WetmonkeyTDI Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 Just looking into buying a front fog light kit for the Arosa - i was servicing the TDI when i noticed tha both left hand and right hand side vents of the front bumper are held in by 1 screw each - surely to replace with front fogs must be a doddle!Anyone looked into this before??

Ramirez Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 Its not quite that easy, but close to it. The lower part is also held on with with a couple more bolts. If your car is a Mk2 Arosa its even easier, just unclip the 2 side scoops and replace with foglight apertures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArosaPD Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 This was one of the first mods I done to mine. I just mounted a 4ra relay behind the battery, run the wires inside to the switch, one to the battery and the other to the fog lamps, but the switch must be illuminated when they are on or it is an MOT failure!! (something worth remembering). style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":confused:" border="0" alt="confused.gif" /> Piece of cake to fit. For wiring purposes I removed the front lower (only took about 5 minutes). Just a case of removing about 2 or 3 M25 torq screws under each of the front arches and the self tapper screw holding the lower tray type efforts. Then go under the front of the car and pull out about 5 or 6 black clips that run across the front lower bumper (just prize them out gently with a screwdriver). The bumper ends need gently pulling out from their clips and the bumper just comes away, easy peasy!!Mark style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The subtle modder Posted September 11, 2005 Report Share Posted September 11, 2005 i was just about to ask this exact question as i thought they looked pretty smart on the sports and i miss my fogs from having them on my cinq but are the sport fogs any good honestly? becaus on my cinq i fitted 'Hella cruise lights' which were brilliant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
