Ad.... Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 (edited) Hey all, been on here a few weeks doing a bit of research and finally got a lupo gti! Used to have a golf gti 16v so it's quite abit smaller but already feels more lively handling wise! Got a few things i'll do, 1st one being the ride height and getting it down on some coilies... just waaaay to high for me at the moment lol. Change of wheels and a few small tweaks like black badges and pressed plates. All will come in due course though, being a 1st year student means very little money! Just thought i'd say hi anyway Thanks, Ad Edited May 25, 2008 by Ad.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
