Arosa.Al's Blackpudlian Arosa Mk2

Hi!

I have a 2004 Seat Arosa Mk2 in flash red 1.0 MPI

She's not very modded at the moment, did have 40mm springs on but they had to come off I have lots of plans though!

When I got it:



40mm Springs go on in August at my cousin's in Darlington



I debadged the rear and sprayed the front grill matt black

Some shots at Durham Tees Valley Airport





Shot at Newcastle Airport and my cousin


Smoked rear windows


Back in Blackpool, had a wash!

Cleaned my left rear light

Before:


After:


Debadged rear


Nice and clean, bar the wheels :L


Now the 40mm springs come off, standard go on

Bought some fogs!


More recently, I removed my pollen filter and washed it. Then bought a new one!



I covered my roof lining!

After:


Plans:

Lower!

Colour code front and rear bumpers

New rear lights

Wire rear speakers

New wheels

Red Tim Tom Lupo seats

Flocked door cards and parcel shelf

Gloss black centre console

Boot build

I will update when I can!

Thanks

It's your car but Arosa's don't look right with lower parts of the bumpers painted, everything else sounds good


Keep it up

Im in 2 minds, i've photoshopped a couple of times but not sure. smoothed bumpers look better, your sig! !

Yea smoothed is good, ive yet to get it done, trying to find front bumper, but there hard to come by and for the rear you just use a lupo rear bumper as its already smoothed, apart from the bumpers my car will be oem

Theres a arosa on CL with painted lower bumpers and it just doesn't look right

+1, that bit if black at the bottom makes the car look smaller. Otherwise imo they look a bit chubby.

Nice colour though!

Does the lupo rear bumper go on no problem?

Yep goes on no problem.

There's only the front wings, bonnet grill front bumper, dash on a Arosa that different oh plus the rear boot, as we have rap around glass everthing else is the same, look at the wiring it wil have vw on it lol, but a little history do you know the MK1 Arosa came out before the lupo

I didn't but now I do! I will consider the rear bumper, I like it!

How about colour coding just the rear and leaving the front just smoothed?

Arosa were 97 loops two years later if I recall...

You do what you like

Can I ask which Arosa it is? And why are you waiting for another bumper?

So I can get it smoothed and so my original is a spare

And do you mean what model is my Arosa?

Ah right. No I meant which Arosa on CL has its bumpers coloured, I know of a couple.

It's a tdi, he's just got it back on the road, sliver one

Delivery today! Gti sun visors, centre light, grab handles and rear speakers!

Nice, where you get all this from?

Oops sorry!
