No they are 15" sorry -
Will these rub? They are 7" alloys lupo is lowered on TA Technix pretty much all the way to the bottom.
-
Are your TA's all the way down on the front and back? Just about to order some myself and trying to get a idea of what height to go to. Looks like it will be all the way down to the bottom for me

Don't get me wrong, I don't want to make it look like GTI, In actual fact I have been removing the 16v badges to make the front look cleaner.
-
It is glued on with some sort of adhesive so no clips at all.

I have just been playing with the idea of putting a red GTI grille trim on a 1.4 sport. I know the grille's are differently shaped so it will be no straight forward fit and it is not flush so it might look a bit tacky? Anyone done this or can think of a way to do it like buying a new grille?

All done- Black Sport back on the road!

Can someone spill the beans on what make the wheels are? -
If anyone could add some pics along with it that would be nice

I have just got myself a Lupo 100hp as a daily driver. It looks waaaay to high IMO, so I was thinking of lowering it a bit but it needs to be sensible. Here it is at the min... Everything is standard and has the standard 100hp/sport wheels and tyres (don't know the size and offset but someone on here must?) How much do you think I could lower it by just using aftermarket springs but without damaging my shocks? What is the general limit? Or is it best to pay that bit more for some ~£200 coilovers? Also would it be a good idea to buy some spacers for the back? about 15-20mm? Thanks guys and gals

HA, lol. I can assure you I defo did not put that there myself, honestly! Changed it now so I don't get arrested.

Hello, I'm James Just got myself a 100hp Lupo and already want to do something to it. It seems to sit really high of the ground for my liking. I am looking to lower it but it needs to be "sensible" so will be able to scale speed humps as it is a daily driver. Whats the best option to take? I think its probably new coilovers but I don't want to spend a huge amount, around £200. Is there any out there people can recommend. I know the more you pay the better you get but I am pouring all my money into my weekend car at the min. I have got the standard sport wheels (I have no idea what size, offset etc) but I have been looking at some TA-Technix Coilovers. Do you think they will do the job? Also I was going to get some small spacers on the back to push the wheel to the edge of the arch. What is a good size? About 15mm? Thanks for your help in advance guy and girls.

I just bought a 1.4 sport myself. They have the centre exhaust and lower spot lights on the front bumper.

A few days ago I look at the dipstick in the engine bay and there is not a reading, I left it overnight and the next morning I took another look and then the dipstick gave me a reading half way up the dipstick. Then again today I looked and I can't get a reading. I have not got any warning lights or oil lights at all. Anyone got any ideas about what it is or what I should do. I am just about to nip out to get some oil to try and top it up to get a reading but I would have thought the oil light would have come on? Thanks

Do you have any trouble with those number plates? They look a lot better than the crappy british ones.

Hello Guys, I'm just about to buy a lupo 1.4L Sport 16v and been looking around for cheap insurance. Considering I am 17 anyone know of a company that offers cheap and good service. The best quote I have got at the minute is £700 as a named driver, fully comp. Anyone think I can get a better deal out there on my own policy? I'm quite happy to pay £1K if its on my own policy but I am not to bothered about no claims bonus as I am off to uni in a year. Thanks in advance.
