hey guys this is my first car and its a 1.2 12v Rs model.
This is my car for 3 years at least, I'm still to get some good pictures up of it but this is the progress so far.
Comments welcome and opinions welcome too!
mods:
New brakes
Exhaust
Tinted windows
(genuine) Audi RS4 alloys
Cupra interior
Comming soon!:
lowered - coilovers or springs
Airfilter & cold air feed
Painted car and alloys
More power
New grill and towing eye
LCR splitter
So this is the beginning, September 2011.
I got the car with 27k on it and its a 07 reg not bad in my view.
So as im not going to get massive gains out of the small 3 pot engine that Seat give you I thought I would make it look nice and try and make it my own.
So first I upgraded the front disks and cleaned the rear drums, tightened the hand brake and spreyed the calipers BLACK....
£40 is a steal!
New disks on the car
Next i wanted a exhaust but nothing that would get me unwanted attention. I had seen seat had a factory exhaust, I priced it and they wanted £455 plus fitting So after politly telling them that was a rip off I used eBay and found the part for £145, I would of had it for less but missed it by ten minutes. So I fitted it in the garage on a wet weekend
In progress
New exhaust
also fitted mud flaps at same time.
So then I headed down to Crail raceway with a few guys from the Club Im part of for a day. It was a blast and trying to keep up with a 300bhp leon on the way there was consuming. So after a full tank(£50) and £20 more the day was over and was lots of fun, for being the most under powered car in the convoy i was 3rd most of the way even on the backroads!
So when i got back i kinda sat back and thought, i really want a 1.8t! Well what can i do till then, so i bought a Cupra interior. its now fitted and fully working and im pleased with it just got to get the light as mine and the Cupra ones are different and thats me.
Cleaning the new seats ect.
Had to run like this for a few days
then...
done
Wheel Lip
Polished S
so guys any ideas?
what do you think? ino its not the first but i think it looks okay.
Update: 22/9/12
So i have not really done much, looking at a new car!
Seat wanted £47.62 for a light. so ordered it up and a month later they said it was being build for me, as it was out sourced to a new company with the new ibiza(6J) so i cancelled and got out the plastic paint.
Also done pillars as they looked shabby.
Hate having my car like this.
possible a new car soon! will see.
