mike89 Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 (edited) Just realised i havnt posted pictures of the arosa yet . So heres it from the start....... Firstly, completley stock. First thing to do was to get some wheelies. 15' wolfrace then got myself stubby aerial and a set of fog lights. After a long long search, finally got hold of a badgeless grill . Then more recently bought a set of pressed plates, and FINALLY my lowering springs arrived . FK 35 FRONT/40 REAR.

cardaft Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 (edited) Now that is one tidy looking arosa I do really like that Suits its colour so well I like the fogs, did you fit them? Are they connected to the proper headlight switch? I wouldnt mind those on mine. How do you keep your engine bay so clean??!! Ive got to say thats something i dont often bother with. Id go as far as saying thats my favorite 1.0S! Edited July 20, 2008 by cardaft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are worth the effort though. You should get a set. They suit black arosas so much more in my opinion Lol dont get it dirty in the first place by driving behind big lovely person lorries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathhead Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 (edited) Looks great, really really clean indeed. That engine bay is immense, top job. Needs to go lower though, get some phil j coilies in it , and get the rear wiper off. Edited July 21, 2008 by deathhead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel i should clean mine Yea i got them from the dealers. think they were about £120 altogether, lights, grilles, wiring and switches. bit steep but definatly worth it water and a sponge. Used a de-greaser to get rid of grease splatters and just rubbed the plastic down a bit with simonez back to black Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike89 Posted July 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 a rite cheers. Is it hard taking the wiper off? and to get back on? Yea will probably head down to it sometime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathhead Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Nope not hard at all, 15 minute job. Just take the casing off inside the boot to access the motor, pop the cover off the wiper on the outside and undo the nut and pull wiper arm off. Undo the 2 nuts holding motor on the inside and take it out, bend over wee water line and cable tie it incase you ever want it back on, put casing back on and pop in your wee plug into hole. Thats it as far as i can mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
