Well hydraulics are nearly here! Dropping off tomorrow! In the meantime, got a new camera lens for my birthday and went for a play! But got beached!

Well the countdown for hydro's is nearly over! She gets dropped off this saturday, to be picked up the weekend after! Soon to be Practical and decked, pictures will be on here as soon as I get her back!

Not a lupo, but ive just bought a motorbike, its registered in 1982, but they didnt make the bike until 1986, any ideas what i can do? The insurance company dont recognise the registration of the bike...

21mm spark plug socket works for that nut! Thats what i used for mine, that with a spanner on it with a long reach allen key socket to hold the strut!

Erm pass on the spoiler, it was on when i bought her, sorry! And yeah big plans! It was just gunna be a simple car when i bought her, but ive decided to kick it up a notch when i got my pay rise, make her a right daily show car!

Not alot happening really until 3 weeks time when she goes away for hydro's! Passed her MOT tuesday with no advisories though!

Well, due to being an absolute ****wit, i ddnt get my tracking after fitting the coilies and my front 2 tyres ended up like this in 3 weeks! So, £98 and a week of waiting for tyres to arrive later i have some new ones! Fitted a lot easier this time now as well, well chuffed! Now time to get back to driving her!

I used a spark plug socket that had a hexagon shaped top and undid it with a spanner and had a long reach allen key socket to hold the strut

Thanks Koop! Yeah i got a pay rise at work amd ive had enough of scraping everywhere! Practicalities!

Old coilies combined with an already blown shock and **** roads I think! Wasn't gunna change 'em as im booked in for hydros, but once the spring snapped I was sitting about 2 inches lower that corner and driveshafts were knocking over every bump!

Yeah bloody thing! Meh ahwell, touched it up sp no rust and it'll be sorted once the hydro's are paid for! Got sick of scraping everywhere!

I figured I'd best get one of these started seeing as I've had the lupo for nearly 2 years now! bought her back in september 2011, already lowered with sport wheels, tinted windows and a spoiler, pics below shortly after I got some Lenso BSX's (yeah fake splits I know) and got these on. Had to raise her a little bit due to un-rolled arches and lots of scrubbing Also got my boot build done while I was waiting for the wheels! then while prepping for players last year, this happened, bloody VW jacks after this came arch rolling, tyre stretch and more lows and also a bike rack! and then this happened, so off they went and on came some new ones! and this is her today, all shiny-ish next plans are: smooth front bumper change wheels (got an idea in my head at the moment) get small dent sorted drop her off to Rayvern at the end of august to have my hydraulics fitted so yeah there's my lupo!

I think it just does it when the service interval is meant to come up, did you get it serviced at like 59k and its now 60k? Mine did this but i had it serviced at 54k and the light came on at 60k

I bought some of the halfords all weather upgrade bulbs and they're fairly yellowish, well they light the road up yellow anyway!

Indeed koop is right!

Nah they're mini 7 spokes, similar to what aaron on here's just fitted, thanks for the heads up in spacers though! Ill have to get me some!

Ah thanks guys! Now looking at some 16x6.5's et48 so shouldnt be a worry with arches!

Cheers mate! Must say i do like, will look better all tucked up in the arch

Oh and can i also get one with the wheels anthracite? Thanks in advance!

Can someone please photoshop these wheels onto my car?

I'm looking at getting some new wheels, they're 5x100 16x 6.5j et 38, with 15mm adapters this goes to et23? How will these fit? Will they be alright?

You'll get mega rubbing issues with them, mine rubs over big bumps 7j et20

Yeah i managed now! With a little help from the girlfriend! Cheers!

I've bought a new centre dash piece to do an iphone dock install, but i can't work out how to pop the back bit off to get to the vents, i can see the 4 clips but can't work out how to get it off, anyone know?
