old can follower that was replaced after reading much about the issues that these things cause



And this was when she was stock.
Still waiting for a dyno day to see what she produced.

Looking good ther boet. They should never have pulled the brand from SA.

 

[Umar]

looks good mate

 

[Barry-Lee]

thanks guys! Yup jc_boc what a shame. There are some die hard seat fans here.
I'm am totally loving stage 2.only problem i have is that i'm comparing it to stock...which isn't exactly fair.
But i'm smiling all the way.

small update:

Red calipers

almost forgot. I did a power run coupla weeks ago and this is what she produces



169kw and 346NM at the fly

 

[jc_boc]

impressive boet! Cabbie is looking awesome and the calipers set if off nicely now.

 

[Barry-Lee]

So I'm back....with a vengence and this is what is going on

Gloss black roof in progress



Smoked tail lights

Still not sold on this lil mod

and Renault C2 aerial


oh yes ...
and then got this


and a pretty box that cost a hellava lot of cash but I can't do without.



As far as power is concern, had a faulty DV and as we speak BumbleBee is getting a service and a new revision H DV. There after we'll see what power she delivers.


Next week more to follow....

Thanks for watching and stay tuned.

 

[jc_boc]

Very nice dude. Black roof is perfect man! Not too sure on tail lights either tbh but I guess it's a marmite thing.

 

[Barry-Lee]

Thanks Jc_boc (ps congrats on your new ride)

I think I need to see the tail lights when the rims and mirrors flaps are completed.
Right now i'm not feeling it but rather lamen-x than spraying it (which is what i was gonna do - thank goodness i didn't)

We'll see next week and i'l post some pic of the finished product for comments.

update with progress pictures


Rims prep'd

Rims in progress

Back bumper re-done because of a pole that jumped out in my way while reversing:rol::rol::rol::rol:


Gloss black mirror caps


Rims off

Caliper refresh

Rims and calipers

and a quick preview of what she looks like


Before rims and mirrors


Coupla months again i also removed the centre exhaust box making it sound oh so nice. So it is a straight pipe leading form the DP to the box at the back.
Missed this sound.

As soon as the weather in Cape town decides which season it wants to I'll do a nice clean up and take some fancy photos.

Very nice Mr Lee!!!! The black mirror caps and wheels set it off very well now boet. Keep up the good work bud!

 

[Barry-Lee]

Thanks JC.
Need to save again for the rest....man this all adds up hey.

 

[jc_boc]

LOL, tell me about it. You don't even want to know what all my bits have cost me for stage 2+. Will be paying that little lot off over the next 3 years!

 

[Barry-Lee]

My word....you can get performance parts on terms up there!
Now that is a scary thought.
I'm be broke and in debt....lol

 

[jc_boc]

LOL, no boet, I took out a loan to get all the parts. Now I am well and truly broke until it's all paid off hahahahahhaha

 

[Barry-Lee]

Or is it for the love of SEAT!

Noooo its definitely love of motoring, I would bet you more than 50% of people on here have always modified their cars in some way.

Car looks really smart by the way

 

[Barry-Lee]

Thanks cupra-barn.
I have noticed that modifying is the motoring way. Totally addictive and therefore a must.

Will do a proper session when I do a nice detail.
