Cool, i've still got to fit the turbo oulet pipe and pancake pipe from my 5 piece turbo hose kit, plus i have T.I.P and upper and lower breather hoses, so fingers crossed its one of those

Recognise these mate?

They don't go over golf GTI calipers either

 

[gezmeister]

You're joking! Ah mate i feel bad now. Never had that before lol

 

[adam cupra 20vt]

Nothing a spacer won't sort out mate, look ok now there painted up

 

[gezmeister]

Yeah, matching black lip makes it look 10x better

Went and collected my new wheels from Karlw today (cheers mate) .





Gonna get them powdercoated next month, then tyres month after that if i have enough money left over from paying car tax

 

[karlw]

No problem, i see like me you havent cleaned them

 

[gezmeister]

Nah, not yet lol

 

[karlw]

I look forward to seeing what they could look like

 

[gezmeister]

You and me both mate. After doing a bit of research, it appears these are BSA 359's, not CAM. Looks like someone has slapped a set of CAM centre caps on. Not that it bothers me, its the degign i wanted, so i'm happy

 

[karlw]

Oh right, Sorry mate I didnt know.

Went to Wilco today and picked up a Meguiars Quik Clay Kit, seeing as the weather has picked up a bit.

Here's the car after just a good wash and rinse

Pretty clean, but loads of tar marks on the bottom of the doors, some on the top of the doors and plenty on the boot

Megs quick detailer

Megs clay

Going by the instructions, it wants you to use the whole 50g bar, but i used maybe a 1/3 on the whole car

Results:

Well chuffed with the results 8)

Finally got round to fitting this today, what a pain in the arse! Old one came off after about 10 mins, spent nearly 2 hours fiddling with the new one to no avail.

Massive thanks goes to Lee for helping at such short notice straight after he finished work, cheers mate

Pic of the new silicone turbo intake pipe

Old crappy restrictive one

And all fitted

Other hoses you can see there are from another job i did today, the n249 bypass. Just need a bolt to plug the old dump valve hose, and i can take it for a test drive

Where in Norwich are you? I do tend to keep an eye out for Leons.

 

[gezmeister]

I live in Coltishall, but i'm back and forth to Hellesdon regularly.

 

[gezmeister]

Wheels are back from the powdercoaters

Whats everyone's thoughts on how to get the lip all polished? They have quite a bit of tape where they covered up the lip

I've got a dremel multi tool thingy so that will help, and a few sheets of different grade sandpaper and plenty of autosol, but anyone got any tips?

 

[Phoenix27]

Lookin' good mate! Wish i could help you with the lip polishing.... i think Adam has a good idea about that sort of stuff, you might wanna PM him?

What's next on the mod-list mate?
