Hi guys! Hope someone can help! Just recently fitted a set of Lupo lights to the car using the wiring guide posted in the 'how to' section. Only problem is when I have my side lights on, they're brighter than the brake lights when the brakes are applied. I've probably just missed something but I've checked my wiring against the guide a couple of times now and it hasn't helped! Any suggestions? Thanks P.S They're fitted to an arosa

I'm definitely in! Would be good to see what other lupos/arosas are floating about N.I!

Happy days have fun! I will! Even throw a quick post together on here to see if there's anyone from N.I interested! Yeahs I real on I'd be a lot happier with something bigger but test fitting yours would make the decision easier!

I'm running coil overs as well but I'm just saying you need to be ridiculously low to get the 13s to work!

I agree with this! I'm running 13x7 atm and the arch gap is doing my head in! Don't get me wrong, I love my wheels but after a while I'll be going for something a bit bigger!

Looks great! Can't wait to see a set of wheels going on this!

Yeahs that'd be great! We need to get a meet sorted as well at some point!

I know! Definitely much better! Thanks! Wouldn't mind test fitting something a bit bigger sometime though! Thanks! Always good to get some good feedback!

Thanks! I try my best to keep it clean but it's hard with the weather we get!

I use my AUX most of the time anyways! Radio is just all ads these days!

I can't pick up blast 106 which is a local Belfast station! That's it though!

It's just a stubby one off eBay I sprayed satin black! Receptions ok still get the main radio stations over here!

Thanks buddy! Those tyres are off now and they've been replaced with something a bit better!

Forgot to post the pic haha, here it is iPhone doesn't really do it any justice!

Most recent change I've made is putting the Lupo rear lights on instead of the arosa lights. Haven't completely made mind up but sure. Standard Halfway there All done! Finally here's a pic of how it's sitting now. I know it's probably not to everyone's taste but all feedback is welcome! Haven't really got any plans for the future, apart from getting some ideas for a new set of wheels so I can get the arch gap reduced and maybe a simple boot build but I'll keep this updated!

Next stop was a new set of rubber so went and bought a set of 165/55/r13. It's quite funny how many garages won't even look at your car as soon as you want to put a tyre that will have a bit of stretch even if it is minimal stretch like mine Don't know if you can see but the new tyres are miles better Being 13's, it's quite hard to get rid of the arch gap unless you go ridiculously low which I did have a go at but then this happened My cat took a bit of a beating and decided to crack at the seam. Took it to the garage and apparently there wasn't anything the guy could do to patch it or join it again so decided to go the whole hog and get the exhaust replaced from the manifold right back. Altogether it was £330 inc VAT. Definitely not the cheapest I could've got it but needed it ASAP and was hard to look around for better prices cause of the hours I work. Was completely worth it though. New cat (I know it's a crap photo) New back box So after all of this I did chicken out and raise the front of the car a tad!

There's no difference in the last two pictures, I'm just trying to post this on my phone cause my laptops messed. Finally got a bit of money and decided to look for some new shoes for Rosie. Minilites had been a favourite for a while but couldn't find a decent pair at a fair price so the search went on. Finally came across a set of Starmags 13x7. Finally got organised and went and picked up the wheels. Only problem is they came with ridiculous tyres (165/70/r13) so they looked like balloons. Anyway stuck them on the car until I could afford to change them. See what I mean about balloons? Half decent shot at a local spot

Car stayed pretty much this way for a few months until I got a new job and money was a bit easier so I got back on gumtree and started my search for the next change I had planned. After a while I came across these FK Highsports. Bought them off a guy in Belfast who had bought them for his arosa but never got a chance to put them on. Never been out of the box or wrapping and got them for a great price.

Didn't want to post too many pics in one post so will split it up a bit. First changes I made were the standard: de badge the back, half decent CD player with AUX lead, changed the oil. Next up came spraying the standards. So went to the local auto store and picked up a few tins of primer and a few tins of satin black and got to work. Wheels off the car Wheels rubbed down and playing cards on to stop any overspray A few coats of paint later and then a top coat of lacquer to finish On the car and cleaned

Well, finally got round to uploading some photos to photobucket so I could post a thread on here. We're better to start than with my first car before the Arosa. It was a 2008 Suzuki Swift Attitude 1.3 16v. Was a lovely car until I wrapped it round a telegraph pole on my way home from work. Here it is.. 3 points and £100 fine later I finally got sorted and started looking for a run about to do me until I could afford something else. I've always been interested in the VAG scene and have always loved the Lupo/Arosa,. After a while searching on gumtree and Autotrader I finally came across this in a local family run garage Was a good base to start off with, 2003 with 58,000 miles. After a good wash

There used to be one or two in Carrick but haven't seen one in a while! I know I need to get sorted on the pic front! If anyone has Instagram I have a few on there! It's joshbrown101

Where's that at? Could do with some things tbh! Yeahs I agree! I've seen the odd one floating about but would be good to meet up in Belfast or something!

Oh yeah! That's me! Just put them on the car today actually! Did you get sorted?

I'm from Carrickfergus just outside of Belfast and I'm working on it! Was hoping to get a lend of a friends camera as all I have is my iPhone but might just end up using them!

My first car was a 2008 Suzuki Swift Attitude which is the. Limited edition one, was sad to see it go but had always wanted a Lupo! When it came to getting a run about I found the arosa at a good price with low mileage!
