Gravesie LCR Progress Thread - Back on the road ! :) 29/12/2012

Been a long time since i updated this .... Again!

Just ordered some coilovers and had some nice man drop me some 25mm h&r spacers off ... 15mm for the front, just need to pick them ones up from my mate :)
 
Well the car has gone from standard looking to pretty much how i want it to look in the space of around 4 days!

My coilovers got delivered last monday along with 25mm H&R spacers

My mate fitted them on the monday night, 25mm spacers were too wide, so swapped with mates 15mm

The car was unbelieveably low when picked it up, raised it up on and carbon wrapped front S badge on the tuesday

Dewipered and removed 'Cupra R' boot badge on the Thursday

Cleaned Friday

Pressed plates and stickers fitted after VW Fest on sunday ... So pleased with the way it looks now, looks like a Leon should :D

.... Just need to drop the front end down a touch more and we will be laughing :)

Getting tracked at revolution in Newcastle next week, going for fast road set up :)
 
Looks nice mate, you've tempted me to de wiper instead of getting a fabia / polo wiper.

Only think I don't like is the wheel *****s sticker, should only be aloud when you have a nice set of euro rims ;)
 
Silver one aswell :D

Yeah i know what you mean about the sticker, but im a sucker for it :D

Yeah deffo have to meet up soon ... Hopefully be tracked up and drive properly next week!
