Mike's Smoothed, Slammed, Candy white L.C.R Build.. MISSION COMPLETED - SOLD!!

[Jamie7]

Great thread bud, such a change in before / after!

 

[Mike R]

Cheers mate just a little

100 new stainless split bolts ordered today for when i refurb my wheels over winter..Still cant decide on colours

 

[cupra-barn]

Dammit!! Feel for ya mate but wont be long till its back up to standard

 

[Niall2.0]

thats class

 

[Mike R]

Cheers guys.. Yep all back up to standard

Split bolts have arrived, just need to give them a final polish up as at the moment there semi polished..

Still need to decide on wheel colour.. centres will be sent off to be powder coated this time to they stay mint ( hopefully )..

Roof will be going green soon too.. if i dont like it ill get it sprayed again..simples

And over winter ive decided stage 2 is needed.. altho i drive like a pansy most of the time due to it being so low and not wanting to damage it ..

 

[drka-drka]

Low and slow (But can go fast if i wanted ) is the way forward!!

 

[Mike R]

Certainly Is .. i love openin it up on a nice bit of road.. and surprising people who think its a 1.6 or something ..

Your going stage arent you mate?.. Have you got your sfs 3" tip yet.. im after one in green

 

[drka-drka]

Yup its awsome feeling.

I sure am mate, all im needing now is a 3" DP and so on. Iv got a Badger5 TIP but im selling it as i want a SFS one....in purple of course haha. The green is gonna look awsome, you got any update pics of the bay??

How did you stop the airbag light coming on in your mate, iv got the MK5 seats in now and im trying to figure out what i can do

 

[Mike R]

Ah rite coool .. thats the route ill have to go down soon... Havent got any update pics as havent done a lot recently to the bay.. thats my winter project lol.. i cant find any anodised green bolts anywhere so thats one idea out ... The seats.. my light is still on lol.. but youll need to put resistors in to the plugs that went in to the seats.. if you scroll back some pages i have a link and what ohm they were.. youll then need the light reset and hopefully it will stay off... mine did untill i was hoovering and pulled the resistor out the plug.. now my light is on but it doesnt really bother me lol

 

[drka-drka]

Well im looking forward to seeing them, thats all iv done really is engine work recently. Iv got these mate, you can get them in green

also if you just buy bolts i know a guy on here who can annodize stuff, that could be option.

Cool i wil have a look thru, wont you fail a MOT if its like that? im planning on putting mine thru it when i get back

 

[Mike R]

Cool they look good... where did you get them from, i looked on the site i thought you did and there wasnt green ones ..

Yes it will fail an mot if the lights on and i have one very soon!.. need to sort it but been lazy recently.. cold weather makes me hibernate.

 

[Mike R]

M.O.T wednesday ..

Then its going away for the winter so i can do the bits i want to..

Whats the best way to take all the calipers off the car?.. dont wanna be squirtin fluid all over my paint

 

[Mike R]
