[Gm8]

how it was when it came home :

brakes done , and painted ( drill bit in view lol , god damn stupid brake disk screw)

engine runs ok , do i need the breather filter ? it makes a hellish noise on deceleration .

the DE-BLING process , and some nice clean seats

still waitin on proper seat clusters , have ordered proper reg plate .

Looking better mate

 

[Cupra Kid]

Not bad for £300 howcome so cheap, high miler? or just had a few unnessacary mods?

 

[RobM]

Looks tidy enough for that sort of money. Engine could do with a good steam clean though

Let's be honest though... even if you spend 4 time that getting it up to the standard you want it, it's still a good value car!

 

[Gm8]

112k miles . some rust around rear arches , no mot . from what i c it needs all 4 brakes done then it 'should' pass mot

Get that piece of shat the fork off that car mate, its an ecotek valve, it makes that noise on deceleration as its supposed to be helping save fuel, its a load of bo11ocks mate. It also cuts into your brake servo so please, get it off sharpish.

For what its also worth, id wire wool your suspension struts etc down and give it a coat of the same black paint to stop it rusting any more.

 

[Gm8]

whats involved in removal then ? i need some tubing ?

 

[cordobabrendy]

you could remove the short end and connect the rest back onto where its coming from with a jubilee clip or, get a small bit of metal tubing to bridge the cut and jubilee clips each end to make it air tight.
If you are really stuck, remove the filter, tighten the valve as tight as you can get it and rotate it so noone can see it with the filter off.

yep i will , refurbing the wheels next week , so do it then , im f.......ed from doin the anchors lol

 

[cordobabrendy]

brakes are easy compared to some of the jobs you could take on. (bushes for example)
Is the interior missing plastics or were they blingy bits that you have removed?
(a set of mats will clean the interior up something brilliant too matey)

 

[Gm8]

done all the bushes on my vectra so i know what a tough job is lol the interior bits removed were sprayed silver . im cleanin them up with white spirit at the moment , i think ill need to replace some bits unfortunately tho . getting some decent mats soon .

if anyone can help me with the following id be much appreciated :
parcel shelf
washer jets ( to replace led badboys)
dash speaker grills
o/s foglight surround

pm me with prices

[cordobabrendy]

[richybigman]

Offside is drivers side

 

[Gm8]

[andyj]

I've got a parcel shelf, but with holes for 6x9's in it....

Yours for free if you want it

 

[Tom B]

Or nearside being near to the kerb, pedestrians, etc?

Nice buy, I thought my old GTI 16v was a bit of a bargain, but you've beat me!

I may actually have some dash grilles in my garage that you can have. They may need a lick of matt black spray paint as they've been on the garage floor for a while. If noone has offered you any more by next Wednesday, PM me and I'll post them to you! I'm off to Le Mans

 

[C11PRA DC]

If I had that I's be stripping it as a budget track/road car!

No need to then replace all the missing trim bits!

 

[sssstew]

Only £300... wow superb and in black its lovely. 112k isnt much for the engines they do much more if looked after right. returning it to a more original look is spot on

 

[DPJ]

Great buy!
