Dubweiser Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 Lenso? wolfrace? already your going down the wrong path, you can get porsche rims cheap. tried ebay? or even www.dubmeister.co.uk personally id go for lowering it first, coilovers are the way forward but if your on a budget a decent set of springs will do. Thought about taking off your rub strips? great colour by the way! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyA Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 (edited) Could get some VW Le Castellet, bit like Design 90's (Porsche) without the hassle of hub converters. Im bidding on a new set on Ebay, but feel free to have a bid, as I have too many sets! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blush:" border="0" alt="blush.gif" /> Remember to mod to your taste though! You've got a great start the colour is excellent, i'd be thinking about Cambridge style rear lights (RBRR), a nice drop 50mm+, and some wheels which suit dubs.

nfbr Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 and i know wolfrace are a bit chav but thos street octanes are actually a nice rim...only prob with the wolfrace S/O is that they look rubbish when you get them on the car...

lunalupi Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 Add my opinions style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />Do the little things first, then lowering before wheels. When you do go for wheels, try looking on edition38.com cos loads of wheels come up on there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupo_1.0 Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 yer man on the griles you have a insert that goes into the bonnet so it looks like its notthere yes ok you can still see a line but they look ok.and you see you say about bottomin out. i think it just depends on how much of a drop you want to go. i know the lupos sit like a trackor as standed iam on a 40mm drop and to be honest its not that low. i think 60 iss good on springs and i have not seen any springs that can go any lower.also round good height imo, maybe get pvw for something and have a look they always have companys that sell vag styling also may get someething in the "for sale" part Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lupo_1.0 Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 looking good mate trust me the small mods start and before you know it you have spent all your money lol.but one thing i still wish i did was to just do little mods first i.e the grille and stuff. but save up for a nice set of rims and some form of lowing kit (springs or coils) trust me it will change the how outlook of the car in total. i think rims are the best mod in the world lol.

IDGM Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 (edited) I've just seen the Street Octanes today on t'internet. £350 all in for 195/45s doesn't seem to bad although I did comment at the time to someone that they were chavvy. They already have the 'safe' black centres and polished lip, I think it's that they're not tried and tested rims that some people don't like. The Lupo could make a good 'Import' style car with enough mods to suspension and rolling stock without having to resort to daft exhausts etc. The trouble is that a lot of people are too obsessed with OEM, OEM+ (or as I like to call it "ram raiding at VAG rather than Halfords").Anyway, I'm off to replace my door handles with ones from an Audi Q7 (that's my idea, anyone does it first and I'll poo in their teapot).OEM+My botty.
