Tyrer's LCR : 225 : Stage 1 :

[t32er]

damn my slow typing!

Ive also decided on the OEM double din conversion and OEM satnav.... just need to get a spare £500 now

i shall use my hiden power for you, some say its a tallent sent from the gods to protect and suport people with less money than others,
but i call it "£bayfoo"
oh i will show up at yours one day and take you up on the cleaning, (would be worth the trip, 1 to learn, 2 to learn 3 to meet a fellow member and lastly to um.....well learn

 

[t32er]

im still thinking about the wheels, on yours i think a darker silver...
mine im thinking gloss black

 

[tyrer]

Yeah that's my thinking.... But then do I have to do my plastics anthracite?

The bay is not great for din conversions

 

[tyrer]

After a mini detail today I though I would finally go and get some decent pics in my usual photo haunt.

Hopefully by the end of March it will be as I want it.

Awesome mate, such a clean car

Awesome mate, such a clean car

cheers mate... pics can hide stuff .

I really think that the gloss black bits bring the silver out more if that makes sense over the standard plastics

cheers man, hopefully I can get the exterior mint and how I want it (rear bumper needs a good re-laquer).

I hate waiting for my birthday and the next stage of the leons development.

Finally some pics

Car looks awesome mate, worth the wait to see it!

May have to do my grilles black!

 

[tyrer]

cheers for the comments, just realised how since the first post I really didnt get proper pics since then (slap on the wrist)

I reckon the grills are an underated area that can really help haha

Cheers fellah, that was a 20min wash only in-between the rain. Good job the wax is goooood and keeps it protected.

Much longer on yours... I'll get the buffer out

 

[t0m]

Lovely job mate, it's looking smart!

The mirrors really help to set off the bodywork colour well

 

[AlexGSi2000]

Looks really nice. Will keep my eyes peeled when im out and about

 

[tyrer]

Yeah the mirrors are alot better when the body work is clean though haha looks bad when dirty!

Alex what colour etc is your Cupra?

 

[tyrer]

This morning I ordered via awesome my THS FR3 gearbox steady and pipercross panel filter then looked out and decided to have an early start at the car.

Wing mirrors are back Silver and my wheels are currently hardening in their new Anthracite colour - I know its done to death but all my silver cars have had anthracite wheels so I couldnt change a habit of a lifetime.

Total cost was £30 for Paint, Lacquer and sand paper.


Pics should be ready for tomorrow once paint has completely hardened.

Not a proffesional job but I have a wedding to pay for so Its all about utilising my home grown skills
