James_gti Posted October 2, 2016 Report Share Posted October 2, 2016 Hi everyone and welcome I finally bought a Lupo gti I've wanted one ever since I had my 1.0 Cambridge edition Lupo as a first car I've always loved low cars so I thought I'd give it a go here's how I got it.

666DUB Posted October 3, 2016 Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 Very nice, is it a Japanese import, i think those yellow shutters in background are a giveaway . Performance point in Bristol ? they import some very nice Lupos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James_gti Posted October 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 As soon as picked it up I was looking into lowering the loop it was already on KW coilovers, I decided that coilover weren't going to give me the lows I was after, so after I had my chassis notch done I looked into getting bags.

James_gti Posted October 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 I couldn't find anything on what bags or struts to use for the Lupo as I could find anything listed to fit, I finally came across a thread on here saying that the airlift performance slam series struts for a mk2 golf fitted, so I when ahead and ordered them and fire stone ultra low bags for the rear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James_gti Posted October 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 I got round to fitting the airride the same week, standard wheels look pretty cool imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James_gti Posted October 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 Had some banded g60 steels laying around so I did a test fit and gave it a clean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James_gti Posted October 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 I'm not gonna lie i wasn't happy with the g60's or the lows, next on the list was to find a set of wheels that are different and roll the arches. i came across a set of Rotiform idk that pop up for sale so I had to buy them, I didn't like the colour but that wasn't a problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James_gti Posted October 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 The next day I test fitted the new wheels still havnt rolled the arches at this point so it still to high on the rear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James_gti Posted October 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 Finally got round to rolling the arches and got the lows I wanted At this point I needed the wheels painted a different colour i also took the Lupo to Early edition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James_gti Posted October 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 The next show was slammed Uk Gravity show the Lupo got accepted for show and shine so I had to pull my finger out and get the wheels painted and smooth the front bumper.

T3LLIOTT Posted October 4, 2016 Report Share Posted October 4, 2016 Looks well. IIRC I'm pretty sure those wheels were made to order in that size and fitment from Rotiform direct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
