robs red lupo

Cant find him on this site but his name is MARTYN RIMMER from tamworth, staffs a VW buff. Been to his bank today and also the police who reckon there is a case to answer so Mr RIMMER if you are reading these messages you will be getting a knock on your door from the Staffodshire constabulary and i have been given a number for the frawd team who will be investigating you very soon.

That was the most constructive reply ive had yet, i will go to his bank later today and have a word with them about the situation. I have kept all the msgs we have sent to each other and i have an adress for him which does coincide with the one on the electoral roll, i cant beleive someone would try this on when i have his details, i hope somet has gone wrong and i do get my coilovers as £75 is a lot of money for me to loss. Thank you for your advice i appreciate it and will keep all informed. Regards Rob.

What is a chargeback??

yes he is ignoring me he has my tel nmbr i also sent a msg to his wife and she blocked me as well, i just hope somet has went wrong and i get my coilovers as £75 is a lot of money to me now, but i think my money has gone..i put cash into his account not a transfer from my bank. I will see if they arrive tmr and if not go to the bank and police. Thank you for the replies. Regards Rob.

he answered a ad i had on looking for some lupo coilovers and agreed on a price delivered, he gave me his bank details so i went to the local one and put the money into his account and got a rcpt, on monday, he msgd me saying the courier had collected them on wed and would be here on fri 48hrs, i msgd him late on fri saying they neve arrived so he said he would contact the courier and get back to me, he did saying there was traffic problems but would def be there by ten on sat morning, they never arrived so i contacted him and he said he would get write onto them, i asked for the couriers info and he did not answer then he blocked me from mailing him and deleted his account from fcbk. I did check his profile on fcbk and he had pictures of his family and cars so thought he must be genuine. how wrong was i... PS i have kept all of the correspondance we had..

Beware of MARTYN RIMMER he took my money and ran, deleted his facebook account so no one can contact him, anyone know of him??

Third lupo and just wondering what size alloys 13/14/15s getting coilovers so looking for advice please.Rob.

I am due some money in the next fortnite, if you still have it i will be down with cash, Rob.

adaptors are easy to fit, my wife done mine inbetween hoovering and making my dinner lol! wheels off bolt on adaptor with 4 allen bolts and bolt wheels back on, it took her 4 mins flat (i timed her while havin a coffee (ONLY JOKING GIRLS) may drop slightly on front, thank you for comments Mark, keep em comin

As my profile says rich i am an old man but still have the mind of a teenager lol. I actually heated them a little bit at a time and lightly tapped them slowly with a nylon hammer and nearly got them as flat as rolling them, the wheels only catch very slightly with the car fully laden over speed humps so may get about 3/5mm machined off them!

Hi Rich, could not resist them mate when i seen them and really happy with them, i think Tod is also happy i think they will suit his blue gti, has he decided to have them stripped and highly polished like that posh set you had? lol. Managed to do my arches as well took me about an hour on each to make sure they did not damage the paint, thanks for the comments and regards to (YOUNG TOD).

Thank you for the nice comments guy's, i have thought about dropping it another 10mm at the front but the back wont go down any lower without modding the springs which i dont really want to do. The coilovers are the ones for sale through the site they are T,A i think and would recomend them highly especially if you are on a budget. Next thing is to do the roof black, colour code the bottom of the bumpers, fit a gti roof spoiler which will also be black and maybe fit a momo steering wheel, does not sound expensive if you say it fast lol. ROB.

Pics of my loop with new coilovers and teledials, will get proper pics when this bloody rain stops 100mm drop at front & adjusters on back taken out.

£80 to fit them! it should take 2hrs if the garage has a ramp so that works out at £40 a hour, a bit greedy if you ask me and it is not a difficult job to do if you are any good with minimal tools around 4hrs tops. The only thing to watch is setting the camber, there is a thread on here by ops that shows how to fit them! good luck!
