Hi, after a while posting on here and gaining a few tips here and there, i thought i would finally post up a couple of pics.
So i have done the following mods on the car:
17" FR alloy wheels powdercoated
Eibach Coilovers
Painted Calipers
Cupra front splitter
Skoda rear aero wiper
Powerflow cat back system
6000k HID dipped beams

Get the wheels resprayed or new ones first! Get em white and smash some blue calipers on = sick

 

[MPJ88]

lol, thats a definite no to black then! Yeah i'm not too fond! didnt really like white, seen that before. But just a standard silver or something should look good

 

[jonisginger]

So why do I always see you car parked up at the sports centre at York Uni?

 

[Oj 89]

why is it so high?? IMO red looks cupra Rish, which classes as OEM+, which is good in my books

HAHA, because i play squash there a lot for uni! I wondered if its your car id seen driving down broadway then onto heslington lane.

How have you seen it on campus?

Yeah i know looks mighty daft! The colour looks a bit better in the flesh but still considering getting them resprayed over easter time.

Nah it won't be mine, mine is at home I'm a first year, I live next to Wentworth Porters in shitty Langwith G Block.

If you're here next year you should see my sexy beast (readers ride thread, middleish page) cruising about.

 

[MPJ88]

Yeah ive read all your thread, oh ok well theres another blue leon about with some largish alloys on it!

You'll get to stare at mine for the rest of the year then, wishing you had yours!

 

[jonisginger]

Lol, staring up at it.

 

[MPJ88]

Pfft shush! Atleast i have mine at uni ! If you're in the sports centre i'm usually in the squash courts, names matt johnson!

Cya around maybe!

 

[jonisginger]

Ahh. I'm a swimmer and I dabble in Basketball and the gym, that's about it. Ha. Squash is allegedly fun though.

Looking good mate, got any shots of the front and rear? What do you think of the powerflow?

 

[MPJ88]

Yeah will get some more decent pics up after ive washed it this week. Just spent most of today replacing all brake rotors and pads. MOT on monday!

I do like the powerflow, sounds great when i'm giving it a bit of a thrashing! However if i had the choice again i'd prob keep a mid box as it does get a bit annoying on motorway journeys or if just trying to drive sensibly!

Skoda VRS Green

£powerflow?

Woo a massive easter break

 

[jgy6000]

id go red

 

[MPJ88]

If your asking how much it cost it was £300 for a cat back system. lol, woop woop. When the car was full of stuff to go home it looked like how i want it to!

Cheers for all the replies! Will get some better pictures up soon.

Ended up taking the front bumber off today took a few pics of that too. The first time ive done anything like that was quite interesting and surprisingly easy!

 

[MPJ88]

Updated first and second post with some more/better pictures.

Going to get some sidelights to match the HIDs today and MOT in 30 mins (fingers crossed!)
