WillyP Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 Hi so had my lupo about 10months now and I've made a few changes along the way so thought I would start a little thread.Bought it completely standard you get the idea, but a couple of pics...Firstly got it on coilies and took bumpstrips off...Wasn't really into rolling trims so thought have a go at painting steelies...Looked ok on steelies but at end of day just steelies so they didn't last long, bit of a jump in time but this is as it stands now, BMW teledial alloys, euro plates, white VW badges.So thinking maybe white roof next? Maybe decat, any thought?Thanks for reading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DannyParanoid Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 ^I think you have to increase the centre bore a bit, if I remember right from when I wanted mini wheels the CB is 56.1mm and Vw CB is 57.1mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WillyP Posted May 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 £50 for wheels alone, but had them painted white.I bought 15mm spacers for front and 20mm for the rear, I took te 1mm off the spacers VERY gently with a belt sander so te wheels where still original.
