thePHILosiphers FR TDi - Stage 2 Complete - SOLD!!

[thePHILosipher]

Been a good day, got my cupra spoiler fitted today, i was going to get the front bumper done as well but thanks to Natwest thats on hold until the summer

anyway the good stuff :

Standard

Cupra Spoiler

really chuffed with the way its improved the look of the car, just finishes the look of the rear end.

Next up 40k service and cupra bushes

 

[BeezaDave]

looks so much better man. did you have to buy a new brake light or can you use the existing one??

 

[thePHILosipher]

cheers buddy

had to buy a new brake light, but all in, the spoiler cost me £30 delivered, the brake light £40 delivered (kudos Dave @ sere) and £60 painted and fitted, which I think was money well spent and bloody good value to boot.

dont want to hijack your thread mate. had it ordered but unfortunately the rear bumper doesnt fit a pre facelift so had to cancel the entire order. lookin at buyin some small accessories now.

did you tell me before that when buying tt pedals, you should get an accelerator for a left hand drive car???

pitty, those kits do look awesome, i was going to say get some pics up as i havent seen them on a red car, you should still buy the kit for the other bits then sell the rear bumper and exhaust then buy one of the cupra bumpers or see if dave would swap the cupra bumper for the kit one??

yeh the TT pedals need the left hand pedal, £13 near enough from an Audi dealer

not worth the hassle mate. the closest i could sell that rear bumper is Northern ireland, a good 400 miles away. think i might just get all cupra bumpers eventually.

thanks for the info. do you know why??

Re: thePHILosiphers FR TDi

Quality looking car! Checked out the pictures of the Cupra spoiler as well and it is starting to grow on me!

Would really suit a C2 aerial, will be the best fiver you ever spend

Re: thePHILosiphers FR TDi

cheers mate, £5 you say i'll be havin one of them.

on another note, fitted some new bulbs, decided to try the ring 100% as my driving lights went, bulbs are really good much whiter, decent value at £12 delivered for 2 and will do as a stop gap until some HID's in the latter part of the year, shame they are currently angled down and i cant get to the adjuster thanks to my claws for hands

 

[BrettBlade]

Re: thePHILosiphers FR TDi

Yeah, mine was just over a fiver from eBay, the link is in the my thread I think! Pics of the new bulbs?

Also, pictures before and after of the aerial change in my thread

 

[thePHILosipher]

Re: thePHILosiphers FR TDi

yeh just bought this one

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/GENUINE-CITRO..._CarParts_SM?hash=item3efcd04d8b#ht_500wt_749

should do the job

i'll get some pics up tommorow of the new bulbs, i have a day off work so i'll be cleaning and snapping

 

[BrettBlade]

Re: thePHILosiphers FR TDi

Exactly the same one I got mate, you shouldn't be disappointed!

 

[BrettBlade]

Re: thePHILosiphers FR TDi

The Pipercross filter you have, is it just the replacement panel filter?

 

[thePHILosipher]

Re: thePHILosiphers FR TDi

cool, did the reception worsen with the new aerial??

yeh the pipercross filter is a straight replacement, open air box remove replace job done

 

[BrettBlade]

Re: thePHILosiphers FR TDi

I think it's a bit hit and miss whether the reception worsens, most people say not, but it did with mine. However I very rarely, if ever, use the radio so it's form over function for me!

How do you find the Pipercross as opposed to the original? I've just ordered a Green panel replacement.

 

[thePHILosipher]

Re: thePHILosiphers FR TDi

i found the engine revved a little quicker but its hard to tell as i had the remap done at the same time, so i dont entirely know if its map or filter related but still a definate improvement of the standard one.

 

[thePHILosipher]

Re: thePHILosiphers FR TDi

new bulbs:

really happy with them

and some random pic after a good clean and whilst waiting for my bro to pic up his new motor

 

[thePHILosipher]

Re: thePHILosiphers FR TDi

stubby aerial has arrived, let the fun begin with fitting it

 

[BrettBlade]

Re: thePHILosiphers FR TDi

Took me literally ten seconds to remove and fit my new aerial, unscrew the old one stood from behind the car, lean it towards you at a 90 degree angle and give it a good pull, should come loose though you may need to keep pulling hard for a few seconds. Then just screw the new one in

Pics before and after once done?
