Riko's black cupra

Looking good mate, K03s next step for me after I get some bigger brakes :) Im loving that bonnet bra think im gonna be getting myself one of those to. How much you pay for yours, I found a few for around 65 quid, didnt think they would be that expensive :eek:
 
After I get my bigger DP and sports cat, bigger brakes are next in line. Not the way round I wanted to go but a good turbo doesn't come about that often. Just not wanting to spend £800 odd on new brembos! Hopefully something second hand come for sale soon!?
I paid about £45 in a group buy for the bra, I love em!!

Yeh I know what you mean,theres a nice set of cupra R brembos going on ebay for £600 I aint got the cash for them yet though :( You going to the seat meet?
 
Hell yeah I'm going to the seat meet! Got a bit to do to the car before then, gota dig deep into my wallet the next few months...
You going? Don't park too close to me, I might get mixed up with the cars! lol ;)
 
Yeh ive seen that set of mk3 ibiza brembos, but there just the calipers. I added up that when you have to buy the whole fitting kit(alot of little expensive parts that really add up) and then discs, it works out more expensive than Badger5's brembo package! That guy on ebay selling them is not really doing anyone any favours seeling them for 600quid
 
Hmm might just bust the credit card on them... I'm partly thinking S3/TT brakes but not entirely sure how they'd cope in comparison for up to 250bhp??
 
Looking sweet! Wishing my LCR was black now although the only way it will get that way at the mo is with the aid of a petrol can and matches....... ;)

Like I say looks sweet!:)

Bet you're quite tempted to do that right now with the agro you're having ay! Thanks for the comments, there's a few things being done to tart her up so progress is slow but steady!
 
Small update...

I've had a leaking rocker cover gasket for a while, so I finally got round to putting a new one on. I though it would be rude not to give the rocker cover itself a lick of paint while I was at it...

Didn't quite come out how I though it would tbh...:blink:

It's suppose to be matt black, but resembles a green/grey to me?!

I gave to charge pipe a coat aswell, this was before I saw the final result of the rocker...

It's coming off again next weekend to have something different me thinks...:rolleyes:
 
I know it looks a bit of a shambles atm, but the bay is having a bit of a makeover in the coming months...
This will include new colour rocker :whistle: New red vacuum hosing, new air filter with red 45° elbow, oil catch tank and hopefully new caps and covers :D
 
umm... yerp i did:redface:

Think im going to go for a more glossy anthracite colour, as the matt paint is sooo easy to mark and stain!

I had the same problem with my calipers the first time i painted them. the colour on the lid is NOTHING like the colour in the can. Wasn't motorserve by any chance was it? :)

Just make sure it got a nice coating and isn't peeling off ... sand it smooth and repaint with something glossy :)
 
Yeah it was motor serve... you stalking me...? you know too much...! lol. You're right that the final colour is nothing like the lid!
 
Lol... i don't think fireman Sam would be very pleased to hear you say that now! What's the best stuff to use on them, would Hammerite do the job?
