Tigz™ Posted May 28, 2004 Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 Ive had a mess around with photoshop, wanted to work out what to buy first, coilovers or new wheels.Looking at the pics Id say coilovers what do you guys think? These two are just me being silly, had a mess about with cutting the roof down slightly, I think it'd look quite cool what you think?

twisty b-road Posted May 28, 2004 Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 What size you gonna get the wheels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted May 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 I cant deside what to do, I'd like to get the arches flared mk4 Golf style and fit 8" at the front and 9" at the back, but I think I'll end up going for 7" at the front and 8" at the back.Defenatly want the rear wide though style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twisty b-road Posted May 28, 2004 Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 You gotta get the arches and the wheels at the same time I reckon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted May 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 Im not too sure, I might get the coilovers, then the arches (and some big spaces) and then buy the wheels.8 and 9" cups are £160 each! Then tyres etc.I think the wheels will either be towards the end of the summer (bit of a waste of time as Im only gonna use them in good weather, and put my Fox 6's back on for the winder months.I dont think my car will look too bad if dropped on them wheels anyway, its Emma thats desperate for them wheels.Id like Turbos :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-=R LUPO Posted June 1, 2004 Report Share Posted June 1, 2004 Really nice choice Andy. Those wheels really suit the Lupo in Silver. The roof chop looks cool, were you inspired by the old skool beetle?Definatly coilys first, the car will look mean on the move as people cant tell what wheels you have on when there spinning!!!

Tigz™ Posted June 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2004 Thanks mate, I love the wheels, and I agree about which to get 1st.The roof is something I saw years ago on mini, looked really cool.Ive got bout 8" of headroom, even if the seat is fully up! so loseing 12" of roof line would be fine, and look really, really cool!
