How times change...

the cornish solution to lowering is chucking a few hay bales in the back and sitting the maid up front! oo arr!

or this low...

Me and rashcupra were sitting on the boot ledge, I quite like it like this!

 

[Ad Lav]

Woo... car finally going in for respray on whole of the passenger side (rear 1/4 panel and door) boot and rear bumper!

The boot and bumper are the wrong shade of red...

Nice one mate.

I couldnt tell the difference.

But its the thing that you know its there.

 

[Georgel]

I thought you were going for facelift FR bumpers. Are you going down the FMIC route? Looks sweet btw.

 

[Ad Lav]

I have new FR bumpers front and back... don't need a FMIC with the new FR bumper but I might get one

 

[rashcupra]

i remember sitting in your boot for the photo to get it slammed

cheater!

[Ad Lav]

That was a funny day!

Middle two are being done end of the month, FMIC will be after xmas and the lowering when you next pop round!

 

[Ad Lav]

[CHR15B]

Looking forward to seeing it progress more mate... my coilovers are on order also now

 

[Ad Lav]

Looking forward to meeting more MK4 owners at the shows next year!

Maybe a new turbo next year... we'll see though!

 

[Deleted member 13581]

Yeah, im looking forward to seeing this car next year and meeting you mate.

Although, spec sheet will need updated. Must order laminating pockets for work.

 

[Ad Lav]

Ditto, good to put faces to names, met Mikey H and a few others at the weekend, top bloke, no wonder he blew up his engine mounts, drives his hire clio like a nutter!

 

[Deleted member 13581]

Yeah, was great at Edition to speak to people and get to know them instead of relating them to their cars.

Just cant wait to see whats planned for this car next after the 'im spending no more money speach' I know it wouldnt last.

 

[Ad Lav]

So did I... oh well, the exhaust needs doing - this ones wonky!

Clutch should be next really... my torque is a bit high

The FMIC is expensive but needed if I do a bigger turbo!

 

[Georgel]

Nice I thought they were Cupra bumpers thats why I mentioned the FMIC. Do you recall what the front bumper cost?

I got bumped up the arse in a carpark and they put on the facelift bumper, but not the FR model. I hate bodyshops!

 

[rashcupra]

oi i work in a body shop! was it insured to have that bumper on???

 

[Georgel]

Well here's the problem. It was insured, but I asked for them to stick on the facelift FR rear bumper. Apparently it cost slightly more, so I had to pay the difference. It wasn't till I picked the car up and the guy was telling me how he had to cut the bumper for the exhaust etc that I started to wonder. Don't get me wrong, it still looks good. Its just a shame even Seat don't know what a Facelift FR rear bumper is....

Because of the circumstances I don't really have a chance of going back and getting the correct bumper fitted.

 

[rashcupra]

well you could certainly get the extras money you payed back

 

[Georgel]

I can't really because they did it under my instruction, the fact I don't have a S1 or S2 FR bumper is a bit annoying!

 

[Ad Lav]

Opps, so you have a facelift rear but wanted the facelift FR rear??

And now you are after the facelift FR front?

I have prices and part numbers
