scotty_82 Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 thanks but hes now saying it needs to be an arosa that its running fine on because thats what i have any pics would be loverly too thanks.Its essentially the same car.I'm assuming your at the age of 17 this is your first car and the parents have paid for it or own it and they have insured you on it. I'm so glad I'm past all of that, good luck with it.I can do a bulk buy on cotton wool if that's any use though ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
