yeah a 1.0 but very well educated style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> everything is standard except what you can see. the interior is actually pretty crappy. after i have the suspension, new brakes and some interior modifications i'll put a 16v in there. my wheels are the o.z. superturismo model 2005 15", on 195/50 toyo proxes t1-s. best purchase i've ever made. have you thought about painting the lower parts of the bumpers? cheap and good looking mod. btw i don't think i have photos, but i put the "arosa" badge on the doorstep, ferrari style XDDD

style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> yeah that and a volvo 850 painted in the same way that starred in "airbag", one of the best spanish movies of all time. and the stripe just fits perfectly in the design style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> yeah me too, but here if you want to lower a car more than 30mm you have to get it officially approved and pay some serious dough. sucks. nice rims lunapi style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> 15"?

absolutely. that's what in my family we have experienced with my 1.0 arosa (http://forums.clublupo.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=21812). it was bought in 1997 and is just over 100.000km now. it's not only about the mileage, but the "education" you give the car. for the first 4 years my mother drove it and when i inherited it was still sleepy. when my father drives it nowadays he totally feels new rage in the car. i always drive it between 3500 and 5000rpm in 2nd to 4th and to 6000 in 5th, the car is just used to go in that range, and therefore "asks" you to rev up since the beginning. truth is you can almost stall it in a lower range lol but the 1.0 can be very angry some times, especially if before thinking in putting a 1.4 16v you change the wheels, rims, brakes and suspension and drive fast through any corner at relatively constant speeds. that means flooring it (which is not much of an acceleration), but then keeping the speed in reasonable limits so you don't have to brake much. if you do, you'll need more acceleration at the exit of a corner than what this engine can provide.

subtle modder can you post some link to tigz's? this is what i want to do too, but am wondering would there be any chance that keeping the 1.0 gearbox allowed some kind of... more fun perhaps? i would have to change the clutch because it's rubbish but if we can avoid the gearbox change that's a lot less money and work isn't it.

hi everybody i'm new here, somebody in the spanish club lupo found the thread of the radical arosas in this board and we found mine featured there, so i thought i should post some more pics: it started with something like this: border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="" /> and after the third crash i decided starting taking good care of it: border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="" /> next week i'm lowering it 3cm and after that a lupo gti spoiler. still don't know what to do with the front bumper. hope you like it!
