cardaft Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 (edited) Nope, the Arosa has a deeper upper bumper at the rear so the bottom of the lupo one wont fit. See here:The lupos number plase recess goes into the lower half:The front is a total no no, the arosa and lupos front are very different, the lupo is quite square across the front where the arosa is rounded. (which also makes the Arosa 24mm longer ) The only real way to get rid of the reflectors is to remove them and then get the bumper smoothed in. Although how legal it is to have no reflectors on the back for MOT purposes i dont know .... but people on here dont have a problem i dont think.

lunalupi Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 Rear bumper doesn't split - its one part, its just that only the top half is painted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one litre wonder ;) Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 the mk2 arosa bumper splits im sure as you can get the lower halfs from the stealers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toot Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 If i was you I would just buy a Lupo bumper from a scrappy and get it painted. That way you also lose the Arosa rubbing strips and reflectors making it look smoother in the process! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max69vk Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 Rear bumper splits, start at the outer edge clips as they are they hardest to seprate then work inwards. Arosa rear bumpers are a different shape to Lupos, they have an extended lower section which resembles the Lupo GTI lower section & also the curves & edges on the upper section are a lot sharper & more defined, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
