Sammy Lupo Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 (edited) Hi all so this is my new lupo not much to say before this I had a blue lupo and re-sold it, then I have a vw fox and re-sold that. My test is on the 9th of Jan so this will hopefully be ready by then. I think white is the best colour came with the red alloys (no idea what they are, anyone?) 40/60 springs (for sale if anyones interested) also an aftermarket head and subzero speakers. Just picked this up today from eastbourne was about a 1hr 45min drive from dartford enough with the talking here are some pics (only ones I could get before it got dark) Now for the plans.. Got a double-dinn Kenwood ddx-3021 ready to go in for door speakers I have my focal 165v2s with tweeters these are my wheels.. specs are 16x6.5 et37 so a nice bit of tuck will be getting a respray in the same colour. tyres are 165/45s so nice little bit of stretch the car currently has red interior which im not too fond of so if anyone would like to swap for grey or make an offer on my set..? now for the lows I am going to be getting budget front coilovers without helpers in & maybe notch the chassis ( Need front coilovers if anyone has forsale feel free to pm me ) for the rear I am going to be running custom springs and smaller dampers bodywork wise I am going to colour code the front and back bumpers all white and smooth the back one Got my priv plate ready to go on which reads as B14ST C Thats about all really will have alot of updates to come over the next few weeks any comments appreciated Cheers Sammy Edited June 2, 2013 by Sammy Lupo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sammy Lupo Posted January 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 (edited) I cant really see why it wont but we will have to see, its the same as cutting rear springs and running them without an adjuster just putting a smaller damper on so they dont pop out Edited January 9, 2013 by Sammy Lupo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sammy Lupo Posted January 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 (edited) Soo update on the coilovers and wheelsThis is how it sat with springs + dampersSo this was literally undriveable the rim was actually touching the arch and took us a few different way to even get it jacked back up, the mud flaps were about an inch off the floor lol.. so had to do some more modifying and this is how she sits nowthe sills will be abit lower once the front are on and it settles may even drop it a little more at the backbumperand the clearance literally a fingers width and I have small hands lolfront will be on tomorrow with other steels on front hopefully, then we will see how she sits then Think im going to be buy a new rear bumper and a few parts from VW within the weekany comments appreciated Edited January 12, 2013 by Sammy Lupo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
