LiamD Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 (edited) My 1.0 Lupo, lowered 60/40mm, took the rubstrips off and some german plates. border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" />Only other plans are to go lower and smoother. Oh, and some alloys, any suggestions?Cheers. Liam Edited April 28, 2008 by LiamD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philplop Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 Ah, good to see you on here, haven't seen you post before.Car's looking good. Ronal Turbo's are cool. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shades:" border="0" alt="shades.gif" /> Even cooler with coilies. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris260 Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 Looks a lot better on those ronals. Did you sort some spigots in the end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamD Posted May 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 Spigots are on my to-do list. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> It drives fine as it is, but I still want to get some. I'd like some coillies before GTi International, looking at FK Highsports, how low can you go on them?Thanks for the positive comments style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris260 Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 You can go 120mm on highsports. Your wheels will probably rub before you get near that sort of drop though but saying that i think tigz was at least 100mm on 15's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 -120mm on 15s but the fronts rubbed that much it pulled my arch out.Sliced a section from the lip and its fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vworks41 Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 My old 1.4s was that color, those ronals work well with it to!! Really like it mate style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shades:" border="0" alt="shades.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamD Posted May 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 Thanks style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />I've got some highsports on the way, so they'll get fitted next week.Anyone had any sump-to-earth issues on the Lupo when it's really low?

jon_273 Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" />Think I've seen this lupo before, I saw it fly past me one day whilst at the traffic lights getting onto greystones roundabout from the parkway. I tried to catch up with you down the 'mad mile' but didn't get the chance.Thought it might have been lowered with german plates, but it had wheel trims and I only saw it briefly so thought nothing more of it.Looked way cool style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shades:" border="0" alt="shades.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiamD Posted June 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 Well, my coilovers finally turned up this week - bit of delay, there was a slight cock up with the postage (understatement). Thanks to Oliver at Peformance Solutions and Rich at Venom for sorting it though... top guys. border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovely car!To make the badge black, just remove it from the grille, sand it down with wet and dry sandpaper and paint it. Or just buy a black one liked I did! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" /> My coilovers are on! Only problem is the front tyres scrub badly when I corner hard, and there's still half an inch to go down on them, so my arches may be meeting my good friend Mr Hammer soon. I'd post pics but it's torrential rain here at the mo...See y'all at Inters tomorrow... style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris260 Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 Nice one Liam, glad you got the postage stuff sorted in the end. Looks quite low for being on 15's too. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="B)" border="0" alt="cool.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamD Posted June 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 It's lower than it looks in the pics, it might have to be raised a touch when it beds in, or my arches are going to need a little modifying. Murph had to space out the front wheels as they were very close to touching the damper on the front, which is probably causing it to scrub on the arch when cornering hard.It's rockin' the car park stand tomorrow so keep an eye out if anyone's at Inters... style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiamD Posted June 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 Better pics of it on the coilovers... it's now got a stubby aerial too, the rear wiper is coming off soon, so it should clean it up a bit. border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
