Cupra seats....?

 

[wenman]

Nope just an interior out of a 1.9 so has the same seats as my old standard fr ones.
Mainly bought it for the door cards etc because mine are battered from putting my bike in the car!
Package turned up today, I'm proper excited just need some good weather

 

[wenman]

I managed to fit half of the new interior, seats etc aren't going in, just plastics to tidy it up
I may get the standard seats re-trimmed and get rid of the bucket seats.
Also the brakes were on the way out so new disks all round and some black diamond pads for the front

 

[wenman]

Dirty winter car

Brakes should be getting fitted tomorrow if i can be bothered!

 

[wenman]

I managed to fit the new disks yesterday, they're from M-tec and they're a nice quality and really cheap!
But the brake pads that were sent to me were for a Cupra and not an FR
So trying to sort that at the moment!

Nice car mate. A lot of work gone into it.

Managed to give it a good going over with the DAS6 yet? Don't know how I used to polish without one these days!

 

[wenman]

Cheers Marshey.
Nah I haven't yet, not had a full day to clean the car properly
Can't wait to try it though!

 

[wenman]

I've damaged it again, manage to hit the door on a curb while reversing and bent the bottom corner of the door in
I'll put some pics up later.

 

[wenman]

Poor car

 

[wenman]

I finally managed to get my front pads done, took just over an our from start to finish so not too bad!

[wenman]

[phillpotts92]

[wenman]

[wenman]

Well it's overheated this morning so it's sitting in a car park.
Borrowed the girlfriends Fiat 500, I much prefer it haha
Going to tow it to the garage after work tonight, going to get the coolant leak fixed, get it serviced, cambelt and waterpump done and see if anything else is wrong whilst it's there.
Right before bloody Christmas as well!!
An M3 is looking good at the moment!

 

[BeezaDave]

Hang in there mate

 

[wenman]

Cheers dude

 

[wenman]

Had a service, waterpump and cambelt etc done, the car feels very smooth now.
But iI think ive had enough of it completely not enjoying it atm.
Aftrr christmas im going M3 shopping, and a supersprint non res centre section and supersprint race back box will be ordered.
Listen to them on youtube <3 heaven

 

[wenman]

Still looking at M3's but i have to admit the car is impressing me at the moment, 325 miles to a tank this week
Ill get the door sorted next month if i still have it!
