Not yet mate need to prep and paint all the body parts, refurb the wheels and brakes and order a couple more little bits.

Looks like FMIC will have to wait a month or two now though

really nice...
I would also like to find brembos, and front bumper,
but in Croatia (Europe) it is very hard to find, because, the car is very rare...
and new stuff's are expensive...

keep with good work.
regards.

please tag me along when you do your skirts, i'll come down worcester if needed, down the road from where I work..... I need help fitting them, or..... great a bad ass guide.

p.s. good buys now all you need is a K04

I started to prime the bumper today.

Onto the third coat now. Many more to go.

What do people think of the square plate on the front? Its a motorbike size plate but cant decide on it.

Lol looks odd there as it doesnt fill the back support bit

Yeah thats my only concern but I love the size of the plate! I might put it on and see. Can always change it!

 

[Ronin225]

3/4 size plate is the way to go, square ones look a bit dodgy and will stop as much airflow to a fmic

 

[cupra-barn]

Update:
Today I've given the bumper a further 7 coats of primer. Its now ready to be painted

I've also refurbed the first alloy today too. Not 100% perfect but good enough to tied me over until a professional refurb.

Tim; Yeah I'm unsure on the number plate. I'll have to run with it for the time being and see how I go I like the square plate just really unsure on the leon.

Yep
3/4 size allday long Barn. I'm sure it gives the fmic a bit more air when on the move..
Here's mine.

Do you get pulled over much for it? Thats my only concern, giving mr plod a reason!

TBH mate mine looks kinda OEM that's how I wanted it, just don't like the fugly standard one's which are too big imo.

Yeah that's what I'm aiming for too. Where did you get yours from?

From here mate:

Still really happy with it too. Quality has stood the test of time for nearly a year or so now I think since I bought it.

Thanks Tom, I may have to invest in some!

Also a quick update. I ordered a replacement fog light grill today as one was broken and ordered a new sun visor clip as one broke. All from Dave at Sere. Most helpful cheers Dave
