Dailydriven MK3 Cordy and moneyhole MK3 VR6 Golf

[Juhuts]

Hello.

I´ve got this thread´s Seat over year now and this is her story

9 Years ago my dad bought this car from dealership. It had 1.9 TDI engine and Stella features with AC and cruise control. Almost 8 years this car was my dad´s daily, but when i got my drivers licence dad gave it to my use because i drive much more these day´s than he does.

Pictures from the begining. Last winter i didn´t do anything mods to extrerior. Only mods were about stereos. First i installed new MP3 player (Alpine CDE-9880R), then i bougth SPL Dynamics S-4002 amplifier and Rainbow Hammer 12" subwoofer.
When spring came i had also bought Focal solid 4 and Focal KR2 Power series speakers.

Next was the wheels turn. I bought set of BBS 15x7" rims and new bridgestone turanza ER300 tires to them. Then i decided to get rid of those old bouncy springs and shocks. I ordered JOM´s coilover set from germany.

Car got little lower with that set and rims made some new looks. Rear end screaming though spacer or wider wheels.

Then that little audio bug bite me again. I had to get new player, new ampilfier and sub. New set was Alpines CDE-117Ri, JBL GTO 14001 and JBL P1222. I made new installations to boot and they looked like this:

Might not look good to some of us, but goes for me For next summer i´m getting bigger sub box and some trimming there.

Summer´s end and autumn car looked like this:

I got some other plans too (than audio) for my car and hoping that next summer it´s rolling with "good" stance wide´n low ;P New set of wheels are on my shopping list at first. Wider and maybe one or two inch bigger. Here is my friend´s photoshop about my car and my plans:

- Pictures OZ futuras are my dream, but i think i settle for Keskin KT1 16x7.5" and 16x9" set.
- New interior carpets. Those original rubber carpets are making me crazy!
- Maybe some fixing to paint
- Original fog lights
- Fixing that bumber or whole new original or Cupra´s.
- Much more other little mods and STICKERS!! : D

(had to make double post to include all pictures ;o )

Latest mods about my car are made few days ago. I had to replace those old and broken front seats with better ones, so i got Recaros from VR6 golf.

And i finally got my new headligts too to work! I spend about 50 euro´s to them and almost 7 hours time, but damn there they are

Im not sure yet wich one are better looking. Those or originals, but those are way more brighter. That is also my winterlook 2010. Lookin little ugly though :/

Hopefully you all understanded my writings : )

Woah that looks very nice. Need to get some matching mirrors though.

That´s true. I´ve thinked that i paint those original mirrors with blue like in cupra models. I´ve got also some twisted ideas about burberry trimming Im not sure would they fit but i might try them.

Interior get´s maybe some burberry sticker and burberry fabric.

Hy,

Tell me about the seats.. VR6 recaros..??

 

[Juhuts]

Yes. They are from VR6 golf much better than originals, and not very expensive cause they are all used. Plus they fit directly onto the rails. Next thing would be fitting VR6 golf rear seats if i get them somewhere with low price.

 

[crisrik]

so they fitted perfectly..??
no mods to do..?

 

[Juhuts]

They fit perfectly.
Only thing that i´ve having problem is that i forgot to plug seatwarmers before putting seats to rails.. I don´t know where that plug is at seats or is there any plugs (seats without warmers). If there is those plugs they will fit too or so i´ve heard.
There is few minor "bugs" too. Adjustment screw is little hard to screw because space is problem
But i love those

 

[crisrik]

I will look after a pari here in Romania.. in some schortt place

 

[Juhuts]

I had very boring nigth so i decided to learn little about how to mod cars with gimp. I made little mods that might come before next summer (and during the summer).

Mods
- BBS RS ( ) wheels would be VERY nice, but i think im not getting set to fit in my budget (about 1k€). I might buy keskin KT1 set 9x16 or Lenso BSX 9x16 if any rare rims doesn´t come up.
- Body-colored mirrors (thinking about how Polo 9n2 mirrors would fit )
- Black side skirts (maybe seat sport or VR6 golfs)
- Cleaner front bumber (or cupras bumber)
- Yellow lamin x vinyls (if rims are yellow or gold i might put some vinyls to my car.)
- Black B/C pilars
- Low, low, low

- Seat´s original fog lights (they aren´t at the picture, but im thinking to get those if i don´t get whole new cupra bumber.)

Picture isn´t the best, but one of the first my car mods I know that rims don´t fit perfectly and that you can see lowering track very clearly.

 

[crisrik]

Looking veery nice

 

[Juhuts]

Long time, no updates about this car.

I´ve done some new changes at this and presenting the new looks of Cordy ;p

- New rims. Artec S1 8.5 ET 56 195/40 and 9.5 ET 44 215/35. 20mm spacers allround.
- Seat sport skirts.
- Cupras Headlights.
- Some stickers etc etc ;p (interior&exterior.)

Have to roll fenders to stop scraping. Then i could lower it little bit more

 

[ndbrgr]

Heated seats? And where's the little TV type screen with the temperature on it?

 

[suj]

wheels are nice Juhuts, but please get less stretch, just looks crap (and that's coming from me lmao)

A little less stretch will finish it off

 

[Juhuts]

Heated seats? And where's the little TV type screen with the temperature on it?

Here in finland there aren´t those "computers" assembled. Only Sport models or some better equipped models have that. Yeas, here is cold winters so we need heated seats : DD

That stretch thing is little complicated. I bought those tyres with those rims and i think i love that stretch already ;o (well.. I´ve allways loved small streching). Doesn´t look so over streched yeat and it won´t rub so easily

Dropped the front again. This time 7 rounds of those coils. From 8cm i´ve dropped it allready 18 rounds and it still looks high ;< And im afraid of hights

 

[Seatmann]

So you've got the same sort of dash but with normal heater controls? Now that aint fair lol, we have to mod our crappy stupid screen things and you don't.

Your car looks the same sort of colour as mine.

 

[Juhuts]

I know it isn´t fair Our dashes are much easier and that´s why i don´t even want to buy any sport or cupra cordoba. Okay... Those look so hot that dash won´t matter then

It´s color code is LS5J

 

[Seatmann]

Lol I can understand you not wanting one of those really nice ones with that horrible dash

Yeh same colour LS5J

 

[Juhuts]

- Original grill
- washerles molding
- boot removed from the seat marks.
- Cleaned those stickers
- Dropped it again a little bit
