jbarrows Posted June 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 Cheers for the compliments guys, Its slowly all pulling together now, have ordered up quite a bit of stuff for my birthday [26/06] so will have some more updates this weekend!The arosa does have its little advantages over the lupos, although the only bad thing i can say about the arosa's is the rear lights are terrible!

jbarrows Posted July 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 Time to start fitting some parts!- Under-dash cupholders are now in, was a bit of a pain as a strip of plastic had to be cut away! - More on that later..- Wheels are off ready to be taken to the tyre fitters to get them wrapped in the Nankangs - Whilst the wheels are off i will be doing the brakes and sealing as much as i can get to with some black hammerite.Arnold looking sorry for himself on my drive..

JL91 Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 Good stuff JL91, which model have you got?Just the basic 1.0l. Suits me really as a first car it's been really cheap to get on the road. Must say it's pretty nippy to, moves and handles exactly how id like it too. Which model is yours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must say it's pretty nippy to, moves and handles exactly how id like it too. Which model is yours?Ah sweet the 1 litres are nice and cheap to run so good choice for first car. I have a 1.0 lupo in jazz blue (first car) which I am using at the moment and I also have the arosa which is the 1.4 100bhp which I will be driving in October when insurance is up for renewal. Can't wait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbarrows Posted July 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 The Rota Grids have been off the car this week as im fitting new brakes, The parents were getting a bit annoyed at having 'Dirty wheels' in the house so i thought id finally get the new tyres fitted and give the wheels a going over with the cleaning products. The tyres before were Uniroyal 195/50/15 Winter tyres which were too big so a set of Nankang NS-2 185/45/15 seemed like a good option.How they looked before..Picked a few of my cleaning goodies to tackle these wheels.WashMeg Hot rides wheel & tyres cleanerRinseDry with leatherPolish with Megs Ultimate polishMegs Quik DetailerMegs Quik WaxDodo juice Purple Haze proAG Wheel sealantAG Tyre dressingThey can now stay in the house for a bit longer!
