mphgoose Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 (edited) Seeing as my last post here was just to show some pics when i got the car i thought id start a proper thread, progress will probably be slowish due to lack of funds (student ) but there will be progress!So here it is how i got it when i picked it upand today these arrivedJOM coilies, cheap but they should do the job. Hopefully going to fit them sunday!Also got these deliveredOnly 10mm and no decent rims to show off yet but hopefully sooooon. Also im guessing ill need longer bolts for them.Ordered a few stickers too so theyll be going on shortly. Next plans are decent wheels whenever i find/can afford them and maybe a roof rack. Also spraying the badges soon.Thanks for looking! Edited November 25, 2012 by mphgoose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mphgoose Posted January 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 Ah bad times! Itll come along before too long though im sure, a lot of it is luck on the day i think but if you can show confidence in your driving and make as few mistakes as possible im sure youll pass. I passed first time but i was kinda lucky, i panicked and made loads of silly mistakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jowey Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 I know the spacers are only 10mm but there aren't hub centric so to be safe I;d get some slightly longer bolts when you come to fitting them.I'll alweays have a soft spot for a yellow Lupo, just makes me think of my first one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mphgoose Posted January 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Cheers for the tips Jowey sounds like theres a lotta love for the yellow out there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mphgoose Posted January 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 Well, failed fitting the coilies today. The one tool I didn't have access to seemed to be a 21mm swan neck spanner. Which is needed to get the top mounts off. So i'll try and get hold of one and try again next weekend. Might go and fit some stickers now so I can say I did something slightly productive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mphgoose Posted January 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Coilies are finally fitted! One of the rear ones isnt right yet though, the top mount is as tight as it will go but still reallllly loose and rattles and bounces everywhere so ill get that looked at and get it tracked tomorrow. Also the front is too low as i cant get up my drive properly and the back is waaaaay too high so ill get that sorted. Heres some pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mphgoose Posted January 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Just dropped it off at the garage to get the dodgy rear top mount sorted and get it all tracked up. The mechanic (a VW enthusiast) laughed at how low the front is XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mphgoose Posted January 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 And now that its back from the garage and everything is set up this is how it looks - The rear DEFINATELY needs to go lower, i guess ill have to take the adjusters out. Opinions? Next on the list is definately a set of decent rims, not sure what yet though and ill be saving for them i think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lermy Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 needs a clean but getting there, get them adjusters out and put the rear badge back on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mphgoose Posted January 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Yeah she definately needs a good clean! Haha. And the badge will go back on when i can be bothered to spray it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenLAST Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Front needs to go lower as well if your dropping the back more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
