Luke's Dakota Red Bocanegra - Revo stage 1 - I'm back :)

[Lukeyy]

Right so here it is my Dakota Red Boc. Ive had the car since March this year and have loved it ever since i first drove it

i did have some plans for it but i was going on holiday to Florida in June so i couldn't do anything to it because of lack of money. But I'm back now so my progress is begins...


Here she is...

From day one i ordered these off Ebay what do you think?

Tax Disc holder

Seat dust caps

I fell in love with it at first sight. A big step up from my old 1.4 corsa SRI. I felt like stepping up abit from it as i got myself a new job and being only 19 wanted as much performance as i could.

So Ive been back from holiday for about a week now and ive been paid so i was kind of stuck on where to begin :/. So on the way back from work i stopped off at AMD harrow and see what they say. After a hour talking to the guy i bought myself a Miltek Cat back non Resonated exhaust, K and N air filter and have my wheels laser realigned. All of this is taking place this Thursday so i cant wait ill upload photos and video of exhaust after its done.

Future Plans:

Performance wise i would like a stage 1 Revo map to bring the exhaust alive in the next few months. Also I think Cupras ride way to high so maybe some lowering springs to make it sit better.

Other plans include:

Seat spoiler
Centre armrest
Team Heko wind deflectors - Ordered
New headlights and sidelights - Ordered
Bocanegra sticker on bumper


Any ideas welcome and advice etc.... Hope you all like

Would also suggest a gloss black diffuser? I have seen a few on here it seems to finish it off nicely. Going to get mine done at seat when its in for the spoiler

are they charging you alot if you dont mind me asking ? Seat quotes me ridiculous prices to paint my spoiler. Probably because its a persulant or metallic colour? im looking for a local garage to do mine so its abit cheaper

 

[LukeWS]

Hello mate they are charging me £180 to paint/fit spoiler which i belive is a bit pricey? But i have no idea and the diffuser is £60 but thats just to paint as they wont remove it and prime it smooth etc so i dont know what the end result will be but £60 is much cheaper than £250 a private body garage quoted me to do it haha
