51mo's Cupra

[51mo]

Hi all,

This is my black 1.8t Cupra 04 reg 70k on the clock. I brought this about a month ago. Completely standard apart from a splitter which I fitted this weekend (Before and after pictures below)

On going improvement plans as follows in some kind of order

1) Body work touch up (get all stone chips, scratches etc removed and get it proffesionly detailed)

2) Forge recirculating dump valve

3) aftermarket induction kit (Open cone or concealed? not decided yet)

4) Cat back exhaust (will upgrade to full turbo back at some point when I have got my head around spending £500ish on a sports cat)

5) A new set of wheels (really dislike teh star fish ones)

6) Coilovers (mid range set)

7) FMIC more than likley going to be a Toyo sports one

8) As many silicon hoses as possible (will more than likely be fitted with the FMIC)

9) Re map

Thats my plan at the moment. I am not in a position to get all the above done in one go so it will be an on going project and I will try to keep this up to date the best I can.

Pictures,

Only a small Mod but I think it makes the front look a whole lot better and will look 10x better when its been lowered.

As you can see its just the right hight for my work car park. I will have to be more carefull when its lowered!

Any opinions on my upgrade plans are more than welcome and experiances because I dont want to buy something people know are naff!

Thanks for looking,


Martyn

how comes you dislike the starfish wheels?

Nice clean car looking car you have there by the way, what colour is it black magic or ebony black?

Thanks.

They are too basic and not very "Stylish" in mo opinion. I wouldnt mind some nice BBS wheels and I will keep these for winter.

Im not 100% sure, I will have to look into it. All I know at the moment is its black lol

BBS are nice. Expensive though. I like rotiforms myself but they don't get too much love on here very often. I like the starfish's myself although you're right they're not exactly extravagant.

I will more than likley get some copy BBS in all honesty due to teh cost and I thikn Rotiforms are awsome btu there is no way I am going to be able to afford the ones I want.
