last night i was driveing along a small country road and come to what i thourt was a little bit water with a thin layer of ice on it, i couldnt of been more rong lol. so i slowed down to about 3 or 4 mph got about 12 foot in and the water was just below my drivers window with my lights and grill braking the ice witch was about half an intch thick, only just managed to get thru it, when i got out i looked to see what damage the ice had done and it has smashed the indicator caseing on the drivers side and smashed my carbon fiber grill :(, about 10miles later i turned off the car witch wouldn't start again but lucky enuf i was on a hill so managed to bump it, so tuck the car home and left it all day and it starts like normal now. morel of the story dont use an arosa as a boat lol.

does any 1 have a MK1 grill or indicator caseing there wanna sell ?

Wow, you got off lucky there, if any water had of been sucked into your air intake you would be needing a new engine now!

Weather is horendous atm, i was on a very flooded road the other day, if it was any worse i would have needed a boat and not the arosa :lol:
