  1. On a different note, nice yard (:
  2. I've been emailing a person from Jackson Tuning and he couldn't be more helpful. He can get me the parts i need but if i can get him some pictures he's going to try and blag me some if its a coilover fault. I hope so, i love this little lupo! I'm hoping to get out and go to some local meets soon (:
  3. I used to coilover thread on here find a uk distributer. Coming from germany. Right at this moment im so angry with my stupidity for buying this car that id swap it for a bag of jelly babies.
  4. Ive just got this text. I don't understand what platform and lock rings are. Can anyone help? Jess car needs platform and lock rings on front shock absorbers as broken and just collapsed in workshop good job no one driving on road they r TA Technics coil over kits to convert back to original would cost 250 for parts alone so need to find lock rings etc on e bay or TA technics web site if there is one need two of each part cheers Martin you cannot drive this until its done sorry.
  5. I havent spoken to him since but i hope its something as simple as you say. I havent actually spoken to him yet but my partner is saying all sorts of things like shock bolts, coilover bolts and springs i have to look for. Its my partners father and he does the work for free so i can't rightly moan about how long it takes, but i just want to drive the car!
  6. Someones clearly had fun with it then. Mechanic put it on the ramp today. Adjustable coilovers on every wheel. But called earlier to say that in one of them an important bolt has been shorn and has split. He asked me to look for coilover nuts and bolts but i have no idea what im looking for ): why couldnt i have bought something standard!
  7. Thanks lads. Big help, I was wondering why people were biting my hand off for a swap with the ripspeed alloys lol. Another one for you. I got all excited as soon as i bought it, scoured these pages for little mods to make it look nicer like taking the bumpers off and lowering but it seems its already been done! A standard lupo certainly doesnt look anything like this. What other mods can your expert eyes see. Im pretty sure its lowered too. I bought last week and has since been in the mechanics so only pics from the ad.
  8. .Some GTI wheels (resprayed orange and black) .£100 cash for all 4 .And another brand of wheels i honestly cant remember but i wanna say ripspeed. They look scuffed to me, but i cleaned them up and they came out lovely and smooth, scuffs still there. Someone may have stickerbombed previously as theres residue. Any idea on the bolt caps? Or the proper word so i can google them? There one missing on the right of that photo
  9. Im not very knowledgeable with wheels but my new lupo has come with these. I've been offered quite a few swaps by friends but i'd rather know what they are first. They say ATS in the center. Also, a few of the 'bolt caps' probably a non-existant word but the shiny caps that cover the wheel bolts are gone on each wheel. where can i buy replacements? Many thanks!
  10. Possibly mine, although it wasn't mine at the time it's the only one i've ever seen in Colchester.
  11. Hey, So I raided the local scrappy for an airbox. In heels. Naturally the only Lupo they had was on top of a golf and would the lovely men give me a hand getting it out? Would they buggery. Extra proud of myself for getting the whole airbox and only snapping one screw. Anywayy, so I took off the oversized K&N filter and put on the airbox. Started it up and it still doesn't tick over correctly. Next step is the mechanic was suppose to pick it up an hour ago to get the throttle off, cleaned and adjusted and hopefully it will work! Here's a pic before the airbox. Looks like something is missing from the engine to me but i'm no expert.
  12. Hey, I'm new too! I think a complementary pic of your lupo would be nice
  13. Hey everyone! I'm Jess. I got bored of my little first car pug so i thought i'd go out and view something I've always wanted. A little yellow Lupo! Saw it today, and i'm not a car person but its definitely missing some engine parts. It doesn't tick over properly, and will stall when you come to a stop. Apart from that it's a tidy little motor! Let me know what you think! I'll post a pic of the engine bay tomorrow when it arrives. Half the cooling system isn't there but hopefully you guys can give me a hand finding out whats missing!
