[Luke20vT]

Thanks, just in desperate need of some different alloys TBH.

Looks nice mate,needs the LCR front splitter now tho

 

[gezmeister]

Nice base to start from mate. I would advise you get some sort of bracket made up to hold the air filter on though, as the MAF's on these are very prone to failing due to being very sensitive to vibrations

 

[Luke20vT]

Thanks for the advice mate.

Pick up my lower grill from my local Seat dealership tomorrow... £36 I couldnt believe it.

Also been thinking alot lately about 17'' Rota Grids.... in orange, or lime green. Opinions?

£36 for that tiny grille? I bought one last year and it was only a few quid....I bought another pair of the larger ones either side 2 weeks ago and there only £8 each?

 

[Luke20vT]

I know mate, ridiculous prices, the two side grills with the fog light holders were £11 each but the middle SMALL grill was £36!

 

[adam cupra 20vt]

Where was that from mate? I'm sure I paid £6 for mine with discount but they should have been £8?

 

[Luke20vT]

It was from the Seat dealership in Oxford.

 

[james walker]

you not got a filter on the sai mate... also as said, strap that maf up tight or youll soon be needing a new one.

nice base to start modding on though

 

[Luke20vT]

Yeah, needs a few things doing. Its had the facelift front bumper sprayed so badly so that needs a respray... which means I should look for the skirts and rear bumper and get them all done at once.

I want to slam it on Rota Grid's, does anyone have any pictures of Grid's on Cupra's? There was a thread but I cant find it anywhere now.

Thanks, Luke.

 

[Luke20vT]

Hello, here are some more up to date pictures, sorry about the quality, they were only taken on the BlackBerry.

Enjoy/Laugh:

I've just ordered a rear wiper motor and arm. Thanks for looking, any comments and suggestions are welcome. Luke.

 

[Luke20vT]

Little update:

Coilovers have just arrived so I'm over the moon and the front bumper is being taken off next week and resrayed as the previous owner had done it very VERY badly with aerosol cans!! I'm also having the side strips removed.

When thats done, the coily's will be being fitted.

Next up: source a facelift rear bumper!

Luke.
