My onvi yellow fr tdi (cupra r replica)

[Nick2008]

Just thought I'd share a few pics of my leon. She started life as a completely standard fr tdi 150 with standard facelift bumpers, starfish wheels etc, however, I was lucky enough to find an onvi cupra r breaking near me so had the front, rear bumpers and wheels (I believe he is a member on here). The s badge was sprayed black so decided to spray the wing mirrors black to match and had the roof and spoiler done yesterday, also had a square number plate made up, anyway enough jibba jabba here are the some pics hope you like (the mark on the bumper was caused by a t*sser in morrisons car park today)...

Hi Nick

I'm looking some help from standard height fr tdi owners.

Would u be able to measure the distance from the road to the top of the wheel arch for the front and rear wheels?

Then if its not too much of an ask, jack the car up and measure the same distance just as soon as the wheel is leaving the road.

I'm trying to guess as best I can how much the standard springs compress. I lowered mine 40mm and I'm not happy with the softness of the new springs and want to send the standard ones away to get stiffer ones made.


Thanks
Nick

Thats cause you need uprated shocks to go with lowering springs

Lowering springs on standard shocks is always going to be bouncy

I got the weitec gt 40/40 kit complete with dampers. The weitec springs are progressive and I hate it. Only reason they are still on the car is it sits nice and I'm not paying to have them swapped back so soon after being installed.

Forgot to mention the indicators are tinted aswell and have cupra r floor mats, am hoping to fit the recaro interior and possibly some wind deflectors to finish her off.
