Brad's Seat leon TDI project, end of an era!!

[stevie16v]

looking good. I'll need to keep an eye on this thread. i'm sure there will be plenty more to come eh?

 

[brad1]

cheers for the comments guys, and ofcourse you are right stevie16v, i got up this morning at about half 8 got a drink and looked out the window at my car on the drive and the sight of my brake calipers were just plain and boring, so by half 9 i was up b&q and bought a couple of paint brushes and a tin of hammerite smooth silver, i was going to paint red but thought i would just be immitating brembo's so i went for a neater look, and ofcourse clear laquer. i was all set to paint my brake calipers, lucky enough i didnt get any rain which was a touch, it was hard to paint every little gap and cranny without getting any on the pads, but im changing the pads and disks soon in the next couple of weeks so it will look cleaner lol, plus they look better in person
also 18's to come soon and get rid of the standard alloys
The laquer has made them shiny in person, but not ott

what do you think

 

[stevie16v]

look good, Its a little difference on the standard, help it stick out a bit!

also last night i did a couple of pics of my hids and going to put them up to show the quality of lighting

also some pics from the AmD rolling road day on sunday the 20th

not the best pics but some very nice cars

 

[stevie16v]

the painted calipers. As opposed to dirty dust covered ones
The hid xenons make a huge difference, Its a must on any car i get and they aint that expensive either now!

 

[brad1]

well the hid kits are only like £43 posted from fleabay now so hids all way lol

 

[brad1]

my interior was looking a little shabby so i decided to totally clean out the interior and getting every little piece of dirt i could find and cleaned the dash using leather wipes and it came up very nice, pain in the a$$ getting dog hairs out the footwell though

18's to come very soon

Great work scotty...I got to paint my rear calipers red to much the ATE's just havent had time but seeing your has inspired me!

Just done a 400mile round trip this weekend. Car is covered in bugs so gonna give it a good clean inside and out!

 

[brad1]

cheers jonjay, yeah, they would look much better painted red to match the ate big brakes, hopefully get my 18's this week, so will update this page during the week

 

[jonjay]

oooo what wheels you going for?

 

[brad1]

not sure yet mate, strugers1 is selling his cheap for me at mates rates lol, immacualte condition aswell

 

[brad1]

today, i gave my engine bay a decent clean up and it didnt come out to bad

also got the 18's today, look lovely on the car in person, what do you think?

and i know it needs lowering before anyone says lol

 

[brad1]

took a couple more pics while i was at santa pod for the weekend, what you think of the wheels??

 

[jonjay]

Always liked Inovit wheels...they the CTS's?

I was thinking about getting a second set off alloys for track days, the invoti tarmac ones as they are light weight.

 

[brad1]

yeah mate, they are CTS's are they have loads of clearance behind for big brakes
