i rather like this. it looks even better when you see it up close. get that spoiler on, our spoilers both looked tiny when we were parked at either side off tills' cupra at the show. its suprising how much of a difference that makes.

My single gloss black rub/bump/side strip was annoying me, i'd painted it on the car a couple of months ago and had a little bit of overspray.
So off it came sanded it down with this little feller:

And after id sanded it:

Then wiped it down with some prepaint and after 1 coat of gloss black it looked like this:

Then gave it a key and lacquered it and then it looked like this:

Much tidier now and i also got the overspray off the bodywork.

Quite like it without the side strips, may look into getting them smoothed out in the future:

Thanks! Yeah i may put the mods on hold for a bit and try save up for one very big mod any guesses? Costs about £2k to do

Really like this!!

The Oz's are an unusual/uncommon choice of wheel for the mk4 but I really like them and think they really suit the car!

Look forward to seeing the car progress further!

Looking good, how does it ride on the FK's compared to standard? Recommended or not?

Thanks! Yeah i haven't seen any other SuperT's on the road! Trying to be different!

At first they were verryy bouncy but now they've settled i love them, misses hates them, but i like them! Only my first set of coilovers so haven't really got much to compare them with. Much better than standard, which annoyed me because standard ones are quite firm but cant handle! These are more firm and corner like a dream! For budget coilovers i'd highly recommend them!

Looking really good mate. Really nice choice of mods! I'm surprised you managed to find a cupra spoiler on ebay, they never seem to be on there when I look

 

[Jordanwaterhous]

Its the first one ive ever seen on ebay and the last one since! Going to get it sprayed up in january, and have the rear bumper resprayed because it looks like it has previously and the paint match isnt that good in certain light. I'll also get the numberplate surround done it gloss black (currently vinyled) aswell as getting the rear valance/diffuser smoothed and sprayed gloss black!

 

[wrayvon]

Not getting much done then

All looks very nice though, quite jealous of a fair few things!

Haha i've got a head full of ideas but a wallet empty on money haha!

I'll be continuing spraying the side strips this weekend, once i get the trim tape so i can stick them back on the car! Quite liking how it looks without them!

Think that is the case for most people on here mate!

Quick question for you, I notice you said you put an FR wheel in. Did you previous wheel have steering wheel controls?
