Elliott's MK3 Ibiza Cupra Update * carnage has begun*

[Daymo]

cars looking nice, do you own a spray booth or something or do you just use a spray gun in your garage? good effort with your car though

 

[CupraElliott]

I have access to a 2000 sq ft workshop for the week. No spraybooth but we have a dust extractor and all the rest of the gear.

I have some pictures here of this weeks progress but I might keep them to myself for a bit...

Car looking awsome mate, what type of wheels ou putting on? standard ones in gloss black?

 

[CupraElliott]

Yes mate. IMO some of the nicest wheels you can get for the MK3, look awesome in black too.

 

[Ibiza125]

Very nice! Looking forward to more updates!

 

[Cupra20]

Looks good mate, what you doing with your white wheels?

 

[CupraElliott]

They will be up for sale soon. I want to swap the tyres over because the Comps have brand new Proxies on, they will be refurbed too.

Polished charge pipe.

I might have a turbo lined up and wheels are a definet now, picking them up on Saturday.

K03S reducer? I notice you have the silencer on yours, is it defo needed as mine has the same so wondering for when I fit it!?

 

[CupraElliott]

The standard size one tends to pop off. Just reduces the size slightly and with it being silicone it has alot more give than the rubber one, so alot better grip.

It's also longer, about twice as long as the standard hose infact.

 

[Riko]

Makes sense. What size did you orde/where and is it a specific part?

 

[CupraElliott]

54 to 51mm reducer from SFS performance mate. Alot better value than the Forge one.

 

[Riko]

Sweet thanks for that! Cars looking ruddy fabulous matey, can we expect to see it at the national?

 

[CupraElliott]

Doubt it mate. Might even be pushing it for Traxs. I want it to be A1.

 

[Riko]

Fair play. I don't seem to recall you mentioning lacquering the car? Are you going to, does it need it??

 

[CupraElliott]

Nah mate, not gonna bother. Doesn't really need it no, just two pack red.
