Got myself a Ford Focus ST 3 Door
I wish I could keep the wee Arosa as it feels like part of the family, hopefully it will go to a good home.

Our 1.4 MPI Auto - 1998 (Terrible Pic, but all I have at the moment!)

Cheers,
Stu

ps. that's my Fabia vRS in front!

 

[Boo]

Looks nice and clean Stu Will look even cleaner in the summer I can imagine. My car is in a shocking state at the moment and with the weather being cold I have no incentive to go out freeze my arse off and wash it. Got any pics of the Fabia ?

 

[StuM]

Certainly do - just the one handy:

Not as clean as it could be in this one though!

Cheers,
Stu

Very nice indeedy Pretty pic too - where was it taken ? Apart from on a beach

Before:

Heres another of mine more recently

Just updating more of the interior now hopefully!

 

[1litre wonder]

is that fiat hubcaps ??

 

[Boo]

Im liking the wind deflectors Was debating whether to get some or not. Think I may have to though !

 

[Rattic]

is that fiat hubcaps ??

haha, no. They're these:

Ideally I'd have alloys, but it bein my first car insurance is enough as it is, and I cant even look after hub caps...I've scuffed em already, lol


Wind deflectors fitted really well. Bought Heko ones off Ebay from Germany.

 

[StuM]

I wonder whether you could spray part of these black as per this image:

Cheers,

[Rattic]

I dont see why you couldnt. Those particular areas would be easy enough to mask off. Ya can get these caps in white too. Might get a set of those in the summer.

I really like that colour, why isnt mine that colour

So you have added, wind deflectors, chrome handles, new wheel trims and rear mudflaps? are you getting the front mudflaps to match?

Ive thought about some wind deflectors for mine a few times but im not sure, they do look smart though.

Not thought about some alloys for it? there are some 14" arosa S/Sport wheels on Clublupo for sale atm!

 

[1litre wonder]

yeah ive got a set of standard arosa S alloys for sale they shouldnt effect your insurance as they are standard SEAT wheels

theres also the smaller beesting aerial (though the original was great tbh), and unlike most people who seem to want to remove them, I actually added the side mouldings since I have to park in a tight driveway n didnt want to scuff the doors on the wall.

I was under the impression that adding alloys when they're not standard on my particular model increased the value of the car and therefore the chances of someone being inclined to rob it increase too? May have to look into that.

Might give the alloys a think for a while. I scuffed the trims only a couple of weeks ago on the curb. I've only been driving regularly for about 5 months now. Don't wanna fork out for alloys only to wreck em!

May eventually get the front mud guards....had enough trouble fitting the rear ones....one of em is held on by one screw, lol!

I did notice the bumpstrips Im pleased I kept mine as they have come in handy a few times. I can see the aesthetic reasons for removing them but, they are there for a very good reason - trolleys and supermarket carparks !!!

Depending on your insurance company you may not pay a huge ammount for adding alloys to your car. Some insurance companies go by the value of the actual alloys and others just have a standard increment. I found with my insurance company (Tesco and no none of this 'value' stuff) that I can add modifications up to the value of £3k as long as its no performance mods. My insurance went up by £58 for the addition of my modifications.

If you have rear front guards the front ones are a must. They are a little more fiddly to fit but, if you read the instructions you can get them fitted in about 10 minutes. They dont have the Seat logo on them so you could probably get away with getting a universal set.

Right - spent a couple of hours cleaning and polishing her today (brrr - a bit chilly) and here are some better pics!

How is the aerial for signal strength?

I dont blame you for adding the side trims, as you might have seen on the first page of this thread ive added the exact SEAT logo'd ones to my silver Arosa, my black one has a dink or two since it hasnt any

If you fit the standard 14" Arosa alloys i wouldnt even say anything to the insurance company TBH, id just say i thought they were standard, must have been an option i didnt know it had!. Not 100% honest but they are standard wheels.

I love the practicality of trims though, i do a load of town driving so a load of parking too and very ocassionally i get a bit close to the curb when parking, but they still look smart, only a few marks on them. However its mainly my mum who curbs them since she now uses my silver 1.0 Arosa, so ive put all the best alloys on my car to save therims

I actually bought some 13" steel wheels with the Seat trims for her to have on and she could scuff them as much as she liked, but it looked so naff compared to its usual standard alloys i had to get rid of them! They look much better on 14" steels, so if i find some of those i might get them.

Front mudflaps are a must! They protect the sills from stone chips and help keep the sides clean too. They are quite easy to fit too.
