Looks like a good find, a boulevard as well. Welcome to club polo

That lupo's sick!!!!

That lupo's sick!!!!

Was at Polo Show?

60/40 works well, just watch your wheel choice as certain offsets and tyre sizes create issues on bready rear arches

Edited by philpheasant

Just noticed....

Thats some mad gangsta lean going on there :lol:

You can roll the rear arches enough to get 6's under easily, depending on the offset and how low you are.

I was a bit dispointed when i saw it wasn't styled like a famous tank engine... :(

But it looks like a tidy enough find! Welcome to cp!

Cheers all,

The lupo wasnt at CP show..

60/40 i think id like to go a bit lower if it will take it?

The gangster lean was when i was cleaning, I'm not cool enough to pull that off! And 6J! how boring :(

1str past down from the loop new G60s and bridgestones 165s ment for the winter, do you think they should fit ok once he's on the floor?

I'd go with HnR cup kit all day long. My mate has it on his G40 and its brilliant. I had Wietec kit which was pretty good as well.

Got TA's now mate!, Cheap and hopefully cheerfull ish, not fussed about the ride really, not taken it over 60 yet and it cant handle any worse than it does now on corners!

Cheers anyway :)

hey mate, can you pm me how u paid for your g60's? I'm guessing you got them from vw?

  • Author

Il pm you now mate,

white lupo's are just something else 8-)

mk3 looks like a good find too, good luck with it

Me too.... It's a very tidy 2F in one of the better colours. Effort on the paint has paid off, looks like new.

Sick Lupo dude... like that.

80/70 shocks & springs fitted, G60's + Bridgestone 165s on,

I rolled the arches and sealed them with tiger seal :)

Height wise its really practical, went up some dirt tracks with big rucks today and it coped fine!, just needs the exhaust tucking up as it catches on my drive,

The ride is harsh but it handle's much much better than before, and its nice to have decent tyres

Also sprayed the VW badges up as they were tatty,

Sorry about the s**t pics
