Arosa Repair Thread

[lunalupi]

Well....it would have been rude not to get a few extra things I wanted done

 

[gazjones]

dont blame you you had the rear bumper done as well? looks really nice now nic

 

[lunalupi]

Yep - good thing too, the garage discovered that the argument we had with a van last year had crumpled in my crash bar! So thats replaced and strong again now

 

[gazjones]

ah cool is the rest of the car being cut back to match that super shiney front end?

 

[lunalupi]

Rest of the car hasn't been touched - although he's in such good condition a good clean and polish will bring it up to match!

 

[gazjones]

cant wait to see out come, has the smoothing cost you much more than it would have if it was just sprayed?

 

[lunalupi]

Not much more, about £50, and he sprayed up my wing mirrors too.

 

[gazjones]

cant complain about that then thats a good price. is the bottom of the rear bumper still plastic colour?

 

[lunalupi]

Yep, I decided to buck the trend and stick with unpainted lowers. Couldn't get the idea I wanted for the front to work in reality so decided to leave it rather than compromise

 

[gazjones]

you had the exhaust cut oyt done again then and neatened up?

 

[lunalupi]

Must have done - bumper won't fit without cutting the exhaust bits out!

 

[Ibiza Monkey]

Is that you back on the stand at ulimate dubs then?

 

[lunalupi]

No, unfortunately My place is already filled

But I did cheekily email the organisers and say I'd be there if anyone dropped out of the top 100 show and shine

Nic, to say Im impressed would be an understatement!!
the 'turn-around' has been phenominal and the work seems to be of the highest order.. you were right to keep your motor. I was really saddened the day I sold my 'Red-shed' as I had done so much to it, it felt 'me' in a sense.. the Cupra (cat 'C') that replaced it didnt.. but has started to recently..still a touch of bodywork left to do then get the respraying done got a few little ideas too that will hopefully come to fruition.

just saying to the missus, I understand your sentiments re your 'baby'.. they can get that way, cant they she also said would it be worth me taking my car to Liec's to get the sprayig done there as he's done such a good job of your.

 

[lunalupi]

Look whos baaaaack

With a few alterations:

So extremely happy right now, I'm grinning like a cheshire cat. Doesn't he look lovely

 

[UncleFester]

He looks a whole lot better Nic, no more swirls either!

 

[m0rk]

smoothed bumpers? looks great

 

[lunalupi]

Yep, smoothed bumpers, and colour coded wing mirrors. They used a bit of fibreglass on the bumpers too, to make them stand up to flexing a bit better.

And I would definatly recommend them to anyone. They've done a grear job in a very short amount of time!

 

[Martin M]

Looks awesome!
