fincham552 Posted July 19, 2015 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 Always liked lupos, thought they were quirky, appreciated vags build quality having already owned a mk2 seat Ibiza. Anyway to cut it short about a month ago I bought an 02 plate arosa 1.0 mpi have to say a lot of fun to drive albeit a bit wallowy in the corners (can be rectified with some suspension mods later ) not done much so far but here it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My_Names_Buck Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 How did you go about filling your rear wiper delete hole..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fincham552 Posted June 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 (edited) Wiper delete was an eBay job about £7.50 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/291538760933 About 2 mm too shallow for the.arosa so just filed the edges down a tad. Put a bead of black silicone round the outside and pushed it in, I wedged cardboard tight behind it for an hour just to keep it all the way in while it dried Edited June 22, 2016 by fincham552 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
