft for a while before it fully hardens
  18. Needs a new tailgate (or glass at least) as the elements aren't all working. So going to get a plain boot and an anni or r32 spoiler as they flow better. Can't remove this one, they are bonded on tight and have metal pins holding it on!
  19. I have taken the adjusters out of the rear completely. I had when It was on the advans too but never put a pic up I don't think! Just need to roll the front arches and cut the arch liners and then it will be going back down
  20. Cheers Will post the pics this page too for those who don't want to go back a page!
  21. They are on: Had to raise the front a touch because they were catching on the arches. Will get them rolled and then will be going back down! Really pleased with them
  22. Really!? Car looks great, love the shape of these look so cool with the works kit
