SamEdwardSwain1 Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 right guys last august i got my first car a 1.0mpi Lupo got it for the silly price of £420 this is how i got her 15" nasty alloys and 55-60 mm lowering springs and nasty little wing mirrors so i got bored of how chavy it looked with the 15" multi fit alloys made it look then ended up with 5 sets of 13" steel wheels after a fight with a badger i had to buy a new lower bumper, rad, rad fan and slam panel (lower bumper was from a lupo sport so had fogs and was colour coded)other than getting the fogs working the pic below is how i sold her !!! sold it for £800 !!!i got my new car last month bought it after a friend sent me a link over facebook as i had been talking to them about my shopping list of things i wanted in my new car.Dark blue MK2 Arosa Sport with less than 75k miles for less than £1500 less than 6 owners as standard as possible (you wouldn't believe how rare they are) so this is the car i gotDark blue MK2 arosa sport with 73,600 miles 5 previous owners standard other than some nasty hellfrauds wheels and a de badged grill and all this forwell within my budget so after having the car for 5 days i spotted a set of month old coillovers on a facebook page for just £80!!! so when my friend asked me to go with him to London for some sound stuff for his car i hitched a lift and stopped off on the way back for my coillovers (lucky friend found a mk1 arosa boot in the blokes shed and got it for silly cheep and a little bonus there was an MS design spoiler bolted on it) so when i had a week off work i put them on and borrowed my mates BMW E30 BBS 14" 6.5j with 165.60.14's on and with a little bit of playing with the front and with a bit of camber I managed to get the tyre past the arch on the front and wind them all the way down I have more plans for the car so il try and keep you posted HID's next week and more lows very soon thanks for reading if you see me around or at a show give us a wave (i will be on club stand with Lincs.V.A.G for a few shows) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex.T.Gates Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 I love the look of your arosa pal, what are those wheels in your latest post? They look fantastic! I've only had mine for a few weeks, it's supposed to be a daily but I've already got a bit of a shopping list building up... All the best with her, I hope to see more snaps in the future Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
