    I can see by the end of this year all diesel lupo/arosa’s will now shoot up in value. Did they ever do a Arosa Sdi I wonder?

    Always got a search going on eBay for curiosity more than anything but the amount of Lupo GTIs on this week is eight!! They really are common as muck and I’ve seen so many of the last year which surprises me as you would have thought they would have been far and few between.

    I’m glad they are upping in value as most people just aren’t aware how good both of the diesel models are

    My first thoughts are also electrical, maybe the weight of the engine tugging on a block connector more one way than the other?

    Ditto as I’m late too

    After having ’Rossa’ (my tdi arosa) on the ramp for summat I noticed lhs anti Roll bar subframe mount torn away. Has this happened to others on here? I’m running a gti ARB and I wonder if the subframe is beefed up more on those models?

    I used to use a ‘V‘ shape foldable device that clamps onto the tow ball. No pressure on the tailgate. Held two mtb bikes.

    I love foreign breakers yards as they are just like ours from the seventies and eighties and are real goldmines.

    As above!!

    I did see the car in the flesh yesterday, it was quite interesting how the rear arches were shot as it was quite a lot different to how mine were rusting as I’ve just repaired and I noticed my ‘Rossa’ **** guards are minimalist and therefore don’t hold the crud the Lupo’s do.

    Re-corners, actually quite easy to make but I always use the original shape to work round. To reproduce them one needs a wooden ‘plug’ to work over. on another note, the sill I made was around 1.1-1.2 mm thick so it’s better than std as std is .9mm aprox.
  13. tigcraft
    Good assumption!

    Front sill section made and ready to fit…

    Yes coating is guesswork. I etch and weld through. Cavity’s take planning when body waxing. I leave gaps to inject then hope it doesn’t go off like a grenade when I cap them 🙄🤣🤣
