Gregs mk3 hybrid project

[gregy_reynolds]

Nope no bike, got my own house in the summer and kinda stopped spending on cupra, coz it had a timing issue due to crap garage but now everythings all sorted i will start buying again.
i bought D90s in october waiting on adaptors coming so i can get them on

bad times is it all sorted now?

D90s are sick jst de ken what color to get mine. gonna get coilovers before fitting them too. much were ur wheels and adapters?

 

[gregy_reynolds]

Not updated this for a while so i thought id take some pics of the car 2day on the way to play golf.
After my hols the coilovers will be fitted and D90's will be on, should look no bad. will post up pics when iv done that.

 

[gregy_reynolds]

well a few thing have happened since i last posted back in 19canteen lol

coilies on

iv raised it slightly at the front but still get the horrible splash guard scraping noise when accelerating hard

 

[gregy_reynolds]

been using the k1 alot and when i went back into the mk3 the first thing that annoyed me was the horrible grey plastics and roof lol. so its all black now haha

also fitted the mk4 rear view mirror

Looks gorgeous! How did you do it? Spray the pillars or new ones? Been wanting all black interior for ages. How they let their top spec ibiza go through with that horrible beige colour is beyond me!

 

[gregy_reynolds]

Cheers mate. Yeah its sprayed with flexible vinyl paint. The rear view mirror is out a Mk4 golf. Yeah Ur right. Every
high end car should have black interior. My mate has a corsa vxr and its the same a horrible beige colour yet the astra sxi has full black interior lol. Stupid!

[gregy_reynolds]

Does this need plastic primer too??

 

[gregy_reynolds]

No mate just Matt black paint straight to the roof lining and flexible paint straight to the plastics, visors etc

 

[gregy_reynolds]

[R4cup]

Roof liner & scuttle looking good

 

[gregy_reynolds]

Cheers bud. How's Ur car cunin on?

 

[R4cup]

Good mate, starting to get the interior to look like how i want it starting with the roof liner.
I guess its just a case of taking liner off & spraying it with a few coats?

Taking her on the rollers on the 29th to see what shes running before i change the turbo

 

[gregy_reynolds]

Yeah mate i think i gave mine about 3 coats. Are you painting the plastics?

Nice one what turbo are you fitting? I have a ko3s sitting waiting to be sent away to cr but gonna wait till after xmas now. What figures are you roughly expecting to see?
