JoeA Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 Please, no. Two piece spoilers make me sick. Your car, so up to you. But, with it being your car, its you that'll look silly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sp3nny Posted July 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 haha true, fair comment mate, i dont mind them. I did want a gti one but looked for months and couldn't find one. this only cost me £30. Also not seen many on Lupo's, they seem to be more of an arosa thing so just thought i'd be different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sp3nny Posted July 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 ye thats definately true, and i'm putting on some TSW venoms this week lol, bet you dont approve they are only temporary though while i find some decent BBS or banded's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeA Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 I don't mind the venoms, what colour? and what tyres? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sp3nny Posted July 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 just in the process of doing them gloss black, they were silver but were curbed badly so i'm refurbing them. Not sure on the tyres, maybe Toyos? they're pretty low profile, but need to be as i will be lowering on the same day i put them on. Love tis loop but i've seen a Golf that i might be buying its a real bargain, so the loop may be up for sale soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
