hey guys last weekend i went to my local interior place and ask about getting one made but they said it would be rely pricey around £300 and as you can buy one for a lupo for around £60 i decided it just wernt worth it, but i had a little thought could you buy a lupo bonnet bra either second hand off some one or brand new and just alter it to fit a arosa??? the lupo bonnet bra would be slightly bigger so it wouldnt be that hard would it???

just an idea :-)

The bonnet is the same size as the Arosa, only problem is the headlights, they are totally different shapes compared to the lupo!

It would be to difficult to modify a lupo bra due to the nature of the leather! Plus you could rowen a perfectly good lupo bonnet bra if it does not work!

I think they are all made out of real leather, I like your idea but its to much like hard work to modify one and I think it will end up messy looking!

I was toying with the idea of modifying a Mk3 Golf bra as I think that would be the closest match to a Mk1 Arosa.

I hope they are no where near the £300 you were quoated, its a good market for who ever makes them because I think they will sell alot of them!

Yeah i was looking to see if something like an ibiza could be modded but didnt really have a clue.

Its not really worth it IMO, by the time you have brought one and then got it modifyed by a trimmer it will probably be cheaper to start from scratch!

i would expect probably the 60 poundish mark but that is a bit of a guess.

i hope to have mine made before ultimate street car if anyone is going so you can have a look then (dont think anyone from around here has got a stand but find me in the camping site)

once my mk1 bra is done then the template will be sorted and shouldnt be too bad on making more, issues are is if people are wanting a mk2 bra has i dont know anybody around here who has one where we can get a template from
