Hodson's Bocanegra

* Update * Photos

Managed to give her a quick clean and take some decent photo's since the roof and spoiler have been done.

Was also thinking about maybe trying to put an external hard drive into the glove box and run it into the USB. Has anyone done this? and if so where have you hidden the wires?

How did you wire the sub? Too the rear speakers?

Yeah spiced into them behind the head unit and then ran the RCA lead down under the trim

 

[jj mann]

Cheers that's what I wanna do I like the head unit too much

* Update * Purchased Forge Induction Kit

Will hopefully receive and fit tomorrow!!

The wire can be hidden between the two sections of the centre console. Behind the front cup holders you'll see the "join".
I lined the cable up along there, then round the passenger side to where the plastic for the vertical bit of the centre console runs out. Used a windscreen ice scraper to push the cable between the panels and out of sight then up behind the glovebox and over the top of the flap down section.

Cheers for that. Just had a look at yours and it does look tidy to be fair. I was considering just trying to buy a smaller USB lead so didnt have excess lead everywhere but still think i want it in the glovebox

Don't be afraid of pushing too hard on the cable.
I've changed mine for a thinner core cable, and it's gone all the way through rather than just sitting in the gap like the dual core cable originally.

Definitely should be in the glovebox, it'll just be taking up space that could be used for something else

nice thread mate, roof looks amazing, will look forward to seeing the updates

* Update * Forge Induction Kit Fitted and Custom Door Sills Fitted

Right haven't updated this for a while so thought I would do a quick one. Finally received my induction kit and fitted it and i swear it has made the blow off louder =]

And have also made some door sills using the cheap ones which Halfords sell. I am really please with how they have turned out!

Took your advice and put it in the glovebox so thanks for letting me know how you did it!
So much better!!

Car looks good mate really liking the door sill covers. Any noticable difference from fitting the induction kit other than making the blow off valve louder? Was thinking about getting the forge kit for mine but i might hold out for the itg.

Nice work mate!! I love how many people have got Bocs/Cupra's on here, yet every single one is completely different!! You've had some class ideas mate! How come you was asking about the standard wheels going on a different car? Are you thinking of different wheels?

Nice car mate, looks really good!

Cheers pal, yeah I think it makes it a bit more responsive in the mid ranges. I heard really good things about the ITG but managed to get a bargain on this one. Might sell this one and get an ITG in the future and see what that ones like.

Thanks! O i had a spare set of the boc/cupra alloys as i bought some for my previous mk5 but didn't really know if they would fit on other cars or not. I do want to powder coat mine black but again I'm trying to think of something a bit different. I know someone on here had the same idea as me with the Boc logo centre caps so definately want to do them but not sure what else to do

Hi, just looking for a little advice.

Thinking about buying a BOV but not really too sure what one to get , and maybe you are the people to ask. I am also looking for new light bulbs, i already have the Xenon headlamps, but think i could do with something a bit brighter any advice?

Cheers.

 

[jordantr]

really nice job you have done! i'm going to by some HID's, and i might my roof wrapped black.

Hey nice looking boc, any chance you could give me any more details on how you did the sub? I noticed you git a 61 plate so do you have rear speakers? I have a 2011 cupra and don't have them but really want a sub to the original head unit
