Candy White MK4 FR

[HeronFR]

Been on the forum for a good few months now and never got round to making one of these, so here we go...

Car is a MK4 Candy White FR PD130. Stage 1 remap done before I bought it, running around 170bhp and averaging between 55-65mpg!

First things first, change the awful headlight bulbs... Bought some 6K HIDs. Looks so much better!
There was also some yellow tint on the fogs which I removed. Hate that stuff.

Also fitted some very bright LEDs to the rear number plate, which I'll upload a pic of when it's dark!


De-badged next. Poor picture that was actually taken to take the p*ss out of my parking! I have no up to date pictures.

That's all for now, but my list is;

- Private Reg Plate - S19 AEH (D.O.B & initials) only £250!
- Coilovers or lowering springs & shocks 40-50mm (undecided)
- 20mm spacers at the back
- Wind Deflectors
- Remove decals
- Spray door strips white
- Tint windows and rear lights
- Spray all grey parts of the car black (Rear bumper, grilles etc.)
- Wrap/spray door handles black
- Wrap roof & spoiler black
- MK5 FR Steering wheel
- Cupra handbrake and gearstick covers
- LCR splitter
- Mufflerectomy or Powerflow straight through (also undecided, thoughts appreciated)
- PD160 intake
- Cone filter for that extra sound (opinions also welcome)
- Large brakes, probably TT (?) and sprayed calipers (Red?)

Unlikely but hopefully;

- Cruise control
- Parking sensors
- Rear view camera
- White Rota Grids(?)

Any other recommendations welcome and appreciated! More pics to come!

I like, very much. No doubt you've seen the sensors and rear view camera on mine! There's also a guy on here that's retrofitted cruise for around £100.

Can't go wrong with TT brakes, they're a good upgrade and IMO look much better as well. The Cupra brakes are even better, but hard to come by.

I think I would go with silver wheels and red calipers, I'm not a huge fan of white on white.

Also, stubby aerial!

Another white mk4

If you are going to spray side strips white id maybe leave the door handles white. Saying that, i have the opposite... gloss black side strips and white handles

You should also do the wheel centre caps in black

I absolutely love your car! It's exactly how I want mine, apart from the side strips white!

I'm not a very handy person. Total noob when it comes to doing it all myself. Really need to find someone who can do all this sh*t for me for some cash! Garages are too expensive...

 

[mcd90]

Same here. I'd love to be able to do everything myself but most of the stuff that's been done has been at a garage or similar.

Spacers and wind deflectors are a piece of piss though.

Taking the airbox out to put a cone filter on is pretty easy as well. Few bolts to take out and a jubilee clip to put on. The guides on here are quite good.

Had a decent clean today and took my vinyl strips off... Looks so much better without them! (They were on when I bought the car)
