looking good matey, very original bits

personally i wouldn't want to brand my FR as a Cupra but then again my came with all the branding as standard

keep up the good work, keep it clean :)

yeh i know what your saying mate...mine came standard,so going to cupra/fr stuff is an upgrade...but theres nothing else out there to add individuality to the outside..

thats why ive gone abit mad on the interior with the alcantara in red..

will change the wheels soon too...when i find some that suit the car.

also looking at getting headlights like yours..i think they suit it well

thanks for the comments

Lovely car mate. Seen a few mods that I havnt seen elsewhere like the laguna door lights and the tt mirror. Cheers for the advice on the gear knob. Didnt see it as I didnt search the british ebay at all. Looking at it in yours only makes me want it more lol
 
cheers fella..i like to keep bits oem...but then i do like to try different things.

ive actually modded the puddle lights in the mirrors now using rear number plate lenses from an ibiza..

done a few more mods but no pics.

genuine fr vdo clocks as old ones were knackered
cupra lhd rear light so they are symetrical
modded cupra steering wheel
alloys just back from refurb inc all new tyres.
black front grill

Very nice car, I like it a lot, the headlining looks good.
What glue did you use?
Has it held well?
:)

cheers fella..

i used trim fix glue..brilliant stuff,and yeh..its held fine.

ive used that glue on many cars now and years down the line,it still there.
 
Aw good he got the part number so :)

oh yes..did you get my pm ??

colour coded the sunvisors black today so they match the interior light .

and now on look out for a cupra front bumper to replace my facelift oner.

so if anyone knows of one for sale..please let me know

not really mate..it gets tricky around corners and big bends as this suede dont stretch that much.

apart from that its fine..
 
give it a go mate..try it on some small bits first..then you will know how easy or hard it is to do other bits
