yes thats right another 1.0L joining the scene :lol:

hey guys, sort of new, im matt, 20, from bedfordshire and have picked myself up a beaut!

1.0L lupo in flash (not faded!) red, mother and daughter owner from new (with a regarding dad/husband so new tyres, servicing etc... ALWAYS!) :D full service history - just last two stamps missing, recent cambelt change, 75,000mls, immaculate inside and out bar one 'parking' gash in the front corner, fully valeted, gorgeous drive, 2 keys and never any advisories on mot.s bar tyres/gaitors (small consumables so yay!)...

any who, nuff talk - picked the gem up for £1250 down from £1400, got her home and started spending...

thanks for the picture help bud - thats great! lots of t-cutting brought it back to its former glory! As for the lowering fella, the fronts have the helpers removed and wound quite low down but then the chassis sat on the driveshafts so it had to come up a bit! :lol: the backs have no adjusters and i think the're 80mm springs (in the coilover kit) but it dosnt look low on the back to me :huh:

keep the comments/ideas coming guys, really appreciate it! And i love my interior too much bud thank you! :P

hey guys! long time no update but thats how it goes with the current climate ;)

but anyway - trial fitting my new wheels for 2011 with a friends 20mm adapters, just to see the stance it gave; think im going to go for 15mm on the front so i can drop it just 10mm more perhaps and then mix and match pairs with some 30mm (35mm?) on the rears, let me know your views, thanks! B)

also the plates are going back to standard with GB band as i've got a bit bored of the stamped 'euro' ''style''...
