RS2quattro Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 I didn't have a trolley and axel stands up until last month. Since then I've had the car up often to fiddle with wheel sizes. I used the scissor jack to get the car up to a level that the trolley fits under the jacking points. It has slipped twice in that period, not causing much damage thankfully as I had the wheel on still but still highlighting the need for a proper trolley jack and axel stands. I drive the car onto planks of wood now instead for clearance.Only 28 quid from machine mart. Go get a set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramirez Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 Like it, but can you not get the front down more? Nose down on a Euro is the way to go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dj_slipp Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 nice. is the back fully wound down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavs_arosa16v Posted April 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 Back is all the way down with the adjusters removed and the front has a bit more. Rubs a bit on the rear over big bumps, might get the front down a bit more on the weekend. But it is getting to a point where it is undriveable on some roads where I live, because of all the potholes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavs_arosa16v Posted April 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 It certainly is. The beast with 105.6bhp style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> Going to mod the bumpers next, just need some spares to work on.

Gavs_arosa16v Posted April 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 Thanks for the nice comments. Going to clay detail it and drop the front.

db Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 Minty minty! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> It looks fine on the outside, the only thing that perhaps i'd do is get the lips on alloys polished. One very nice Arosa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grapo Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 Get the bottom of the bumper colour coded, would look mint and make it appear lower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavs_arosa16v Posted April 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 They are 14''A local garage did it in the end, for a reasonable price. Wont be getting the bottom sprayed, its too low. The paint would be on the tarmac in no time. Clay detailed it yesterday, cleanist its been in a long time. The bad thing is it attracted the attention of some thieveing scum, who nicked my valve caps. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The subtle modder Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 valve caps are the least of your worrys mate just theck all door locks and handles before you get in the car to check they havent been messing, if they get on your nerves dont be tempted to run them over in the arosa its not worth it, it would make a right mess of the bodywork instead use one of the beemers in the backgound :excited:still looks sweet gav and is whats been missing for a long timecheck your pm as well mate, thankyouwayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
