Tobs23 Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 (edited) hi all,been meaning to do one of these posts about my little arosa for a while but just not had the time. but eventually got round to it lol. so here it is it is a 2002 1.0 not even an s hahacouldnt cope with the standard steelies so first on the list was a set of alloys. wanted originals for it because of the insurance complications with aftermarket ones.along with the new alloys i decided to add abit of colour by doing the calipersafter about 6 months. then got bored again and decided to make another modification lol. took it to a small garage where they fitted me a nice new shiney 2" stainless exhaust system.been like that for the last year appart from new seat covers and new radio and CD auto changer. until 2 weeks ago whenn i decided to do the wheels. soo did some research and found out that getting them powdercoated was an expensive job. so i did them myself soooo happy with them nowbefore i started on the wheelsall cleaned and sanded downfirst coat of primerfirst wheel finished and dryingall of them painted and clear coat aswell here they are on the car. such an improvment next plans are to:colour code the lower bumpers front and backpaint the door handles, wing mirror backs same colour as the wheelspaint the door pillars or put some carbon wrap on themwill update when iv done them Edited December 15, 2012 by EAA Arosa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
