ShinSkin Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 (edited) Hi Everyone, just bought myself a 1.0 Arosa S as a first car and itching to mess about with it! I plan on keeping it fairly standard looking, maybe some 15" alloys and lowering springs. If anyone can recommend some cheap and worthwhile mods I'm all ears!

I'm assuming they're all over eBay? And what's it like with the wiring? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 (edited) fogs involve changing the lower valance on the bumper too, I wouldn't say it's a cheap mod but it is effective. Edited February 2, 2017 by Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds a bit beyond my abilities... If there's anyone on here in Norwich that wants to help me improve the Arosa all help will be appreciated!

It's just the two corner bits on the arosa, two screws. The Lupo on the other hand is a ballache as I've done both. The arosa is much easier.

mattarosa Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 I'll gladly lend you all the help you want. You'll need the switch and the loom too if you're going fully oem or you can just make your own loom and switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saying that I probably can't afford to get them for a while! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
