cardaft Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 Very very nice arosa there, looks very tidy Great colour too, i have one just like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArosaAnt Posted June 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 cheers, I really didnt know what colour I wanted and this one just looked so good in silver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jowey Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 silver is a top color for polishing, looks very tidy 26k on the clock is a bonus too, can i recommend not debadging the grill though good to see another southerner on here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niche Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 I like the Arosa's but I've always said that those bump strips on the bumpers are just plain gash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArosaAnt Posted June 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 cheers guys, I do like the debadged look although I can always swap back if I think it looks like crap.smoothed bumpers will look awesome but that is too far down the line to think of right now. The wife is putting up a fight over when I can buy suspension! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJ51NXX Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 Nice one, looks tidy I seriously thought someone had taken my car when I glanced at the first picture. One of the better colours IMO!!! Yeah I wish I could be arsed to smooth my bumpers aswell!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardaft Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 (edited) I like the rubstrips in the bumpers, although they dont actually work as rubstrips very well, scrapes are always either above or below them Yeah i thought that too! Mine looked exactly the same, even down to the mudflaps and dunlop rear tyres! Its also a 2003 1.0S. Sister cars Mine has now been equipped with 'crazy' sidestrips Id leave the badge on the front too, makes the front look too plain.

ArosaAnt Posted June 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 Im going to invest in a debadged grill to see how it properly looks. until then i really dont know if it will look poop or not!If anyone has one for sale Pm me what are the best wheel sizes for these bad boys? was thinking 14's with a nice drop but is that still too low for a decent daily?

LJ51NXX Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 I have some 15x7 on 195-45-15, so they give the same rolling radius as standard wheels (14x6 on 185-55-14), so when lowered it isnt too low to use as a daily. Depends on the look you're after and the quality of the roads you using Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArosaAnt Posted June 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 yeah, been thinking of some 15 x 7's but im worried that I may not be able to get as low as i want.I want the car to be around 4 inches from the ground and the arches filled so im not too sure what size would be best.i do love the borbet t wheel though!

LJ51NXX Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 should have too much of a problem going low on a 15x7, just gotta get the offset right, think standard offset is ET38, so stay close to that and you're onto a winner. Borbet T's are sex IMO, shame they only come in 14 and 16" though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArosaAnt Posted June 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 14's may work but when i slam it will the car be scrapping he floor everywhere? thats why i cant decide!in the meantime a member if Tidyvag (my local club) has done a cheeky 'shop. cheers Ant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArosaAnt Posted June 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 im guessing that 16's wont fit too well on the Arosa?been offered 1st refusal on a couple of sets of polished porsche wheels but I think they will be too big.any help is appreciated!

LJ51NXX Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Yeah they'll fit, but you'll need arch work. Also you'll need adapters to run the porsche's. Which ones are they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArosaAnt Posted June 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Yeah they'll fit, but you'll need arch work. Also you'll need adapters to run the porsche's. Which ones are they?D90's & 928'sNot too sure the width's of these wheels but im guessing that 7 inch would be the safer option (if only I was given this choice when I had the VR!)I've seen Gti's run them but thet have the bigger arches so can get away with it.
