I've owned these wheels since September 2015 & they have covered about 2,000 miles, condition is 99.5% perfect. No curbing or marks on any wheel at all, tyres are all puncture plug free too. Fitted with Goodyear F1 Asymmetrical tyres 235/35 19", 3 tyres have tread as per picture, 1 was new at time of fitting tyres 2k ago. I still have the Rotiform boxes the wheels arrived in & these are part of the sale if you want them. I'm looking for around £1,000 inc tyres buyer to collect, payment by cash on collection, no swaps or trades, just cash . (I'm getting Married & have pointless things to pay for, hence the sale) I'm based in North Nottinghamshire, M1 J26/27 area. So you can see how they look on a rocco (the car isn't part of the deal btw)

Now sold

If the ring is on the inside of the spider, unbolt it & put it on the outside, in place of the original big ring.

I passed a nice Clean looking standard silver GTI being driven by a dark haired young lady this morning between J25-26 M1 north bound. It's the only other silver gti I've seen on my daily commute & it made me smile

I tried black wow & didn't really rate it that much.

Me too

Do i need any special tools to replace a rear shock ? Or is it just jack up, unbolt, remove & replace ?
-
I had a sit in one at the gadget show, not sure what spec it was but it was quite nice inside, an evolution of the lupo in many ways. It's seats we're like tombstones too. But my girlfriend said it looked gay :-(

Recommended wax for soft blue lupo?

I've tried jet seal , it was ok but I wouldn't say it was as good as Z2 or Z5 -

What he said ^^ I've used lots of different waxes & none can compare to the finish Zaino leaves & how long it lasts, here's mine done with zaino http://forums.clublupo.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=86063 -
I passed you as you were going towards the town nr Tesco, gave you the "nod" of appreciation Looked quite nice & low, red leather interior ?

I was in derby last Saturday , coming out of alvaston park, I noticed a slammed green lupo coming along the road

Passed a nice looking black gti on the M42 today. Gave you a wave as I shot by, sorry I was going a bit fast, i late for a train at tamworth

I had a 2003 pd150 golf from new & jabba mapped its @ 58k, it's now @152k, no cam issues, using the right oil is key to a long life. They have a much bigger front mounted inter cooler than the small side mounted 130 version. In a Lupo it would be nuts !!!
-
yea, it was a bit, £400 fitted inc new brake fluid, but I'm up/down the M1 every day & need to stop fast sometimes due to the idiots who also use it. Also when I come to sell her in the summer I dont want somebody trying to knock money off as I had none OE disc's fitted to save £20. You'd be supprised how little difference there is in the pricing.
-
Aside the caliper, Part of my problem was the wrong discs had been fitted or skimmed too much as they were only 18mm thick !! So, 4 discs, pads & a new calliper later, I'm back running. All the parts fitted were genuine vw, no pattern crap. The front disc fitted are totally different to those that were on it, vented hubs now too.
-
Cheers peeps Doubt it, I'm in Leicester
-
Garaged overnight, yet it was still -3 in there :-(
-
Got mine sorted, new caliper did the trick. But as the discs were almost down to minimum thickness, I had new discs fitted too.
-
Do you have any pics after a few thousand miles & brake dust ?
-
Funny that, mines booked in Wednesday for a similar problem
-
I was referring to the wing when I referred to it being tidy once, it looked nice & low. Nice tyre screech out the lights btw
-
Found myself behind what could have been a tidy GTI once Mk5 flip badge handle on the boot, but looked to have been a smash up front, wing was a bit mashed
