deathhead Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 (edited) well, here it is, was gonna do some work to it like new wheels, bump strips off etc... but am saving for a mk2 tdi so its staying as it is. its in really good shape considering i picked it up for £1000 quid with 70 000 on the clock and full service history. Bodywork is perfect but the paint was a bit neglected when i got it, got that sorted with a good 4 hours of polishing.

cardaft Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 Very smart and a very good price you paid too!MK2 TDi will be a nice upgrade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathhead Posted February 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 (edited) cheers. Drove a tdi last weekend and was very surprised at how nippy it was. Alot better than i had expected. Was kinda hard to get back into my car after it. My wee sdi hasnt really let me down yet though so cant be too harsh on it.

CAMonefour Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 Nice arosa mate, same as mines! how low are you ? just wondering if you got any quotes on smoothing the front and back. so far ive gotten ridiculous estimates!Atm im just working on how to put a lupo sport centre exhuast on, because the wheel well hangs down too low so gonna be a problem!

deathhead Posted March 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 At a pure guess id say its 90 ml lower. The best quote i had got for smoothing bumpers was 350 quid. Most smooth theirs so be different and dont Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver! Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 I like the Mk2 lights on your car. I also liked the wheels you had on before.Still looks nice though.R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arosa-Nor Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 Im considering the same kind of wheels. Do anyone know if theres possible to fit spacers behind these rims to make the car look wider? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathhead Posted March 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 (edited) im pretty sure you could get spacers no problem, or just buy the wheels in a different offset, like et 20 or something, then theyll sit out alot more.
