Uz is that the deal that's £500+vat?
Last time I asked about the runs I had just missed out on it but then I got quoted £460 inc. VAT collected from them.

#153: Re: Ross' VW Lupo GTI - Wheels & Coilovers are on! Pics pag Author: Ross, Location: West MidlandsPosted: Tue May 18, 2010 4:42 pm ---- Went to Newquay for the weekend, and found a couple of people who were living the dream...
Mint, and decked, parked up at Fistral Beach. There was another stunning minter across the car park too...
Love them , if I won the lottery and had a dream garage...

Fancy a secret trade with my Dad's SL...he'd never know it was gone
#156: Re: Ross' VW Lupo GTI - Wheels & Coilovers are on! Pics pag Author: Ross, Location: West MidlandsPosted: Fri May 21, 2010 2:41 pm ---- Well.... I do have a bit of a thing for those SL's.....
Thanks for the comments
I bought some camber shims today, for the rear wheels. Just need some longer bolts now so I can fit my spacers, should look good when it's all sorted
#157: Re: Ross' VW Lupo GTI - Wheels & Coilovers are on! Pics page 7 Author: Ruffy_206, Location: BristolPosted: Fri May 21, 2010 2:43 pm ---- nice what are they like offset spacers? and i take it your not worryed about wearing the nankangs
#158: Re: Ross' VW Lupo GTI - Wheels & Coilovers are on! Pics pag Author: Ross, Location: West MidlandsPosted: Fri May 21, 2010 2:49 pm ---- They look like this:
You have to push bits out the middle, to set the amount of degrees you want, all looks quite complicated TBH
As for the tyre wear, I spoke to someone who runs camber on Nankangs and he said they were fine, and a hard wearing tyre, so that encouraged me to do it. The stance is bothering me a bit, wanna get the spacers on the rear, but I reckon I might get some rubbing then, that's where the camber will help though! Plus I love the look of the camber I've got on the front
#159: Re: Ross' VW Lupo GTI - Wheels & Coilovers are on! Pics page 7 Author: Ruffy_206, Location: BristolPosted: Fri May 21, 2010 3:06 pm ---- aaahh does look a bit complicated to me. and we no you love your stance lol. not happy till its spot on.
#160: Re: Ross' VW Lupo GTI - Wheels & Coilovers are on! Pics pag Author: Ross, Location: West MidlandsPosted: Fri May 21, 2010 3:13 pm ---- The front wheels poke more than the rears as standard. With the spacers and the camber it should make a nice difference, will look wider and beefier. It's all about the stance!
Outside the place I got the shims from there was a mk3 Golf, it looked a little tatty, but it had some nice wheels and awesome stance, and that's what counts
Example:
Cool
#161: Re: Ross' VW Lupo GTI - Wheels & Coilovers are on! Pics page 7 Author: Ruffy_206, Location: BristolPosted: Fri May 21, 2010 3:16 pm ---- o yeah if i had the money for some nice wheels i would try my hardst to get the stance right maybe x mas time lol.
have you thought about black side inducators?
#162: Re: Ross' VW Lupo GTI - Wheels & Coilovers are on! Pics pag Author: Ross, Location: West MidlandsPosted: Fri May 21, 2010 3:40 pm ---- Yeah mate I have, particularly as one of them keeps getting condensation in it. Unsure though and not too bothered if I'm honest. They stand out but then they also match the front lights aswell.
#163: Re: Ross' VW Lupo GTI - Wheels & Coilovers are on! Pics page 7 Author: Ruffy_206, Location: BristolPosted: Fri May 21, 2010 3:43 pm ---- yeah i see what you mean, just looking at your stick then and its all black.
look even better if you got rid of them lol
#164: Re: Ross' VW Lupo GTI - Wheels & Coilovers are on! Pics pag Author: Ross, Location: West MidlandsPosted: Fri May 21, 2010 3:47 pm ---- I can safely say they wont be getting smoothed off, lol. Also my centre caps are chrome so the repeaters match them I guess!
#165: Re: Ross' VW Lupo GTI - Wheels & Coilovers are on! Pics page 7 Author: Ruffy_206, Location: BristolPosted: Fri May 21, 2010 3:52 pm ---- aaahhh ill let you off. and just seen your other post red wheel will suit it. show off the stance more and go with the rear lights
