Hi all!

This was after the first wash when I bought the Cupra in May 2009.

Shortly afterwards I decided to go for a japanese carbon backbox becaus the exhauts was blowing in a very crappy way!

Shortly after it was mounted it seemed to big for the little beeza :p
Also it continued to constantly fall off the car [:@]

So after a little while I gave it to one of my mates :p (Saab 900 2.0 turbo)

When I First bought the beeza it was pretty rusty, so I went for a new trunk!

The Old one! :rolleyes:

Had the rear wing repainted at the same time aswell :)

With that done I had the car in for a change of the timing belt and oil change.
When I got it back i fitted it with a K&N panel filter :)

After that I thought it was time to do something about the interior, so I ordered an OMP steeringwheel and an OMP gearknob. And also some of mom's help stitching a piece of red fabric for the gearlever. :)
At the same time I also started to strip the car of the stereo and speakers.

When I first bought the car the rims where looking horrid. Although I love the look of the standard ronals, so i decided to give them some refurbish.

Primed :)

you can also glimpse some of the 550cc monster go-kart :rolleyes:

When the refurbish was done I bought a set of Hankook Ventus S1 evo (195/40/16) and fitted them to the ronals.
Also I went to the SEAT dealer to get my self a new set of center hubcaps, fitted perfectly :)

Had to put some Ronal stickers on! :rolleyes:

After this it was time to change the exhauts to a 2½" catback system with a highflow backbox from Simons Performance Exhaustsystems.
At the same time I decided it was time to change the brakediscs and brake pads.

When I got the car back I went to order some omp strutbraces from trendab.se
And also a hosekit from Venair :)

Looking good mate! Your washer bottle is huge lol, I'm assuming it's cos you have the headlight washer jets?

Thanks mate! Yeah, I have the headlight washer jets, thinking of getting rid of them tho, the bottle holds 4,8 liters :rolleyes:
