LINCOLNSHIRESLUPOGTI Posted May 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 What width, offset and tyre size you running7.5 x 16" ET35 all round. I use 5mm spacers on the rear so the rears are effectivelly ET30. 195/40R16 Toyo's to give a slight stretch but nothing too much that the tyre may dismount.

I have some porka 16's to put on with 8's on rear plus I need adaptors and am concerned a little, although mines nowhere near as low as yours I'm hoping I'll be ok for now.

LINCOLNSHIRESLUPOGTI Posted July 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 Lupo has been pretty neglected recently. Since starting my own business last year and then moving house recently it has covered about 5,000miles since the last MOT (11 months ago) compared to the 20,000 a year it usually does. Only been polished once in the last 8 or so months and just been sat in a garage mostly.It got the new wheels and a bit of attention then got moved to the garage at my new house and laid dorment again. Got close to selling but after chats with Tigz and Tom and some time on Clublupo the Lupo love is strong again and it is staying with me.Just spend about 20 hours giving it a full detailing session finishing with some Zymol. First time I have used the stuff and it is in a different league to the polishes and waxes I have used in the past.80,000 mile service in a week then off for MOT and a check over the ECU's to make sure all is well and that the throttles are balanced. Hopefully then I may get some playtime if it stays dry.A couple of post-Zymol shots taken on my phone so not amazing quality. border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris260 Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 I haven't said already but those wheels look absolutely perfect! Making me want a lupo gti now!!!What Zymol is it you're using? Payna uses it too and his always looks spot on, think i might switch from the meg's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twisty b-road Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 loving having smaller wheels so much, car is so much nicer to drive. Really made me realise what handling I have been missing for the last 4 years running 17's.Do keep up Darren style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 It looks sweet and tidy as usual, i really like those wheels as they only have a small lip and the spokes seemed to be more shaped than the modern lines in 15 inch form, they suit it to a T.

LINCOLNSHIRESLUPOGTI Posted July 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 What Zymol is it you're using?After I had got rid of as many swirls I could I started with the Zymol. Used the HD Clense first and then the carbon wax. Nearly bought the Ebony wax as it is for black paint but it is only for non-clearcoat black so went for the carbon wax.What industry is your home business if you dont mind me asking?I am a design consultant sevice company. I work for engineering companies doing design work for them.Do keep up DarrenIt was Fin's car that convinced me that 17's were the way to go when I first got the car. Maybe I also had a little bit of chav in me back then too. I think have seen the light...at last. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> really like those wheels as they only have a small lip and the spokes seemed to be more shaped than the modern lines in 15 inch formWhen I frst got them I was a little disappointed as I hoped they would be deep dished. As they were special order I could not send them back (and after all the hastle it took getting them). Once they were on the car though my view changed and I love them just as they are, they seem to have just the right stance for the width of the arches.
