Thanks allot lads! Positive comments makes it worth wile.

It's very handy done lol I'm thinking on investing or building a machine for spining wheels as a few people have been looking me to do there polished lips. I done my mates borbets with the exact same process and the finish wasn't as good as it is on my alloys though..

Those wheels look gd:) I can't decide what to do wheel wise on mine.

It's hard to be original with car modifications. So many people copy each other.


would be good to see how you get on with hydro, there isn't much nowadays that's runs on juice

Bags are too dear for starters. They also give ALLOT of bother. Juice is the way forward as its more dependable and you don't need to wait on a noisy compressor filling a tank lol

I like that, I think you've done very well in such a short time considering what you started with. I reckon you should space the wheels out a little more. Like the wheels and the ride height it suits the car :clap:


Thank you appreciate it! I got the wheels lathed so they tuck at the front and sit perfect at the back. They need to go back to get lathed today as theres a wobble in the back 2 :(

Personally I detest cupra bumpers lol but on certain cars they do look good.

Raised up a little at the back so the ass isn't dragging, will be stanced and notched this week.

Exactly what I'm going for. No stickers, tints, tacky wheels, fresh euro = win.

Hopefully have a Thule roofrack bought soon then a roofbox and have it colour coded like this ,

Euro=win in general!

Agree with the tacky wheels you see sometimes, also window tints look ok on some cars but other cars work best without them (Mk1 Golfs and the like).

Look forward to seeing your progress with this mate!

As said before I like it. Like that fact you sprayed it all yourself and got involved in its change. I'd spray mine if I had the gear and the know how.

Car looks really nice mate, had a question for you. How low is your car as I was looking into getting borbets for my leon but there is a lot of speed bumps in my area.
