JTucker91 Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 Hey, only just got the Arosa (mk1) and it is quite clearly too high so what is the best thing to do (possibly coilovers?). Also I would like to remove the badges from the back and possibly off the grill, just wondering would it damage the paint (its like a glossy "imperial seat blue" I think) and what is the best way about taking them off.Thank You Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dj-jay Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 welcome along buddy to club lupo, i reckon the best upgrade for any lupo/arosa is deff coilovers, 60mm drop all round is a nice look unless u wanna slam it down think some of the guys on here have gone 100mm down, maybe more i dunno, i dont think it will damage your paint, the easyest way i no that job done is using a hair dryer to heat the glue and using something not sharp to lift the edge of the badge, i did mine with a very blunt knike covered with 2 socks, anyway have fun on here and stick up some pics of your baby,,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTucker91 Posted March 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 (edited) Needs a bit of a clean, i know. just havent got round to it.Working on the parcel shelf, just need to get the speakers and put a strengthning beam on the bottom as it is only made from ply and then get the carpet stuff for it.Also, could anybody tell me where i can get some decent steels/alloys for it which dont cost too much Edited March 13, 2010 by JTucker91 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calumoip Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 Really clean example, Coilovers are well worth the money for the extra drop. If your not to fussed on quality most people go for TA technics or FK coilovers.The badges should come off no bother, I just ripped mine off ghetto style and used some tar ang glue remover to take off the residue.As for steels you can by G60 steels (original mk2 golf steel) for around £150 new from VW Dealership. You should be able to find the part number and pics online. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calumoip Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 Arosa Mk1 just transforms when its low 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
si_leeds Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 Same colour as my sport T do the rear pour plenty of hot water of the badges to ease the rubber tape off, and pick them off gently with something blunt, I used ny rac membership card, youl nEed to guve it a good polish afterwards, and the big seat badge even comes off on the mk1 for extra smothing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTucker91 Posted March 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 bought some felt and spray paint, sprayed the underside satin black and stuck the felt on top. once it has dried, (probably later on this evening) i will fold it over and staple it around, then stick it in the car, also found some really cheap speakers which will be perfect for it, £12, so once i withdraw some more money ill get them in.

Arosa_Spec Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 looking good, love the colour.i have just debadged my mk1 arosa front and back, a heat gun will sort the back badges out and a very sharpe scraper, and some pile of concentration. front you can get a full de badge grille for about 30quid off awsome. and as far as lowering, i used eibach springs over kyb struts. but it seems people like to go the coilover route... depends what you prefer.

JamieB Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 debadging the rear is simple, use a card from your wallet (one thats not important) they just pop off, then wd-40 and a bit of elbow grease does the trick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gucciwah Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 nice little car mate. you should go on ebay and you might find some bargain wheels on there...make sure they'l fit first though. keep it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jowey Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 cool color.BMW bottle tops would look dapper on that mk1 cheap as you like on ebay.Coil-overs are always worth the money. TA Technix are £220 delivered well worth saving up forbecause arch gap makes baby Jesus cry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesTdi Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 debadging is easy, hot water and some fishing wire!! Jobs a good'nOH just remember to lift the boot so the hot water doesn't touch the rear bumper or you'll be for a good after noon of elbo grease and t-cut!!
