Hy everyone!
I am a member for some time now, and I think maybe it is the time to share my car with You. It's nothing special, but I like it!;)

It is a combination od Forge Silicon hoses and a K&N RF-1047 Carbon filter!
The carrier is custom made!
Here's a pic!

I am looking at doing this myself - seen 3 LCR now with angel eyes and HID installed and i REALLY like the look of it.
Did you have HID fitted in the original lights before going to the angel eyes and if so, did you notice any improvement in the beam pattern?

Like the yellow calipers! Look smart, were they a pain to paint?
fokusicar

I took them off and painted them in a chamber, like any other car part...
The twin exhausts look strangely lovely... I never thought I'd like twin exhausts that someone put on their car but they work really well!
I tip my hat to you !
Fantastic looking car and looks stunning against that backdrop.
Love the lights, make a real difference.

Very nice, like the twin exhaust.
She looks great!
Love the location!
Wish we had places like that around here, might go for a drive a take some photo's now... been inspired!
very smart, looks very nice, liking the rear exhausts too

Do you have any close up pics of the calipers? was it a case of powder coating them?
I think they look smart!

Like your car, especally the exhausts, did you just cut a hole in the other side for the extra one or did you have something fabricated?

The back end is a JE-Design spoiler for the Seat Altea mounted on the stock bumper.

Thtas really nice. You say the back is a spoiler for the Altea mounted on the bumper, is that the black bit and have you replace the original black bit from the original bumper??

remodeled bumper and exhaust look spot on!

Lovely car mate!!!! I want to ask 2 questions if you don't mind.
Far as I know is a litle hard to mount the rihgt exhaust pipe because of the spare wheel location, do you have a normal size spare wheel?
Regarding the Eibach springs I've purchased the Pro-kit model and I'm not pleased with the ride hight, I want to go lower and I've seen that Eibach Sportline springs lower very diferently the front from the rear (45-50mm front, 30mm rear) and that's the rison I've chosen Pro-kit. I see your car has the same front and rear ride hight. Did you make any other modifications?
Hope not to bother you with my questions and you'l excuse my poor engleash
Best regardes!!!!

Yellow calipers look a lot nicer than the red ones on the Oniv Yellow LCR's [B)]
Great photo's and location
Twin exhausts look really cool considering I usually hate them lol...
Engine bay looks nice & tidy too especially with the K&N installed! :clap:
*EDIT* Only suggestion I'd make...Change the aerial for a smaller one!
Odlično! :)
Looks really really good.

The spare wheel is a normal size, You have to remodel the silencer...
I use Sportline and the car is straight, it lowers 50 front and 50 back...:redface:

as with Dan_smith replace the aerial for a Civic Type R version and you got a winner :D

Fokusicar - Are you using standard shocks on your LCR? The ride height looks perfect considering it's springs!! Top pics aswell....

Standard shocks on these pics!
The yellow is definately growing on me

ovni yellow LCR is my dream and fokusicar you have the best LCR iv erver seen!
just subtle mods and it looks brilliant
the twin exhausts look too good, gives the lcr an even more powerful look
just plain royal wicked
awesome pictures and car mate. i didn't think a twin exit exhaust would look right on a LCR, but i was wrong!
this bloke knows how to make a car look sweet..

The car is sitting nice and low and you have managed to avoid the back end looking lower than the front which is good. Even the twin exhaust looks good (i'm not normally a fan)
Needs a nice set of 19inch BBS CH alloys now ;)
The graphics on the side are not to my taste but otherwise it's looking very good

Did you ever try the sportline's yourself? Surely they would both be -50mm springs, having 50mm at the front and 30mm at the back would just look silly.
Very nice car BTW FOKUSICAR :).
That's one fantastic looking LCR!
Looks like you've got spacers in the back with those 18" Cupra R's on the 1st page pics. I was just wondering how wide are them spacers?

Just checked the DPM Website and hes right its only 50mm front and 35mm rear they offer, even just called to double check!!
