  1. Straight set of BBS looking alloys. If they are for a show car then they will need a referb. They were painted and not powder coated hence why the paint has come away with any little knock. There are screw holes to put fake bolts into them to make them look more of a split rim but I never bothered. The tyres are just over a year old with about 600 miles on them. Prefer local pick up but will travel a little to help the buyer. Deposit required to secure sale. £280
  2. Hi All, I have had an engine conversion done and its almost there but we have hit a stumbling block. on full repression of the accelerator I am only getting about 10-15% of the butterfly valves open on the Carbs... Tried tightening the throttle cable but not much progress. Has anyone else done this conversion from a 1ltr to this engine and can give advice on what to do to cure this problem.
  3. And this is what came out of the Drivers seat.
  4. Ok so I found some Lupo GTi Seats on eBay. Gray in colour with red stitching, very chuffed and they are lovely to sit in. So much nicer than the standard ones. They have come out of a smokers car so I decided to give them a clean with the VAX. this is what came out of the passenger seat..
  5. Think I'll have a look on eBay and see what I can find :-)
  6. "simple clean and effective"... The way all "Dubs" should be. Thanks for the positive comments guys. Interior needs sorting, need some decent GTI seats or sports seats. Not sure what the colour is I'll have to have a look for the code on the sticker and let you all know. I will have to find out as I am looking to get the car blown over to freshener her up. I have a similar colour on my VR Syncro. Thats in the work shop also LOL
  7. Just need to sort some of the scratches and dents on the body work from where the Mrs has been driving for the last year. Currently looking for some new front seats to put in her.... Wheel center caps are now here ready to go on, along with wheel bolt caps. will update again soon. Oh and I will give her a dam good clean and then use some Zaino to bring out the shine. Scott. p.s. all i need now is a mashed TTRS and the internals will be going into this little one... bring on the fun !!
  8. So the girlfriend decided she would scrap her MK1 Arosa because the pedal box had gone. In her mind the car was not worth anything being a 1.0 liter so she was going to just get rid. I persuaded her to give it to me, after all a free car is a free car. How I got her... a little unloved and battle torn LOL. Wheels bought from eBay for £56 and then refurbished. wheels are a 7.5j but I manage to squeeze a 195 40 x 16 on them ;-) With wheels but NO coilovers. Now with Coilovers... VERY HAPPY !!
  9. looks lovely... if it were mine I would bin the stickers though...
  10. Saw this today with a blond driving it. 1.4 it said on the back looked lovely... Give up the fags though LOL
  11. What steering wheel is that off ? is it a MK7 Polo? If so is it a straight fit?
  12. So if I have Polo GTI Calipers will they just fit on the original hubs I have on the Arosa?
  13. Thanks Guys. I have 16 inch wheels going on it (7.5j) so I think I will have enough clearance :-)
  14. Hi All, Anyone done this on an Arosa/Lupo I have the parts not sure if this will fit though. If not will sell on. Scott.
  15. Are they on this forum? I need to find out the colour of the car or the paint code I know its a VW anthrasite but what one?
  16. All four tyres... oh no thats not good. Not at the show?
  17. Firs time I had been to the show so didn't know what to expect. really enjoyed and come away with red arms and face from not taking any sun cream.

  19. Car has been to a local garage and they say its not the pedal box... the thing is there is this niggle in the back of my mind that I just know the car is not right. All the symptoms as stated in page one of this thread. I may just have to get the part and wait till it does go.
  20. Hi All, I have been in conversation with John (NO-RICE founder) about a 10 year get together for NO-RICE celebration in September 2012. E1K has its monthly meeting on the 12th June 2012 at Festival Place in Basingstoke (two junctions down from fleet services Junction 6) and we are inviting all the old NO-RICE attendees to come along and join in. NO-RICE is on Face Book and the event is published on FB here: https://www.facebook...54197514635851/ We have a huge venue that holds 500+ cars. So if you have attended NO-RICE in the past and want to rekindle the atmosphere and get together with friends you have not seen for a long time then come to the event. We are expecting a good turn out with all the regular E1K members and the old NO-RICE members attending. The venue is a private car park so there will be no modified Saxo's/Corsa's/civic's etc allowed to encroach on the evening... As it is a private venue we MUST uphold the rules of no speeding/wheel spinning or general horse play as the Landlord and Festival Place employ security to maintain this. The venue is car friendly in that the ramps are gentle and there are no kurbs. There is a £1 entrance fee for the car park for the night after 5pm (17:00hrs) and the event will start to fill up by 7pm (19:00hrs). Please spread the word that all that use to attended NO-RICE. German/VAG cars are welcome in preparation for the 10th anniversary of NO-RICE in September 2012 when I believe John is returning from France to attend the meeting at Festival Place in Basingstoke. Regards. Scott.

  22. My Lupo is in the E1K stand. See you guys there.
