  1. Not after the classy look, just thought you don't see many of these sets of wheels around, most of the ups are on wheeltrims or the other wheels
  2. Just wanted something a bit more special Yeah I bet that looks cool, I think it's a good upgrade!
  3. Went to adjust the coilovers today and they're fully seized, I guess I mustn't be strong enough..... Covered in WD40 and went in with a wire brush, but still no budge. It also seems the lower cup is smaller and my C spanner doesn't grip it.... Pretty disappointing. But here how it's looking on the UP! Wheels, got plenty of room to come down all round too!
  4. Apparently the car melted a wire which caused it not to start, quick fix fortunately. And then after a long search on the interwebs, managed to find a set of these. Test fitting tomorrow, well happy.
  5. As titled, ideally standard colour with tyres, but open to see what you have based in Edinburgh, but have family in Wiltshire so nationwide I could come collect thanks, Alex
  6. Looks great on them wheels! This is looking cool!
  7. So I was driving home from work today and noticed the engine light was flashing and it was missing and felt underpowered before it come to a complete stop. Popped the bonnet and noticed that one of the coil packs was melted and it stank of plastic burning. Read that cheap ones aren't that great and they were budget ones installed so I bought 3 more Bosch ones (one was already Bosch) and installed and still didn't start. Luckily I broke down right opposite a garage who plugged it in to see no fault codes. Let them take it from there as I'm no mechanic! But I did swap my wheels for some BBS RX2's with some cash my way (currently broke!) Haven't had a chance to see if they scrub or anything as the car doesn't start, will try get a nice height with the 195's! Hopefully will get it back Monday!
  8. Yeah that would be a good idea, the tyres are all wrong. But because i'm broke i'm looking for some swaps and cash my way to keep me going (just started new job) and came across some Rota Zero's with Toyo Proxes 15x7 <3 But does look really sweet on the Borbet's
  9. So now I am torn between going low and "stancing" on the Borbet's or going more practical and getting some 7j 195's and having some better handling. Tough decisions, especially when on a budget ? Will keep ya'll posted!
  10. Good evening! I've been thinking about changing the wheels on my Loop for something with little to no stretch. I currently have 7j+8j wheels on 165's and I think I fancy a change to something which will ride the road better. I appreciate it's no supercar, but feel like I should make the most of having coilovers to better my grip than be silly low. Just wondering what people fit to their performance lupo's tyre and wheel wise, without too much archwork? thanks for reading!
  11. Hey guys! So, I returned to the UK after four years overseas and bought my parents Lupo off them. They've had it since it was 7000miles old so I know it's been looked after. 1.4 8v currently with 75k miles on it. My dad also put some coilovers and teardrops on it. Once upon a time, the Teardrops were mirror polished, however they weren't lacquered or kept clean. How it looked when I got it: Then I picked up a set of Borbet A's - 165/45/15 7's on the front and 165/50/15 8's on the back. Unfortunately still haven't gotten around to adjusting the ride height. Ideally want the front to come down a bit and the rear (once the arches are rolled). Came off a Lupo so I knew the fitment was pretty sweet! Since then I have moved up to Edinburgh, where the roads are absolutely atrocious. Got a set of Cambridge Edition lights and gave her a good polish and wax on Sunday. More to come in the near future, need to get them savings going!!
  12. 4x 175/65/14's Avon ZT5 2 of which are almost brand new 1 is legal with a few mm of tread and one needs replacing as there is some inner-wear The alloys are all straight, just came off my Lupo. They were mirror polished but didn't lacquer them so they've been eaten away, definitely due a refurb. But can look good either sprayed up or polished. come with all flat 'Volkswagen' centrecaps with screws £125 ovno Pick up from Melksham Wiltshire
  13. wheels and tyres gone? very interested
  14. Hello there! Got a set of the "rarer" ATS cups which are 15" and "5.5J" wide. Never fitted these, just sat in the garage. Still in original finish, with some lacquer peel and kurbing. Will put some photos up if interest Pick up in Wiltshire £150 ono
