Kieron Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Don't go for air if you want the car to handle though as they make the car drive like a wet banana. Very costly too. I'd just spend less than half the cash on some high end coilies like KW variant 3's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenzie Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 ive got coilovers problem is its too low - well its never too low but when i go to shows i have problems getting in - went to vw show up here an scrapped my skirts on a speed bump coz it was the only way in - i want it more for the practicality so it can still be low but it doesnt get wreckedI'm guessing that was the Bathgate show? There is another way into that, avoiding the speed bumps. I forgot how to get to it this year though so had to tackle them, my car doesn't have side skirts, and it the whole bottom of the car, had to use blocks at one of them because I got stuck.

mattblackbus Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 My bug had airide on it and handled ace. Dont knock it til youve tried it! Its gonna cost you upwards of a grand if you have a go yourself or 2 grand plus if someone supply and fits it. (Ballpark price obviously.) Best bet is get a kit shipped in from the states it'l be half the price than it would be over here. ENJOY! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupogirl Posted January 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 yeah it was bathgate - some genius decided to inform me about the no speed bump route after i got there so i got out ok dont think i would have got up the hill and over the bumps on the way out. My mate knows someone with a kit that was supposed to go on a 106 but i dont know if that could be adapted for a lupo or not. x x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one litre wonder ;) Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 (edited) ive got coilovers problem is its too low - well its never too low but when i go to shows i have problems getting in - went to vw show up here an scrapped my skirts on a speed bump coz it was the only way in - i want it more for the practicality so it can still be low but it doesnt get wreckedwhat show was that ??edit* just read the above i dont go to the bathgate show as its a rip off either way the 106 kit wont fit as it uses a torsion beam rear end Edited January 8, 2008 by one litre wonder ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lupogirl Posted January 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 No ill defo be letting the insurance company know - i dont see the point in paying insurance if your not really covered because of failure to disclose might as well drive about uninsured lol my policys with brentacre u could say its steep already but they promised it wouldnt go up even if i continued to modify as long as i didnt touch the engine so i think im sorted - will need to double check though. Learned alot about making sure had proper cover after my bf's car - he was in a smash when it was black - he was with elephant who accept risk but not liabity of the mods so the car almost got written of because of the quote the bodyshop gave to fix it because the back end had been custom fitted and it wasnt a standard paint job. And they were only willing to replace with a standard rear bumper -we got something sorted in the end but it took months and i dont want that to happen to me. Hopefully will see you about soon cant wait to start driving it again it looks so sad in my driveway lol thanks for the comments. Any pics of yours on here? then ill know if ive seen you about - will have a wee nosy about the forum myself to see lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
