bbro3 Posted July 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 Serious?? Yes i am. i have had 3 polo 6n. The arosa mk1 just looks like a baby 6n. The square headlights i think suit it better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eug666 Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 Finally someone who understands :3 I got bored looking for arosa sports and decided that I could just buy a lupo sport and swap all my body parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trx 33 Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 Dont do it, i was i die hard Mk1 fan but after a certain amount of time the novelty wears off and you start looking at the car and thinking 'christ this car looks old, really dated'.Also, converting the front end would decrease the value of the car as opposed to vice versa. I was considering swapping my Mk1 front to a Mk2 but i just bought a Mk2 instead, its nice to have both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loupeygeorge Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 do it if its what you want to do. doubt anyone with a lupo would want to swap their front for yours, but just source parts at scrappys. i also think the mk1 arosa is the best looking of the 3 but the dash board looks naff compared to the lupos.

lupo1.0se Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 Its not worth time/effort some people did this in the past mostly to hide accident damage, (As far as I am aware 3 conversions have been done) Your best bet is to sell the arosa and buy a cheap lupo.

Spartan535 Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 If it's what you want to do - go for it and scratch that itch! However:1 Check with your insurance company that it will be insurable after the swap;2 Use second-hand bits and keep the originals - as the car may prove un-saleable and/or virtually worthless when you come to sell it with the conversion in place;3 What are you going to call it - an Arupo or a Lrosa?
