  1. Bumber, indicators, grille..those parts are from Lupo 3l and mine is older lupo.. basically i facelifted it
  2. I dont know how long springs you have.. but when i got Vmaxx coilovers, the rear springs were about 200mm long(i dont remember exactly) so i think that those are shorter.. you just have to notice that those are also stiffer.. measure how long your springs are when car is on ground, after that its easier to search newones.. I think i have back in the days 120mm/8kg springs..
  3. You can buy replacement springs, bc-racing make those.. http://www.bc-racing.co.uk/springs/bc-8kg-barrell-spring-62-135-8-s.htmlthere is also shorter, but i think that 8kg is good..
  4. Okay then! I made the debdged 3l front conversion and im happy with the result.. also get new flares to front, same as the rear. Also colorcoded flares to match the car and i think it looks better like that. And what comes to those flares.. many people wants to know where to get those etc.. there were nobody to ask when i was looking them. These are my third flares and now im pretty happy how they look! I can give a hint about those flares... toyota starlet
  5. Its a lupo oem bumper with mk5 gti golf front lip.. plastic welded together.. allready crashed it so i will maybe do the 3l frontend.
  6. Finally get my summerwheels on this weekend?
  7. At this point i dont have any indicators at front.. but there will be some small motorcycle indicators.
  8. And so the story keeps going.. new color, new bumpers, sideskirts, smoothed indicators, new color at the wheels.. summer is coming and my car is allmost redy, im happy ?
  9. How much for the drivers side headlight, posted?
  10. Cutted it half and added the gti golf rear bumper lowersection on it.. plastic welding, sanding etc.
  11. This is how the rear bumper looks now after primer..
  12. Yep, its a mix of normal lupo rear bumper and mk5 golf gti rear bumper.. it looks a little strange on the photo, should take newones now after its primed.
  13. a little update for the topic. Allkind bigger and smaller have happened. The car is now on air, by Airlift parts on front and Ss-5 rear bags. The car will be re-painted again with new color. i have made some mods for the front and rear bumper, also there will be custom made sideskirts. I have the parts for the skirts they only need to weld in.. Wheels will be the same but in different color. And some crappy fotos.. Also interior have had some slight mods, but dont have any decent photos..
  14. Okay.. something is happened since last photos.. so here's some new photos Rim specs. Compomotive cx500 3pcs. front 8.5"x15" offset 28 with 185/45 tyres and rear 9.5"x15" offset 2 with 195/45 tyres.
  15. Check out the tyrestretch.com. maybe 165/50 or 165/45 to the 7j and 185/45 for the 8j..
  16. I think that if you had just lowered you car the arb will hit frame on bumbs.. But when you go really low the sound would end because then the front lays on the arb. And when its laying on it, the handling is poor and the whole front is bouncing on every bumb! So lower your car more and take it off, thats what i did
  17. You should take it off, the handling will get better!
  18. The easiest way isnt allways the best.. its just what you are ready to do to make them fit
  19. Mitä hittoa en tiennytkään et sul on täälläkin topicci But you know what i think of your Lupo...its awesome, hope to see it rolling some day and those schmidt wheels are beautiful!
  20. Here in finland it is possible to buy only the cover for the mk4 golf steering wheel.. so that could mean that its possible to take them apart(cover+airbag) But i have the wheel now so i just have to check it out does it fit..
  21. They will fit easily. i would go 8" wide on every corner. But if you wanna go low you maybe need to roll your arches...
  22. Yeah i noticed that your ebay link... im not interested to buy them now, maybe never... i just wanna always know where people have buy some stuff that i havent see before Im more interested that how did you do those new side panels using the gti parts? Just cutted out the old panels and fitted those gti panels? photos? Thats something what i have planned to do some day;)
  23. Where can i find those votex side skirts?
  24. Love the color of gtd! What are those sideskirts on it?!?
  25. 165/45 or 165/50 for 7j wide rims.. i had 165/45 nankangs on 7j wide rims and had no broblems..
