LOVE the number plate! slag!
haha cheers, was just going after the last 3 letters for my initials, only realised when i put it on what it said
yh the lights split opinion with my mates as well, was looking at a spoiler a while a go. But quite a lot for what they are and at the time no SEAT dealers could get hold of any. (SEAT ones were cheapest and most discrete imo)

haha no worries, i like them anyway
haha i'm saving up
-
Very clean and tiny, Headlights look cool but I cant stand dim lights, put some HIDs behind them sould brightened things up.
Thanks
Will do when i get some time spare
All good so far.
Are you getting springs or coilovers to lower it?
Matthew.
Hopefully coilovers, but have no money atm haha
-
oh yeah, and i sprayed my front 'S' badge and the chrome grill surrounds black 'cause i'm gansta
Playing around with various cameras, my mate's punto and my cousin's Leon ...
-
Like i said, had the car for about 2 years now, been tinkering with a few things, but havn't got the money to lower yet
so, here's all my tinkering so far in one fat lump...
After a good clean
De-badging
Then i decided to spray my door handles, air vents and speedo cover 'piano black'
After getting working some overtime around last Feb, had my rear windows tinted, was worried i'd end up looking like some chav but i think it makes the wraparound glass at the back stand out
Then as the evenings were getting longer i borrowed my mate and his sis (who works doing vinyl graphics for vans and buses) and did my roof gloss black
And here's some photos of it barely visible in the dark
Oh, and at this time i managed to drive through a Fjord too quickly and rip the black bottom bit of the bumper apart, also managed to knock out the grill which floated away before i could grab it
(hence the whole where the SEAT badge was and the string keeping the bumper together)Anyway, got the parts through my dad's mate that works in a body shop and fitted them. Problem solved
Then decided to Lamin-x my front lights, in gunsmoke. Does make a difference to the brightness of your lights, but the website claims it's legal, car passed it's MOT fine and i havn't been pulled yet. Just a little nerve-racking in fog or heavy rain
That's pretty much where i am at the minute =]

-
ahh sweet

i probably walk past it every day haha
-
Aye, i feel like i'm being stalked now :/ haha
Where you from mate?
-
on foleshill rd by the traffic lights about 2pm ish, passed you in a silver Arosa. Anyone?
-
New wheels are looking good, sweet colour too
if you're ever thinking of getting some new seats, i'd be interested in taking yours off your hands
-
the chrome grille trim things do come off, even the outer ones are glued onto like the rim of the grille, not attatched to the bumper at all.
maybe heat it up a bit?
I piggled and gently pulled at them until they came off. left a mess of the actual grille though.
-
those photos are sweet!
and your arosa looks awesome, nice and simple but effective
-
i just prised my old ones off, sanded, primed them and sprayed them. look a lot better imo
-
had a look at the link in this thread when i was looking at doing mine,centre consoles about half the way down the document.
never actually got round to doing it though so couldn't tell you how hard.

mine's José, me and my mates decided because he was spanish. It was that or Manuel

i'm quite dense when it comes to this kind of stuff,
Aquired a Kenwood KFC-W2502 10" sub from a family friend.
looking to fit it but not sure what amp to get.
looked on the back and it's 4ohms impedance and peak power 400w
Does this mean any amp i get has to be 400w or less?
And i'm just looking at a 2 channel amp, is this right?
obviously i have to get a wiring kit aswell, is there anything else i should be thinking about?
Sorry if i'm asking obvious questions,
any help appreciated.

hi
we've had all the symptoms on the Arosa.
it's 6 years old with 30,000miles so by my reckoning eligible for goodwill?
Called up our nearest SEAT garage and they wanted the chassis no. before they would say anything. They then said that there has never been any problems or recalls on Arosa's.
so we took it to a VW dealer and they said yes, the pedal box had gone but it was brought on by a heavy clutch and as it was a SEAT they would not offer goodwill but would happily charge £800 for a new box and clutch. They also denied that they've had problems with any Lupo's.
Then we tried calling up a different SEAT dealer but they said goodwill was only available if you had bought something from them previously.
tried the local garage that does me dad's work vans and they said it would still be about £600/700
Has anyone managed to get an Arosa done at a VW garage on goodwill?
is it worth calling literally every SEAT dealer in the midlands?
has anyone else managed to get anywhere in this area?
cheers.

ok
i'll disconnect it then,
erm yeah
i was looking to spraying some bits of my interior and would like to do vents and the dial surrounds, so i just wanted to make sure i could actually get them out properly before i started taking other things to bits.
Cheers

Hi
wasn't sure if this counted as interior or mechanical so sorry if it's wrong section.
looking at removing speedo/rev counter etc.
Got everything off but unsure what to do with the cables (blue & green) as i'm a bit of a noob with electrics.
Can they just be unplugged?
do i need to disconnect the battery first?
Cheers.
-
Thanks everyone
i think the SEAT one is like curvy so you don't need to do anything with the brake light.
I'll give our dealer a ring and see if you get any adhesive with it, if not i'll get some tiger seal.
cheers.

hi
I was looking at getting a roof spoiler from Seat for my Arosa, but a guy my dad knows at a bodyshop said not to bother with just bonded spoilers as they fall off really easy.
Had a look around the forum and seen people saying that just bonding works fine but they're quite old topics now.
So I just wondered if anyone has installed one recently or has had one for a while and how it was holding up.
cheers
