Onyx Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 Just bought my first car, A black Arosa S. Any suggestions on what I could do to it? Wheels that look good etc.. 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 You need to think about what it will do to your insurance. If you can afford it; always lower first. Stick with OE Seat wheels; the MK2 Phase 2 Sport wheels look really good on the Arosa:Still needs lowered to make the most of it though.Keep it clean and look after it until you can afford to mod it.

Onyx Posted May 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 Thanks! appreciate the advice, yeah im gonna have a look around online on what i can buy for it.. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel01 Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 lupo rear lights look a lot better than the standard arosa ones. Cambridge rear lights if you can afford them would definitely lower it first if you can though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx Posted May 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 Hmm thing is, I do like the cambridge rear lights, but I like the circles in the Arosa stock rears. The only thing that lets it down is the triangular indicators, i was considering blacking them out maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedro2682 Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 I had the stock rears, tinted them "lightly" and thought it was "Neddy". Got hold of Lupo one's and used the "How to" guided to fit them. Thousand times better looking in my own opinon and very easy to change over if you are going too.

Onyx Posted May 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 oh rightt, Ill have a look online for some..wanna get wheels first though.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 Lower first if you can; even on standard steels with trims it looks 100% better if you go low enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx Posted May 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 Thanks for the help man. also I was looking into exhausts kits etc.. because I wanted to buy the centre exhaust like the sport. I can get the bumper pretty cheap but dont know anything about which exhaust to buy and whether it will fit. What do you guys think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 To get a true Sport exhaust you will need to modify your spare wheel well as the Sport and the GTI have different shaped wheel wells to accommodate the exhaust. I'm sure a decent panel beater could reshape it for you. There are other exhausts which hang below the bumper, but they are pretty cose to the ground even before lowering.

Onyx Posted May 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 yes I read that a few days ago, The Sports and GTIs have a shallower wheel well which can only accomodate space savers in order to make room for the central exhaust right?Yeah I guess I can source someone to reshape it for me, just need to find an exhaust for a good price first 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamnugz Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 You also need to think about weather the power will decrease, if you put a Sport or GTI exhaust on it, as you may loose back pressure as the exhausts on Sports or GTI exhausts, are made for the much more powerful car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
