Mattias.K Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 (edited) Hi!I recently found this great forum and thought I might post some pics of my Lupo .It's a 1.4 16v -00, that I bought in June 2010.This is how it looked when I bought it:Three days later at a Volkswagen-event in Sweden (BugRun 2010)Then the coilovers arrivedAnd some new wheelsStretch is always nice These are the spacers mounted in the front (20mm each)There are only 5mm spacers in the back, this will be changed to 20-25mm.And this is how it looks now. 20mm spacers in front, 25mm in the back.Cheers!

12yan Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Looks good nice to see a different set of wheels been used Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike89 Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 that does look really nice. Wheels really suit it Maybe a little bit lower when you get the rear spacers on, and it will look ace!mikey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamiea7x Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 loving th e wheels , a little lower and itll be spot on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattias.K Posted July 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 (edited) Thanks guys! Yeah I would like to get it a little lower too, but the adjuster in the rear is at the bottom plus the exhaust and chassie is reaaaally close to the ground as it is . I don't understand how you can drive as low as you do.I drove this Golf mk2 before, and it was acceptable to drive in this height:http://www.garaget.org/?car=86925â„‘=787326But with the Lupo it seems that the engine and chassie sits lower compared to the exterior body.

little rich Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Were all just hardcore you see!Lupo looks smart, agree nice to see a different set of wheels on a lupo that work,Oooo and take the rear adjusters out Rich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfbr Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Sweden Yay! I like Sweden. Dunno why. It's better than France though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattias.K Posted July 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 Haha, yeah you guys seem to be pretty hardcore here ^^. Awesome.I might take the rear adjusters out, although it seems tricky using the spring compressor. I'll wait until I get the spacers on anyways. Man, I hate the "non-coilover" solution in the rear!Have anyone here built some serious stereo in Lupos? Putting in the cables is hard work compared to other cars. I heard that the easiest way might be to have the power cable run underneath the car. What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little rich Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 Audio in a lupo is easy! Decent runs down each side of the car, and most parts just pop out,I run my power down one side and my RCAs down the other side,Rich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Självklart blir det bugrun, för din del med? marcs: Jo jag gillar dom . Yes, 4e eller 5e året i rad blir det. Vi ses där då! Sorry guys for the Swedish . I finally finished with the de-locking of the front doors. Also mounted a stainless steel pipe with an open cone filter and got a really nice intake sound A friend of mine found a turbo he thought I should mount on my lupo:Gt45 Edited May 22, 2011 by Mattias.K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattias.K Posted June 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 (edited) A bit lower now The stereo in the boot lowered it a couple of CM. The subwoofter is the same size as the rims, sound about right don't you think . Lowered it 15mm in front as well and painted the front emblem black.
