Yo,

Well my dad had this clay bar thing so I thought I would try it out, you wouldn't
believe how much dirt it takes off STRAIGHT after a wash!!!!! When you rub you're
hand along the paint afterwards its soo smooth. Anyway, gave it a polish afterwards
and it's looking a lot better.

Only camera phone I'm affraid but the quality is OK.

Also gave the engine bay a wipe down, but it's by no means "bling" LOL.

Clay bar makes a huge difference. I'm sure I get some strange looks, but I love to give her a stroke afterwards. Give it 2 coats of wax and you want to molest it even more!!

Looks very nice though, great stance!

Thanks a lot guys! :)

Errmm...... the exhaust never rubs at all, the splitter and FMIC pipes do though on really bad
angles D'oh. It has got very tight exhaust mounts though.

I'll probably give it another coat of wax tomorrow.

Hi all, I know it's been ages but I've been busy.

Basically I have taken the cupra off the road to do it up. As it's my daily I didn't
want to get too involved and then not be able to get to work so buying a runaround
(200SX LOL) made sense.

A lot of the jobs are sorting niggles out and re-doing a few previous jobs that I'm not
100% happy with. I will be doing quite a few suspension mods and a new map afterwards
so it's not all maintainance by any means.

So far I have bought the following:

SEAT/MOMO upper front strut brace
OMP lower front strut brace
Powerflex front and rear wishbone bushes
20mm spacers (25's were too big for new wheels)
17"OZ superleggera's in dark silver/anthrasite
Uprated disks and pads
Proper battery tray for battery in boot
Forge TIP
HID headlights
LED sidelight bulbs (white)
Rear numberplate
Master to slave clutch pipe (old one leaking)
Injector seals (all leaking???)
Window motor/regulator
Oil/filer

That's all so far, still need to get a load more bits but f*ck me does it add up. Still after
some proper coilovers, engine mounts and the other poly bushes and possibly a Neuspeed
rear ARB.

Fitted a couple of bits already, car is filthy and splitter is off but you get the idea.....
