Tigz™ Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 -60mm springs will be fine on the standard shocks.They only need to last long enough until you can get coilovers anyway.Although theres plenty of coilover kits around for £210 to £250 on Club Polo and Ebay respectivley.You'd be supprised how many peeps have come and gone after saying they'll get springs then within a couple of months changed to coilovers... myself included!Polo GTI BBS rims look good, and are not too expencive.Look great after a bit of a polish.

The subtle modder Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 - The subtle modder -Long time no see! have you still got your arosa after your thoughts on changing it?hi how are you lately? im assuming u still have the 2 arosas?Well i had organised to have a new mini cooper S and had agreed a very good part-x deal for the arosa, was picking it up on the saturday but on the tuesday before i was browsing the internet and found a car i had always liked for a very tempting price so much so that by thursday lunchtime it was sitting on my drive A Peugeot 206 GTi 180, as name suggests 180bhp standard with stiffended rear beam, 17's, sparco buckets seats, climate control and many many other little bits, i have no pics on this new laptop otherwise id put a pic up, done a few things to it since i have had it and if i have it at end of year im having it remapped and it should chuck out a genuine 190bhp when done soproblem is i brought it cash as it was almots half the price of the cooper S i was buying and so didnt need to sell the arosa straight away, 1 year on and the arosa is still here i cant bring myself to sell it i keep using it for work etc when i break the 180 and it starts first time every time and purs like a kitten, no bangs rattles or squeeks i really cant fault it, its a hell of a lot slower (it is quite litterally a 1/3rd of the power) and handling isnt as precise but its a laugh to drive and sooo smooth compared to the 180's manic cam kick driving styleit is hopefully going in the pper this weekend though as to be honest its a damn waste just sitting there so if anyone wants a 1 of a kind arosa in truly pristine condition Pm mewayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
