alluline twist's / turbines / cups, not seen many sets
15x7 et 38 with 20mm rear spacers -
il donate pics of my arosa if you make a small batch ?
-
update !!!!!!! please
-
depends on your driving style aswell as my arosa at 135mm lower scrapes like mad (expected) but when i had it at 100mm i could avoid nearly everything but my friend has scraped his lupo when it was at 60mm
even at 135 i can get over wide speed bumps just not the thin little fookers -
iv had to cut mine down, new ones if you have it low will make it bounce like mad
my fronts are about as thick as an iphone 5 and mine still bounces when going
round a corner if im going fast
my rears are cut flush with the metal surround
IMO not worth replacing or ugrading them mate -
not posted one of mine for a while, this is her at her lowest to date :')
she is a 2001 mk2 arosa 1.4 16v 100bhp sport
current wheels are alluline twist's/cups/turbines (loads of names)
they are 15x7 et38
running 20mm spacers and compressed fk springs on the rearrunning helpers out not threads left at front on TA Technix coillovers (next year i have a set of citroen c2 fk front springs comperssed to go in 3cm shorter than TA's)
currently have a 2" notch and 20mm engine raised on engine side (plan on doing 30 or 40mm raise to each side over christmas)
she had a reinforced subframe but a trip to gti fest got rid of the extra 5mm :/ (note to self, cats eyes are bigger than ground clearance)
any questions just ask me

yehh so a week after gti fest was on my way to pick up some parts for a job i was doing when i had a few hard hits to the under side
and about 3 miles down the road i noticed the blue smoke so i pulled over and this happened in 1min while i went to pick up parts :/
the next day was fun doing my sump in the rain on the road :') -
havent updated this for ever so il pop some pics in for you all to see how she ended up
on the way back from winter gti fest when she was at her lowest
(cost me a subframe for that trip as i hit a few cats eyes on the A1 ) -
i have pop outs but no seals so cant fit them :/
-
cant remember the grade but i have 2.5l of genuine stuff at work i got for my 1.0 but sold car before puting it in
-
fitted my hid's and only had to move the battery
-
could be the linkages with the stiff gears we had this problem on my friend's lupo
-
its an AUB 1.4 16v 100bhp
and nahhh not got anything special in there yet -
im doing a blanking plate next weekend for mine
-
right guys last august i got my first car a 1.0mpi Lupo got it for the silly price of £420
this is how i got her 15" nasty alloys and 55-60 mm lowering springs and nasty little wing mirrors
so i got bored of how chavy it looked with the 15" multi fit alloys made it look then ended up with 5 sets of 13" steel wheels
after a fight with a badger i had to buy a new lower bumper, rad, rad fan and slam panel (lower bumper was from a lupo sport so had fogs and was colour coded)
other than getting the fogs working the pic below is how i sold her !!! sold it for £800 !!!
i got my new car last month
bought it after a friend sent me a link over facebook as i had been talking to them about my shopping list of things i wanted in my new car.
Dark blue MK2 Arosa Sport with less than 75k miles for less than £1500 less than 6 owners as standard as possible (you wouldn't believe how rare they are)
so this is the car i got
Dark blue MK2 arosa sport with 73,600 miles 5 previous owners standard other than some nasty hellfrauds wheels and a de badged grill and all this for
well within my budget
so after having the car for 5 days i spotted a set of month old coillovers on a facebook page for just £80!!! so when my friend asked me to go with him to
London for some sound stuff for his car i hitched a lift and stopped off on the way back for my coillovers (lucky friend found a mk1 arosa boot in the blokes
shed and got it for silly cheep and a little bonus there was an MS design spoiler bolted on it) so when i had a week off work i put them on and borrowed my
mates BMW E30 BBS 14" 6.5j with 165.60.14's on and with a little bit of playing with the front and with a bit of camber I managed to get the tyre past the arch
on the front and wind them all the way down
I have more plans for the car so il try and keep you posted
HID's next week and more lows very soon
thanks for reading if you see me around or at a show give us a wave(i will be on club stand with Lincs.V.A.G for a few shows)
