Please excuse the bumpers.. they will be coming off and replaced with standard ones.

Also please excuse the hole in the mesh.. thats where the silly loud Powerflow exhaust was.
 
Nice tidy looking Copper 16v. Glad to hear itt's going back to standard, and getting rid of all that fibre-glass rubbish.
I'm liking the side-skirts colour-coded, are you going to to the same with the lower splitter on the bumper? Look good...
Have to do something with the grill as well I think, the mesh looks too chav!:lol: Back to standard, or paint it black.

;)
 
My old car mmmm i loved that car, here car some other pics..
BEFORE



AFTER




I got the car and it was in a bad state. dents in the bonnet and door with no side skurts and messy front end, i then got all the parts i needed from the dealer and skrap yards then fixed every light thing and had it resprayed i do have a complete parts list of every thing i payed for if you want it. but after 6 month i wanted a mk3, i nearly put a bid on this car last month when i saw it on Ebay but i thought it would cost me to much to run both.
You have a good car there and low milage.
 
let me know about the bumpers - nearly bought them myself a while back gotta be better than a really crap f2 mine has at the moment

looks a tidy motor though - nice one

reminds me what copper should really look like ;)

hehe or is a really good camera?

cant wait to see ur car back to standard mate.
 
Nice to see the old owner's on here and has a load of history! :D

Can you not remove the lower rear spoiler and get a replacement bottom bit off a scrapper bumper? I know SEAT say they're one piece, but I've never looked at my bumper in that much detail.
 
I used Auto Glym Bodywork Shampoo and Conditioner (Sounds like a bloody advert?!) and Auto Glym Super Resin Polish. My manager was a champion on Concourse with his Ford RS's so got some hints and tips from him. The 2 Bucket Method is a great way to start!

Yeah I looked at that but I don't think it was possible, plus I wanted it to look as tidy as possible as well and had the budget for a new bumper so took that route.

Got to try and sell the old exhaust now.. Don't think I'll bother on here.. everyone has their head screwed on and wouldn't want this exhaust.. thank god for ebay!!:D
