morganvw1 Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 (edited) So the girlfriend decided she would scrap her MK1 Arosa because the pedal box had gone. In her mind the car was not worth anything being a 1.0 liter so she was going to just get rid. I persuaded her to give it to me, after all a free car is a free car.How I got her... a little unloved and battle torn LOL.Wheels bought from eBay for £56 and then refurbished. wheels are a 7.5j but I manage to squeeze a 195 40 x 16 on them ;-)With wheels but NO coilovers.Now with Coilovers... VERY HAPPY !! Edited April 16, 2013 by morganvw1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morganvw1 Posted April 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 (edited) Just need to sort some of the scratches and dents on the body work from where the Mrs has been driving for the last year.Currently looking for some new front seats to put in her....Wheel center caps are now here ready to go on, along with wheel bolt caps. will update again soon. Oh and I will give her a dam good clean and then use some Zaino to bring out the shine.Scott.p.s. all i need now is a mashed TTRS and the internals will be going into this little one... bring on the fun !!

morganvw1 Posted April 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 (edited) "simple clean and effective"... The way all "Dubs" should be.Thanks for the positive comments guys. Interior needs sorting, need some decent GTI seats or sports seats.Not sure what the colour is I'll have to have a look for the code on the sticker and let you all know. I will have to find out as I am looking to get the car blown over to freshener her up.I have a similar colour on my VR Syncro. Thats in the work shop also LOL Edited April 18, 2013 by morganvw1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al3xTee Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 GTi seats are well worth the upgrade. Speaking from experience looking good, simple and very effective. Keep it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morganvw1 Posted April 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 Ok so I found some Lupo GTi Seats on eBay. Gray in colour with red stitching, very chuffed and they are lovely to sit in. So much nicer than the standard ones.They have come out of a smokers car so I decided to give them a clean with the VAX. this is what came out of the passenger seat..

Dblock Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 Yuk. I bet they feel much better now they are cleaned. I had a similar experience on a car that had been smoked in. The water was black and was the most fowl horrible thing ever. Do gti seats fit straight in or is modification needed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexHardy91 Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 Err, bet they look nice now though right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
