Wanna feature mine Glenda? :) I want some publicity. Don't seem to be getting anywhere lol. The plans this year are to take the back seats out and do a flat boot build. Today I bought some Volvo bumper markers (orange daytime running light clusters) going to fit them this week. Will post up pictures :)

Not posted in a while guys. I've been attempting to follow a U.s theme with the Arosa. And recently been taken by the whole daytime running lights that the u.s spec vws have.

As it were, they don't make u.s spec bumpers for the Arosa so I've decided to make a go at it myself. I was researching and shopping around for Volvo bumper markers and didn't want to spend big money as I'm on a tight budget this month. so I phoned my local scrap yard and asked if they had any Volvo s40's. luckily, they had one in. So I went down and bought two bumper markers at five of her majesty's great British pounds. :D

Kind of how they'll look.

Fitted some high bright 10mm LEDs but they looked too yellow so I ordered some lower tone orange LEDS from maplins. (Still waiting on them)

Made some templates for the bumper. (Smaller than the light clusters obvs ;) lol)

Then started smoothing the writing.
