Hey,
Right my LCR has seen a lot of work over the past 2 years and has clocked up 70k since I got it (not on 93k), its got full service history and had an engine rebuild at 60k so is driving sweet with plenty of boost etc, however I cannot keep putting 90 miles a day on her and pulling her off the road to use as a weekend/social car and getting a cheap run around for the commute.
Anyway, whilst she is off the road Im using the cash I save on fuel, to fix the LCR up to show room standards, but I have the following Q's, can anyone help?
1. My passenger door was dented (hit in a car park), it has creased the 'styled' part of the door above the strip, is this a reskin? new door? the car will eventually be resprayed so I want the nicest repair possible.
2. The steering wheel is loosing its black and showing red through it, can this be dyed/coloured, or is it a new wheel?
3. The car pulls left and the steering wheel sits off center, ive had the tracking etc done by 2 seperate garages and its spot on, wears tyres evenlly too, its just the red line on the wheel is about an inch to the right and if you let go it pulls to the left, or if you center the steering wheel it also pulls to the left.
4. I hit a dead badger few nights ago, has ripped off the plastic skid pan under the oil sump, is this a cheap part? does it even need to be there?
5. Ive broken the passenger rear light plastic back (bit you unclip on the boot), is this an easy/cheap part to get hold of? Part no?
6. I need to replace both rubbers down the rear doors (sit between the two doors), cheap? part numbers?
7. Need to replace the Cupra R badges all around the car, best place to get them?
Once ive fixed her up a local bodyshop is respraying in original colours for a refresh, alloys refurb and then a splitr and hids fitted.
Thanks in advance
Mike
