Dunno tbh cos its hard to tell with lowering on a shop. Personally i would say it isnt a shop, but i cant be 100%. You see plenty of cars that low though like vt's's/vtr's and 106 gti's so i wouldnt rule it out personally.

You can get it that low with some custom springs if coilovers dont go down far enough

Personally i think its a shop, as a mate of mine has a 1.4s lupo which is lowered -60 on those alloys & it isnt as low as that, if its real then thats gonna suffer some serious wear & tear

Aye thats definately possible, 2 lupos go around near me that are as low if not a bit lower..
I would say that that is possibly a shop though purely because the car is sitting uneven, a common problem when lowering in PS unless you rotate the image but then perspective and angle gets put out between the 2 layers...

Thats what i wanted to hear, am buying coilovers in two weeks and was goin to go with the FK's like on my old corsa but on the site it says they only lower up to 70mm which i dnt fink will get my car this low. Plus the camber adjustment is an ar*e to set up.
Does any1 kno anything bout the H & R coiles?

it is possible, but u need to 'modify' the chassis legs else the driveshafts rub on them
something about welding half pipe into them to give driveshafts clearance

I herd this bout the drive shaft, somthing to do with the ange once its lowered, im sure ill get it sorted at the local garage
they do handle well but would rather sacrafice this for the 'looks' as i am not a speed man

You have to do a bit of cutting on the chassis because the driveshaft hits the chassis leg afaik.
