VW Stew's Arosa 1.4 16v sport -Dead or dying

I agree tbf, i was a new exhaust that looks nice but i dont want the noise that comes with it lol. Pointless me having an exhaust that sounds like a ferrari when my car is a skoda with a HUGE 68bhp lol

Exactly, that's why i love my air filter, its just about silent when your driving normally, but then as soon as you give it some stick it sounds awesome, best of both worlds, but mahoosive exhausts scream and shout all the time, which like you say isn't really necessary in cars like these

Finally got some proper pictures off my camera of the Arosa along with my mate's corsa, most of em came out good to say my car was actually pretty filthy

nice mate. i really love them wheels your running. imagine they fairly rare too!

Cheers, yeah ive only ever seen another couple of arosas with them on so they seem quite rare, been debating whether to do them black at some point though.

nooooooooooo not black lol. go for oem. u been hanging around woth that Corsa friend too much haha

fair enough lol!!

Right, seeing as the snow decided to turn my car into some sort of weird van

i cba really going out in snow, plus not getting many hours at work ive had time to do a bit of painting, today done interior grab handles, maybe more tomorrow
7ish coats of silver wheel paint
5 ish coats of laquer
Leave to dry for a couple of hours

not really good enough so.........
Wetsand with 1500 grit
Compound with Meg's ultimate compound
2 coats of AG SRP
2 coats of collinite wax, not perfect, but a prettey good finish


and on the car

looks good man! i hate snow cant wait until it fucks off lol

Cheers, yeah i know it looks nice for about a day then starts gettin boring an i dont like going out in it in case i crash lol!

So today, my Arosa decided to die, going along the motorway and dicover i have no power, pull off with a misfiring, horrendous sounding engine and get to a bus stop, call the AA man who comes and looks and discovers one of the spark plugs is causing a misfire, triesd to get it out only to discover it wont come out probably cos the thread is trashed, so I have to be towed 80 odd miles home and now most probably have to drill the plug out and try and sort the thread, or mayyyyybe get a new engine if its cheaper??

orr no way mate :/ always bad to hear of an injured car.. hope it gets fixed mate

Well seeing as my car isn't going anywhere any time soon i though it might as well get a good clean up, starting with a good wash then compound, polish and 3 coats of wax.

dunno if i can really tell much difference but here is a before and after on the door

before


after


and a couple more reflection shots
