puzzlement13 Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 Hello,This is my little Arosa s, 2003.The first day I got it ...It has some bad points, the paint has faded (milky lacquer), some peel on the roof and has had a bump on the bumper...So once it was home, t-cut, polish and wax + removing the bump strips Got a new head unit, and a tiny aerial.. no pictures though.. So after a few weeks of hunting on gumtree and trying to save money for a set of wheels, I finally got a set!I managed to get them for £90, shame there wasn't any tyres.Still cant fit them because of this!Anyway, some more gumtree searching, and I picked up a set of lowering springs 40mm and wind deflectors for £55!Which was fitted today Boyfriend and his brother doing the work And after!Isn't an awful lot lower, but much better and affordable!And, only placing the wheels to get an idea how they'll look...So that's it for today, until next week when I hope to get tyres... Any feedback is welcome!!Thanks, Sarah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

puzzlement13 Posted October 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 Well, I never thought this had a use... I'm sure you all know anyway, but had wondered about it for a while! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puzzlement13 Posted October 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 Thought I'd show a few of mine with other cars... This is when the Arosa was completely standard.This one is with my Dads E30;Beside a lupo I found Beside my friends lupo, I need to get mine lower! (In the new year)And since I found another yellow one, got a quick snap before college. 40 mm lower isn't too bad (I'm happy with it for now anyway!) but that other one really looks like a jeep!

lowrider Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Looks really nice with those springs. I'm also looking for a set for my Lupo, because for what roads we have here, 40 mm is just enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
