Sure it will pass with flying colours

Mine was a couple of weeks back, but it passed with no problems, all done for another year.

New brakes and fluid next, theres always something isnt there

 

[allallyouyou]

I agree! there is always something ready and waiting! lol

(probably what Arosa stands for in Greek Myths or something?) lol

How did the MOT go Nic ??

 

[lunalupi]

Hallelujah, He passed! No sunstrip anymore, because they had to fail him for it - but they took it off and passed him

He feels much better now too - they tweaked his timing, tightened his handbrake, and sharpened up his brakes too, so driving much better

Tip top wohoo !!! What did they say about his sunstrip

 

[Ibiza Monkey]

Tip top wohoo !!! What did they say about his sunstrip

Probably something like "You don't need it as we haven't had any sun yet"
Great news its passed Nic.
Mines hibernating now, it only comes out on special occasions (company motor). But at least i can spend more money on it and keep it clean.

Tip top wohoo !!! What did they say about his sunstrip

its illegal to have a sun strip that goes more than 10mm into the stroke of the wipers , so the sunstrip must of went more than that . 2 ways round it ,

1 - get a smaller sun strip
2 - get shorter wipers

 

[lunalupi]

Option 1 - not happening, it'd only be about 1 inch deep

Option 2 - tried it, the wipers have to be 11" long BUt over the next year I am going to modify some regular wiper *arms* to be about 6" shorter! Got 12 months to engineer it, even if I have to phisically chop and reweld them....

Its not too dark anyways so should get away with it on a sunny day I just managed to get 14 marshmallows in my mouth

 

[1litre wonder]

GG were you playing fluffy bunnies i take it

 

[Boo]

You bet !! I was sick after and then tried it with extra strong mints. Managed to get 8 in my mouth before my eyes felt like they were bleeding !!!

Crumbs what alot of new Arosa owners joining up this week. Which one of you has been in the streets in tights playing the pipe then ?

 

[SoozArosa]

hehe, well I feel quite at home already I must say. None of my mates tend to love my car as much as I do

 

[Boo]

Your definately in the right place he he he !!

 

[lunalupi]

It wasn't me! Hello new owners - welcome

I love my car too

ARGH!!!!! i have managed to get a set of 15" Arosa sport alloys dirt cheap but the down side is 2 need a slight refurbing but nobody can do the satin finish on them , one wheel refurber specialises in powder coating but doesnt have a satin finish option so thats a no , then the body shops have said they would just use a matt laquer so im not so sure if it would turn out the same only other choice would be to change there colour but then they would be harder to sell on cause people would then think they were the Ibiza alloys

oh on a side note ikkle 'rosa *might* be getting replaced soon , im just getting fed up of no power

 

[Boo]

What are you thinking of getting ? Im getting a little tired of driving an automatic, went out for a nice long drive in the punto sunday and came back got in my car and felt relieved !! It was so uncomfortable, have to drive with the steering wheel in my chest to reach the pedals. I wanted more power but, went out an bough a new drill instead

 

[1litre wonder]

oh the number of BAD puns that could be brought in right now but i shall keep it clean ...

...for now ...

im thinking either a LCR ( 225bhp old shape ) a new polo GTi or a black Lupo GTi and booking it in for some work straight away

My friend used to live in Motherwell he got the wheels on his bike powder coated by a company called ESP powdercoating. They did a satin finish on his wheels for him. You could try giving them a call.

 

[1litre wonder]

see the funny part is , i live 3miles from ESP and i dropped in and they no longer do satin finish
