Barn's Project....returning to a leon.

[cupra-barn]

Glad to be of some assistance, now get working!

Cheers mate

Well after Tim's kick up the arse I set about sorting the bumper, the last 2 times its been painted the lacquer has gone funny and cloudy resulting in having to start again but today I was deturmined to get it

So I wet sanded the bumper AGAIN and put another layer of paint on. Once that had gone off I put the lacquer on and here are the results.

This is the jack point cover perfect and the bumper all cloudy

Lacquered!

Next is the skirts. Once again they need redoing due to the tarpauling falling on them and messing up the lacquer. Enough to drive me mad, not one bit has gone without a hitch so far, hoping the front will be better when we get round to it!

 

[cupra-barn]

My nice new battery tray for my battery relocation when I get round to it.

Thanks Tim

Well my enthusiasm has just gone crazy today and I havnt been able to stop myself from doing things.

I took the 'S' badge off the boot to paint it.

It'll be painted black to match the rest of the cars scheme that seems to be happening!

Yes mate I cant wait! Really back into it now so buzzin' to get it done

Unfortunatly the rain scarpered my plans for this evening so I fitted the 'S' badge back on that was painted throughout the day and then hitting the gym (I'm now feeling dead!!)

Badge painted.

Finish.

Looking at the weather forecast its gonna be a few days before I can paint more so Im gonna try and do something else in the mean time, maybe polish the battery box paint the chargepipe? We shall see!!

 

[Ronin225]

You need to cut back through the oxide on the box before polishing
Its a very high grade aerospace material so corrodes quickly, sub 12hrs

 

[cupra-barn]

What's the best way to do it then mate?

 

[cupra-barn]

HUGE UPDATE!!

I've finally managed to get the LCR rear bumper fitted!

YAY!

It's taken a while to sort but finally the day has arrived, I'll let the pics talk.....

I've just got to move the exhaust over slightly, only about 10mm so doing that this evening. I'm over the moon with it complete transformation.

PS. Sorry the rest of the cars not very clean haha
