well today, i clay barred my car, and im amazed of how much sh1t actually comes out, even after washing it

and also , i thought id save money and paint the side strips myself, plus got my skirts fitted

somehow paint still managed to get on to the door but i got it off after using a bit of white spirit
what you think

colour match is not perfect, only when you look at it very closely, but im happy with the outcome

 

[hughes86]

the skirts make a lot of differance. was it a shop u got ure hids from off ebay?

 

[brad1]

i got them off ebay for £43

 

[hughes86]

ahh ok gunna go look for some. want some for e38. are the ones that i need the h7 6oook ones as not quite sure which ones i will need

 

[brad1]

if yours is a leon, then yes, h7 but colour choice is yours, best is 6000k

 

[hughes86]

yea its the cupra tdi 150. do i not need the size of the bulbs as quite a few of the sites ask for it

 

[brad1]

all you need is a hid kit, and when you pay, ask for h7 6000k

Blimey Brad, that looks top! If it is a small bit of paint on the body work try very very small portion of white spirit. I'd personally try a small bit of t-cut.

If you have clayed your car make sure you cleans the paint with a good polish/sealant an then wax. Clay will strip nearly all the protection.

Side skirts looks good - just need the bumpers and your set....give me your cupra r vents...give them!

yeah, i was trying the white spirit in small portions, and washing off every 1 minute and it worked a treat, makes the car look so much wider with the skirts, and you can have my vents, aslong as i get your battery and airbox cover

and as for coming along, the modding is going on halt, until my next pay day in a fort night, im fed up with clutches and then needing a flywheel, car is booked in amd very shortly for a full uprated clutch kit and flywheel fitted so my wallet is taking a bashing, but then it will be done.. oh and 3 new tyres lol
... also i put some powerflex arb bushes in last week and what a difference, my loud clonking noise has gone and soon im thinking wishbone bushes and shocks and springs very shortly

can meet up sometime mate, have a chat etc, and as more side skirts, im always on ebay and everytime i written off cupra comes up i snatch them for dirt cheap, and down sheerness there is a vw breakers, but for example they will get 1 seat to 50 vw so they dont come in much down there

 

[af1]

i want cupra bumpers, but i dont have the dough, unless i just whack it on credit card, but then thats irresposible

if you ever find cheap cupra or cupra R bits that you dont want/need could you give us a pm or something

 

[brad1]

well i wasnt happy with the colour match, it looked ok, but when up close you could see it was slightly off so i rubbed them all down again and started from scratch
so i got some paint made up with the colour s57n, my colour code is l57n but they didnt have mine, but i think the colour is a perfect match

what you think

 

[jonjay]

Much better...change your tyres they are nearly bald!

 

[brad1]

i know mate, they are only bald on that outer edge slightly, but still got 3mm everywhere else

 

[ja88thfc]

Car looks amazing mate!
Was it a tough job painting the brake calipers?
My Leon is red, so want to go red despite the 'fake Brembo' look.... does it need special paint/laquer?

 

[brad1]

well i managed to get my hands on a 225 steering wheel for a good price
bit of a trouble trying to fit it, i managed to get airbag off, and undid the bolt that holds the steering wheel on, the temporary connected the airbag back up while i straightened up the wheel, and while ignition was on, bl00dy plug to airbag came off and it triggered a airbag light up, but after fitting it, i luckily managed to clear the fault with my vagcom and no airbag light
