Ape's LCR225 Thread (Getting Back on the Road)

IMO the front plate could do with being a tad bigger, just so you cant see the mount behind it.

Love the snow pic though... CUPRA!!

 

[Ape]

I've made sure plate is equally space on the surround, I like it as it adds more detail to the front.

nice looking car mate keep it up

 

[cap r 225]

car looks really good mate, your leak will be on the passanger side of the boot mate. Small T piece, it's pretty common really.

Cheers Zara, I plan on doing other red details, Badges and that sort of thing. Someone mentioned Mirror Caps and possibly the Roof to match but I reckon it could be too much.

Yeah I think the roof would def be too much, maybe some subtle red graphics would look good?

 

[Ape]

Cheers Jada,

Thanks for the info Cap! I found a bit of a description earlier when searching, you've just clarified that for me so I know for sure where to look now

Zara - what do you have in mind? I thought about removing the R badges and having them in red vinyl, although I've got a set of replacement badges waiting to go on. Don't want anything too garish or in your face (errrrr, may have already bust that one with the wheels)

 

[Mashburn]

I think you should just keep it simple and spray the front and back S badges red, and remove all other badges.

Would look sweet IMO.

I like the idea of the Red Seat Badges, I'll be getting a red club url when I get round to ordering it as well. I was going to go down the badgeless front grille road but keep changing my mind, a Red S would look much better I think

 

[Ape]

Well, the pipe on the passenger side of the boot had indeed popped off. Clicked it back in and then the tailgate sprung a leak

Now I've got to take the tailgate trim off too. oh joy.

 

[Ape]

Well, its done, managed it without taking the trim off completely, didn't break any clips and only lost a bit of arm hair in the process

You could use red vinyl on the badges instead of paint, then if you dont like it it's easy to put back.

SOLD!

Better than buying another set of badges and painting up. Nice one

 

[Mashburn]

Will you be able to get vinyl that exactly matches the wheel colour?

 

[Ape]

Can have a go, I know a few vinyl firms so between us we'll find a match

I was thinking about the seat sport logo - that has red in it. You could put that on the door under the wing mirrors....or mayby something on the front wings/bonnet??

 

[Ape]

Hmmmm, maybe. Not too sure

I took some updated photo's last weekend, not entirely happy with the quality but will try and get some better ones this coming weekend

 

[Nef]

love how well the wheels stand out mate, nice choice. looks awesome.

 

[DaleGT]

[turbo009]
