clean and a change of heart


well after considering selling her and moving on i finally got round to giving her a quick polish and clean down inside.While taking a couple of quick pics for the forum i have decided to keep her for a while longer, at least till i put her through the next m.o.t which is in April.
seats will need a good going over again as my boxer has made a right mess of them its only dirt so a couple for cleans and they should back to new.
1/ seat covers (wonder why lol)
2/ front wheel bearing
3/ 2 new tyres
4/ temp sensor need re newed
5/rattle coming from the cat cover. re bolted or rip it off.
Thing i may do just to spruce her up a bit.
1/ new front splitter
2/ new cupra r mats
3/ key fob not working may get fixed depending on price.
4/forge tubo intake pipe
5/ stage 1 map.if this gets done i will prob keep her till the summer.
6/ new rear badges as they are faded.
7/re furb the alloys a little lighter silver if i get them done.
So 4 to 6 months to rectify all or some of these points i will keep this updated i get these done. then it will be probably up for sale during the summer .

Looking good mate, yeh weathers crap just now, I've got my underground parking so I'm all good when it's raining and I need to do something to the car.

 

[n1scottyboy]

2 new tyres fitted on thursday and when checking my car frid noticed one of my jack point covers was missing
and both sills were beveled right out.So today i have spent the last hour hammering the lips under the sills back into place to get the sills straight and had to order another sill cover £15.00 not happy. The sills are not 100% flush but good enough at the moment ,maybey a little bit of silicone behind will hold them flush as it takes no effort when pushing them in to get them 100% flush.Also fixed the exhaust rattle as the exhaust cover had come loose.
Anyway just waiting on the new rear badges , new cupra r mats and the seat covers.
also got someone going to look at my central locking next week so fingers crossed the key only needs synced to my car again.

 

[Bigjohn84]

Looking good mate, I've also lost my drivers jacking point, I have 4 red Cupra R covers but they don't fit, also got 4 new Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric tyres to go on my new alloys when I get them, can't wait to get that extra grip, got my mot in Feb so got a few things I need to change first, keeps up the good work and keep the updates coming

 

[n1scottyboy]

How do they not fit ?Thought all the Gupta r ones were the same.I just got mine of eBay said they are original replacement so hope it fits , looks the same in the pic but it will need painted.

 

[Bigjohn84]

I've not got the R I have the FR mate totally different body kit

 

[Bigjohn84]

What's wrong with your central locking?

 

[n1scottyboy]

central locking

my key fob wont open and lock the car ever since i put a box in to my radio to plug my phone into to play music so i dont know if i have pushed a wire out or the key has just packed in .
i changed the battery in the key and tried to re sync it to the car but no joy.So i have an electician going to look at it next week

 

[Bigjohn84]

Have you pluged VCDs in to have a look?

 

[n1scottyboy]

Have you pluged VCDs in to have a look?

[Bigjohn84]
