Silver mk3 cupra

Looking for advice guys/gals

Iv got a silver cupra, looking for styling advice. my wheels are anthracite just now looking for a different look. Will be buying new wheels at some point but not soon. also coilovers are in order too and iv got rear spacers to put on. im also thinking of colour coding the bumpers.

what colour of wheels?

 

[TJP]

White maybe on the right rims??

 

[stuibaby]

Black looks good on Silver cars - but kinda common i guess?

Definately colour code Bumper strips - i did mine last weekend and it makes the car look like a completely new car!

You only need one can of Primer, Colour and Lacquer to do both front and back!

Tinted windows coming for me next

 

[TJP]

stuibaby wanna do my bumpstrips lol. Whats the finish like??

i just have standard rims. i might just do them gloss black colour coded bumpers and get the coilovers on

Gloss black wheels and bump strips way forward

 

[clairehall]

Dunno if I should gloss black bump strips or just colour code them

 

[TJP]

colour code the bumpstrips or paint them metallic grey.

 

[clairehall]

Yeah colour coding is always in mind, in a weird way i think colour coding makes the car look newer thinking gloss black with the alloys, but then that's always common, will paint them and if I don't like them I can always change them back. Just think the grey is abut dull and boring.

 

[TJP]

Yeah dont do the bumpstrips gloss black, colour code them silver or keep them the same colour but painted rather than textured plastic

This is the Secondary water pump - Mine makes a HUGE noise when hit whilst running. Scared the hell out of me 2 days after buying car (Thought i had bought a ringer!)

LOADS of people get this and some unplug it - i left mine though as long as i dont close bonnet when its running, it behaves itself.

I would go a nice Anthracite/grey colour if it was me

 

[clairehall]

they are a grey colour just now, think i will source another nice grey or maybe a little lighter colour of grey

Car is getting a service next weekend

new disc's and pads & pollen filter, getting the engine flushed. and a full check over everything
id rather have everything perfect before i start spending money on modding it when i could be maintaining it
