Steaton Posted July 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 (edited) When I first saw it I wan't so sure, but this was the closest arosa sport to me (80mile drive away) I did go look at a lupo sport of a similar price but it had done 100k colour of the bumpers were mis-matched, generally poor condition, and the insurance was miles cheaper on a Seat than a VW :3Should be getting my steels back on saturday, then they need sand blasting and a bit of paint throwing on them.

Chrisbee Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 Looks like a good little project, its one of the worst things putting right other peoples "mistakes" specially as they usually cut corners.probably too late now but you could get lupo gti pedal covers (audi tt ones are the same) theyre alloy ones and fit really nice being oem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steaton Posted July 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 Funnily enough I was about to say how much I love the wheels I'm not sure, when I first saw them I thought they didn't suit, but I have got used to them now. They don't help me at the moment though rolling up with a blowing exhaust, tinted windows and bright red alloys :3 And my steels are being proccessed so I'll be having them insteadLooks like a good little project, its one of the worst things putting right other peoples "mistakes" specially as they usually cut corners.probably too late now but you could get lupo gti pedal covers (audi tt ones are the same) theyre alloy ones and fit really nice being oemThe rubber covers I've put on are just some used oem ones from the scrap yard, cost me pennies so I could look into those pedals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are a white 16 LED SMD festoon 39mm. I paid around £1.70 for a pair from eBay.

Steaton Posted January 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 Well... I'm back. Since my Arosa sport I've had an Octavia mk1 1.9tdi 108ps, a Seat Ibiza FR mk3 pd130. Now I've decided to come back to the Arosa/Lupo Club but with the 1.4 tdi. Couldn't pass up the chance of £30 a year road tax, great fuel economy and cheap insurance, especially being self employed. I'll create a new progress thread as it has many of the common problems. Sorry for bumping a 15 month old thread! :3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
