Josh's MK1 Leon Cupra R 225
Few more little updates, the wheels are no longer being done in the quartz, they are now being in ford moo dust silver or something. I've only done one and haven't got a photo yet. The car does now have 3 different shades of wheel paint though as the spare will stay that quartz.
This is the colour they will be.
This was delivered, so started degreasing and sanding it.
I did it in wrinkle black vht, rubbish picture but it's come out pretty well, few smooth areas but I'll sort it tomorrow. It's still wet here too.
This was yesterday's and today's little project.
Removing the paint took ages! Must have cooked it being under the bonnet for 9 years!
Finally fitted with a polish using a drill, a metal buffing pad and some autosol. For a first time I'm really chuffed! I'll get it off at some point because I'm going to spray the hook for the hoses black, and the charge pipe support black.
Also spotted this, I know I've got a leak but pretty sure it's not from here.... Got to forge tomorrow for the black set if they've got them in. May get some more too as it's payday
Finally, I look like a taxi driver of chav because I've ordered the wrong colour! More on their way though so don't worry!
Oh, standard legal plates went on as I got pulled. Gayyyyyy
That's it for now, I'll slow time get the wheels done and I've STILL got a leak coming from n/s/f door! They're sealed ott with silicone, only thing I haven't tried is the door seal blocking the drain.... Any ideas as it worked on the driver door and I sealed all 4 on my tdi!
