You know your next car will be a cupra lol

Whats next mod then you buying ?

lol i did intend to get a mk3 but iv always got a soft spot for naturally aspirated power, jus feels better somehow.
I do want a LCR225 tho next tho.

as for mods on this car im not sure yet perhaps the engine bay jus get sum colour coded bits i.e hoses and leads etc

anyone got any ideas on what i could do?? Also need some sideskirts as didnt have any when i bought it.

Just bought some new wheels, collecting them on Saturday.
OZ Superturismos 16" and in white for now, will be spraying them in the not too distant future but indecided on what colour to have? Also need to get hold of some seat sport stickers.
Will be keeping the speedlines for winter use and the OZ's for the summer/ shows.
Cant wait to collect them.

Car looks really good mate. :thumbup: .And with such a low mileage as well for the age of it.

You have made a good choice with the Oz's. I love my set on my mk2, suits the car so well. You painting them yourself??

Im thinking of refurbing my wheels, I think in Seat Platinum Grey with the Oz/Seat Sportred stickers.

Thanks mate i appreciate the comment, ye i cant believe such low milage drives like a dream and feels so tight.
Ye i was going for compomotive mo's but i spoke to dinky dave about them and he said that better off without them as peeling is pretty bad dude so thought id go with the OZ's instead.
I doubt il paint them myself, im fine working on the car mechanically and that but painting id rather leave to somebody down my kneck of the woods that will do a good job.
Im thinkin of sprayin them a grey colour buit unsure as to which shade yet, going to get some of the OZ racing and seat sport stickers too.

Of all the things that can go wrong my windscreen has decided to give up the ghost, only noticed the massive crack on the passenger side after my gf told me, how the hell did i miss that.
Got it booked in for monday morning was going with autoglass but they quoted me £320 as my insurance wont cover it, this company who are fitting quoted me £111 which is sweet, ah well theres always going to be something.

The OZ's are now on, were a bitch to change as the locking wheel nut tool didnt fit the socket that my friend and i had so had to trek to his dads garage to get a longer bar with a bigger socket, must say they look awesome and am going to keep them white, will be refurbed at some point tho.
As for the Speedlines going to spray them instead and have them as winter wheels.
Pics will follow soon just too dark now

Finally got a picture of the wheels i bought, not too sure whether they are OZ Superturismo's, apologies for the poor picture combination of bad camera and lack of light.
Had them on the car for few weeks but took them back off as weather is stil grim thats why they are bit dirty. They look awesome on the car though.

Im lovin the car mate got it booked in for a full service this weekend so will be in tip top condition, been slowly cleanin engine bay will get pics when i get the car back. Ye the wheels look awesome onthey dont look amazing in that pic because of the dirt lol, they are a quite a bit heavier than the speedlines i have to agree with u they must be the lightest iv ever handled.

what size where the speedlines dolly? width?
The Tyres on the speedlines are 195/50/r15 but dolly will know more than i do on that.

On the other hand i dropped my car off for its service and while its in there they gave me a courtesy car, iv taken it to a company called GDA Motorpsorts who specialise in Jap cars so i thought you never know i might get a scooby but got this bad boy instead
