Ellzbmx Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Well this is my 2000 seat arosa 1.0 (rory) i got it a month ago after psing my driving test on the 6th attemptafter looking around it was the only one i liked that was in my price range so i went and picked it up from WinchesterHeres how it looked when i got it First thing i did was pop a big chavy sub in the boot which wouldnt fit so i have it in upside down...Next i picked up a set of Jom blueline coilovers, popped them on with ome help from a friend after removing the helers and trimming the bump stops down a bit, looked a lot betterThen i removed the bumpstrips off the side which took way too long! the night before edition38 but really likes the new lookheres a rolling shot on the way to edition from a friend i also picked up some 15" mercedes trims and butchered them until they fit, looking pretty cool now(taken at edition38) Thats all for now stay tuned next thing i want is some new wheels possibly some 16" steelsAlso heres a edit from Edition 38 from a friend while we were there , im the one being towwed in the tent by the mk2Link to video from editionCheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellzbmx Posted September 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 One of my Mercedes trims fell off or got robbed not sure Anyway managed to get some 15" bbs reps for a good price Need 2 new tires but test fitted yesterday and pretty stoked how they looked. Plans are too remove the remaining fake bolts and fill the holes then spray them gunmetal grey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellzbmx Posted September 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 Joms aren't that bad, needed to cut bumpstops down sothey weren't bouncy all the time, bump strips took ages! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellzbmx Posted September 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 Dropped the car off at Sjb autotech in basingstoke to get the hydraulic lifters replaced as I had a big tapping noise, also driveshaft is on the way out so need to source one of them before the weekend Joy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
