C2ology's Arosa...(Arosa Project Updates 07.05.09)

[c2ology]

When all the way to ipswich on sunday night and got this...

(Y) 2001 Seat Arosa 1.4 16v (100bhp) Full Service & Mot history and HPI checked. He advertised it for £2650 i managed to get him down to £2080 due to the fact there was a lil parking scratch in the wear bumper and passenger window didn't open. But my mate gave the window a push today it worked again.

Looked in the user guide to find out that first owner was from Eastbourne and the car was from Seat Hastings. Basically brought the car back down south.

I had to get another insurance policy out and wasn't allow to use my no claims again as it was on my C2. But was only qouted £475 fully comp for the year.

What a mint car, i love them, get it lowered and some nice euro alloys on it.

[c2ology]

yep only doing some basic mods to make it stand out abit.

Lowering
Tints
Induction Kit
Wheels
Exhaust

It handles pretty good for what it is. Very lights as there is no massive door cards and that.

[xander_TT]

wicked little motor mate like it :D

[Danny]

Nice and tidy, would have look better in a different colour mind :)

[Craig]

HAHA cooool!

[davec2furio]

Cool car, should look good with the mods

[Carlosjpt]

looks great! and is faster than the c2...lol if only citroen had a 1.4 100 bhp engine!:(

[c2ology]

Nice and tidy, would have look better in a different colour mind :)

Thats the only problem danny when buying a used car.

But remember i'm doing painting and airbrush at college so i can change the colour of it. Can also use it part of my assignment.

[spooky_fish]

is it quicker that a VTR?? i hop not! grrrr

[Jaimz]

[petrolhead]

[Danny]

Something to support the headlights i guess ;)

[Maleko]

LOL danny!

nice lil motor!

[davec2furio]

I think a bonnet bra prevents stone chips on the bonnet..... i think??

[c2ology]

I think a bonnet bra prevents stone chips on the bonnet..... i think??

indeed!

[c2ology]

I found some induction kits for the Arosa 1.4 16v, but not sure what brands are good or even worth getting? can some body help?

Induction Kit

Pipercross £70.99
K&N 57i Induction Kit £58.99
Powertec £94.99

Panel Filter

DNX Rectangular Panel Air filter £39.99

What you peeps reckon i should do?

James

[parksey]

panel filter all the way!!!!

check out this website, he talks how 1.4 engines benefit most from having panel filters not induction kits :-D

Induction (http://www.torquecars.com/tuning/induction-kits.php)

[c2ology]

got new wipers, panel filter and exhaust coming for my Arosa!

I'm gonna give it a full respray at college after xmas! gonna smooth off everything and make it look smooth euro style! awesome!

[chilun73]

sounds good mate!

[chambers]

sounds great mate, get a progress thread started

[c2ology]

got some many projects going on i don't know where to start lol! luckly i got 18 other people helping me with these and 3 pros.

[c2ology]

Just painted my engine cover in the work shop! I done it with a spray gun so it's better out come then a spray can.

It is actually red by the way my camera keep picking it up in pink.

http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a274/c2ology2/P310108_1056.jpg

[chilun73]

that looks really good mate! nice job!

[Maleko]

pro job! nice one

[c2ology]

Got bored in the workshop the other day so i painted my engine plastic cover.

this is how i did it.

1) Remove cover screws with a 5mm allen key.

(Pop out the badges)

2) Used a scotch pad to key the surface of the cover, at the same time you could use panel wipe. Panel wipe will clean off any oils or dirt from the engine.

3) Plastic piimer it putting 3 coats on max.

4) Used 800grit wet and dry paper wet sanding all the bumps that maybe in the pimer. By now it should be all smooth.

5) Panel wipe it again so it clean and ready for the paint.

6) Mix your 2K paint together. Spray one light coat and one heavry coat of paint.

[davec2furio]

Looks cool :)

[chambers]

like it mate, like the way the leads go across the top

[dan_n_zoe]

nice lil car, how comes SEAT manage to squeeze an extra 10BHP out of their 1.4 16V but Citroen can't?!

[c2ology]

next month also i'm gonna make it look euro! i'm going to smooth off all the bumper side strips off. I do all this for free. all good!

[chambers]

What colour you thinkin of paintin it mate?

[c2ology]

I'm gonna keep it grey/silver. Maybe a gun metal colour.

[Ribena]

lookin good dude. cant wait till all the smoothing is done! nicx

[ellis]

looks good mate keep this as a progress thread :D

[spooky_fish]

nice lil car, how comes SEAT manage to squeeze an extra 10BHP out of their 1.4 16V but Citroen can't?!

cos citroen is 8v not 16v (unless your on about the citroen stop start)

[dan_n_zoe]

Ahhh must have been thinking of the Stop and Start... why the hell they not put the 16v in all the other 1.4s?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[c2ology]

I started to remove the bump strips down the side of the Arosa today and briefly cleaned the engine bay.

http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a274/c2ology2/020220081034.jpg

Cover is not pink today awesome!

More to come...

[Craig]

aww little engine!

[c2ology]

aww little engine!

Biggest they got on the Arosa, i really wanted a 1.6 Lupo but i choose this for a run about.

I'm tempted with a Golf.

[c2ology]

My Euro Style Project starts this week, going to removel all dents this week and smooth off the main body work.

I'm gonna do it around my free time so this project could take me right up to the summer.

[davec2furio]

Will be a cool little car once finished.
You dropping it on coilovers?
Should get a set of them JOM ones, they are quite cheap. Is meant to be a seller on ebay who is accepting down to £160 for them. They are meant to be good value for money. Alot of people on one of the VAG websites have them. Check them out.

[c2ology]

yeah coilover for arosa only £300 odd.

[c2ology]

Think i'm getting Ronal R10 Turbo your style wheels for it.

Started to smooth the side of the car now then i need to work out best way to smooth bumpers.

Gonna be awesome!

[mule]

Do it, those wheels are nice, i used to have them on my golf

[c2ology]

just found a debadge grill for £27 wonder if thats good price just for a debaged front grill.

[davec2furio]

Ronal turbo's will look the nuts mate ;)

[c2ology]

Right spent about 4hours or so in the workshop making a start on my front bumper.

Took me like 20/25 mins to work out where the screws was to remove the front bumper in the end i got there so wasn't too bad. Making sure i kept all the screws and bits in a mixing cup. (kept kicking it over lol)

Then got a air saw/blade cutter out and cut the section that needed to be out and welded back.

Once i got the sections out i got some 80grit sandpaper and remove the paint off the bit i'm gonna plastic weld to. The sections that i cut out i also grinded slight smaller.

Now i had to check on the back of the bumper to see what plastic rods i needed for this sort of plastic which was PP. Some plastic bumpers are made out of ABS plastic.

This bit took me ages needed 2 people to help me hold the piece in place whiles i tack it in place. One it's tacked i stared to plastic weld it all the way round making sure it was strong enough.

Whiles i was welding it i welded the two sections of the bumper together.

Below is some pictures of my bumper so far.

http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a274/c2ology2/P130208_155701.jpg

Whiles i was doing that got someone to remove my side bump strips with a hot air gun.

http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a274/c2ology2/P130208_155702.jpg

Next step is to fibreglass filler the section over then a fine layer of bodyfiller to smooth it off.

more updates coming soon.

James

[ellis]

[c2ology]

All i could tint the fog lamps black so it blend in with the bottom grill.

Debadge grill and new look euro stars plate coming on it.

[chambers]

looks fantastic mate, would tinting the fog lights cause problems for the MOT? Only just noticed that you said painting it didnt cost you anything, cant be bad :-p

[MRHBLUE2]

Looking really cool there buddy

Excellent results !!!

[CE08LDB]

Looking Really smart well done

[c2ology]

James

[chambers]

[c2ology]

the difference is that the ones that was on there before are broken. Think stone or something has crack the lens. Well i brought it like it so not my fault.

James

[RAY-C]

this i looking fair sexy. black roof would look good imo

[Craig]

Needs a set of coilovers on defo!

other than that looks sweet!

[c2ology]

black roof and bonnet is on the agenda.

going to lower it as well. this whole project is done on a low budget. I haven't actually brought anything for it yet. Alpine System don't count as a mod does it? lol

James

[Simon72]

Like the blending work there JIN, but IMO paint the centre caps, looks a little tacky.

[davec2furio]

Black roof and coilovers and your onto a winner ;) i would spray the centre caps black or even run the wheels without them on

[Hitty86]

agreed with above, spray the centre caps or get rid, other than that it looks mint!

[DavyMUFCVTR]

Looks sound that mate well done, i recon them wheels will look better without the centre cap mate, seams ya got rid of the badge at the front might as well get rid of the ones on the wheels

[R2-C2]

Stop being gay, for it to be a real euro car its gotta be dropped on coilovers or air as low as it will go!! Just get a set of them JOM ones or what ever they are called. Are about 200 quid.

[c2ology]

Come out of work this evening to find someone has hit my recent painted euro style bumper!

[ellis]

Ah shit mate hope you can fix it with little cost...

[lip_vts]

gutter mate you think youll be able to sort it out with your own skills?

[c2ology]

gutter mate you think youll be able to sort it out with your own skills?

yeah i should be able to do it, i'm the one who created the bumper the first place.

[Fryer]

[c2ology]

[c2ology]

Doing the sides next and roof going matt black

[Simon72]

Is it me or the light, looks as if the top of the rear bumper isn't sitting correctly, looks as if your top lip is above the bottom of the boot line??

But it looks good never the less

[gregwVTS]

Aye I was thinking that, have you tried opening the boot yet? :P, but yes it makes it look ten times better.

[c2ology]

For some reason i don't know why my boot has moved to the left abit i need to re-aline it at some point.

I think the heat has force the rear bumper out of shape abit at the top. I might take it off and put a heat gun to it to push it backdown in the centre of the bumper.

Rear door opens fine it doesn't touch the bumper.

I've started doing the side already but weather been so poor.

James

[c2ology]

The side had a couple of dents removed as well as the factory line.

http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a274/c2ology2/Image020-1.jpg

[Simon72]

Looking good, IMO the bottom sills that you can see I wouldpaing Black to hide the rough look.

[WelshC2]

Looks good Jun, but as Si said paint them bottom sills black and i was lsightly confused when i was looking at the rear wheel arch of the car as it doesnt seem contoured to the wheel.

i have got a tin of black hammerite for the bottom sill, i been meaning to do for ages, but i had to paint the car first otherwise defeats the object.

All Arosas are like that with the wheel arch.

Would look great lowered, is that in your plans?

After Easter i'm going to do a full repaint again, cus the panels don't seem to match each other.

thort u didnt want extra weight? gunna have 3 ton of paint on it!! lol. alloys look good.

[jnc90]

Looking good! I love these little things! lol, what size engine isi?

If i were u the next step would be some smooth rounded side skirts to cover the sills and maybe a little lip like the one on the Lupo GTi but then that might ruin the Euro look! Either way I'd also do a black roof and then u got a really nice looking EU Arosa! :)
