That is really a good looking car.


Don't know why VW saw fit to replace it?

Pics taken last year when i had the Ronals on before i had done the red grille trim and induction trumpet, theyll be going back on again after this Summer.





Couple of pics from before Summer this year when i had the Compomotive MO's on





Its very weird how just a set of wheels can completely change the look of a car. Im happy with them all and still have no plans to sell any of them.

Looks great.
Personally love the Ronal Turbos myself though. Must be nice to have three sest of wheels (and tyres?)

Do any track days in it?

That is a very very nice Lupo.

Ronal Turbos and Compomotive MOs are the best wheels ever.

Which wheels matey?

The Ronal turbo's are 15"
The RH classics are 15"
The Compomotive MO's are 16"

Car handles and feels so much better with the 15's on though.

Had to raise the coilovers aswell when i had the 16's on which was a pain in the arse.

I think they look great in standard form. Almost bought one myself about 4 or 5 years ago.

cool.

i really like lupo GTIs though!

also like the ronals. the compomotives are very nice too. i don't personally thing the polished rim ines look right - a bit 'ricer'...

i oike your red gti strip

what suspension do you have? how much lower than std?

Cheers !

It's on FK coilovers, not sure how much lower but it's low....very low...have actually had to raise it because i was sick of it scraping the plastic splitter. Still low though as you can see from my latest pics.
