Boo's MintGrün MK1 Arosa - small update

[brightsideteeem]

Thank for all your nice comments. It may not have a big impressive all powerful engine, shiny alloys or perfect bodywork but, it still puts a smile on my face.

same as my polo haha, nice work on the roof. The car is a testament to you. Some good old fashioned graft gone into it, well in

lovin' that vinyl roof, looks great

Well done boo how hard is it to put on your self does it bubble etc ?

I will quote Brummy and say - lots of suds. I smeared the roof with washing up liquid and then sprayed a solution of the same in my water sprayer. Makes it easy to lift and slide about. I had to get my Dad to hold one end, I held the other and we placed it on the top. Was pretty smooth running from there. Takes a good couple of hours to smooth all the liquid out from underneath.

The roof and door pillars look great. . Makes me more tempted to get my roof done black or something now.

Tbh Im exactly the same with my Ibiza, only has a 1.4 engine in it but it always puts a smile on my face when I drive it.

[Aimez]

Wicked!!! Well don for doing it on your own can't wait to see it Thursday!

 

[Boo]

I found a mintgrun Arosa parked outside Staples today ! Oh my god !! I parked next to it and Im not biased but, mine does look much better

Im quite happy with the way she sits and although stance is a huge deal for some people, I have a huge speedbump to get over at work.

 

[Aimez]

ew the rear light on that one are yuk and your sits low compared the back of that one.

I refitted it after that was taken. I took the lightbrows off because they would not stick on properly and just looked poop. Still have them somewhere though. Going to attempt installing HID's at some point prior to winter and also sort out my coolant leak.

 

[Boo]

I did measure the amount my car was lowered by and even though it doesn't look lowered its gone down by 44mm which, isnt bad at all.

 

[Aimez]

I think it looks way lower than that one form the back especially

 

[brightsideteeem]

HID's is a relatively easy mod, and deffo worthwhile. I put mine on in the Leon just before winter and I was made up lol, that and aero wipers are both money well spent, if you havent got them yet

 

[Aimez]

Yep once you get HIDs you can never go back, easy just plug them in can only plug them in one way anyway!

 

[brightsideteeem]

yuhp. the only fiddley bit was on the back of the housing on the Leon headlights. Its a solid cover so you have to be careful you dont trap anything lol, that and hiding the ballast boxes. I had one zip tied to the top rad hose for a while rofl just dangling there haha, i dont recomend that.

 

[Aimez]

I bought slim line ones they fit in the headlight so no need to cut holes in headlight covers/backs

 

[Boo]

I have valeo wiper blades on at the moment. The actual aero arms and blades to fit the Arosa are £130 !!!

 

[Aimez]

yeh I have aerotwin retro fit ones need new ones they are smearing but think will wait for Autumn now.

 

[brightsideteeem]

these were slimline ballasts, but they still wouldnt fit in because i was trying to hide all the wiring aswell haha
