Mark230 Posted August 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 (edited) Fitting Scorpion exhaust at my mates house. The ramps saved so much time Eventually managed to save up for a set of alloys and tyres. 15" vipers with 205 proxesAs the car sits the now Not really thinking about doing much more to the car, but I would like a bit more power out of it All comments and suggestions welcome Edited December 11, 2011 by Mark230 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark230 Posted August 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 there drilled in but i know lupo has the gold bits on the door frame bit and didnt think arosas had themWhat gold bits? It's easy enough to check, just peel back the window seal when the door is open and you'll be able to see.If the hole is circular and not hexagonal then you'll need to get the bolt inserts from your local garage, only cost me 2 quid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
