leon cupra - winter protection

[betty_swollox]

I prefer the scooby by a mile

 

[toosmiles]

the car will look stunning when your finished with it m8

 

[big eck]

It is a seat forum haha. There both great cars in their ow. Way

That's nothing to do with it lol.

I've just never been a big scooby fan, more of an Evo lover which is why I bought one over the other.

I just think the Leon does everything that both the scooby and Evo can do without the extortionate running costs.

Those in the know, know the Spec C is a bit special! It was doing 7:58's round the ring 10 years ago, no grippy track tyres either!

So today I set about the bodywork,

After a wash, I put the car on the ramp, then removed the spoiler, the repeaters and the washer jets, along with the plates.

This was the headlight before, typical subaru quality plastic lol, you can just see the hazing on the top of the light

I treated the body with atomised tardis. Then once all the tar etc was gone, I then clayed the car,Then masked the car up, ready for machine polishing.

Usual steps, 3m fast cut with green pad, then 3m fine polish on yellow pad, followed by 3m ultrafina, final steps were to wipe it all down, then wax the body with ag hd wax and treated the windows with gtechniq g1

Final pics.
