Boothspeed Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Hi everyone,My name is Jamie and I'm currently saving up for my first car - a lupo 1.0litre.....but I don't want it to be some sort of standard granny car, I'd like to make it look mint and be able to show it etc etc...this is where you guys come in.As I'm new to scene, I need a bit of advice I.e where is best place for parts, styling etc etc. my dad has worked around cars all his life but we are relatively new to the vdub scene.I'd like to know if anyone on her knows if someone sells the specific moulds for the 'smoothie' front and rear bumpers, or is it more of a body shop job and get it sent away? - what is a decent set of coil overs to fit - I don't want to spend top money, but I also on the same respect, don't want to go too cheap and have trouble with them.- wheel wise, I know what I want - but what a re the lupo's like in regards to clearance issues, do the arches have to be tubbed/rolled etc?- what a re common problems with them that need rectifying before I put it onto the road? Specific models/year any better than others or is there not much in them? - last thing, interior wise - what is the best fitting replacements for seats etc that go in without much work?Any help would be greatly appreciated,Cheers,Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karl_Mac_ Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 I'd recommend going to your local show and having a look at a few examples. Try and get an idea for a theme in your head, this will save buying things, realising you don't like them and losing money. At lot of your questions have variables, especially when it comes to lowering/wheel combos. Coilovers - unfortunately you get what you pay for. FK Street are OK, but the top end stuff will deliver a much better ride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
