it's been a little while since i updated this thread, so heres a little one 
well after recieving my cupra callipers, eliptically grooved brembo disk's and ferrodo ds2500 pads from benny (cheers ) we fitted them yesterday
well, thanks to my mate dan, the brakes are now on my car, we encountered a few problems with a few bolts that didn't like to move, and the top of the bleed nipple snapped off on the passenger side, it didnt move at all so its safe enough to drive for a week. then it's going to a+d (my local garage) to get heated up with the oxyacetylene torch and a new nipple bunged in. overall it took about 45 - 60 mins to do both sides
but so far im very happy with them at the moment, there better than my old ones, even though there a little bit spongy (which was to be expected as we bled the passenger side through the brake line itself!)
so thanks dan :thumbs:
and heres a picture where you can just see the calliper and the grooved disc's

theres not been any progress with the car over the past few months, just been through an MOT with a n advisory on brake lines but thats the usual stuff really.
ive got a plan for summer though with a wheel change and a few more little tweaks so keep your eyes on this space

since the last update, nothing much has happened with my car, ive sprayed my wheels white (just to get an idea of what they would look like as i will be getting them powdercoated later on) and added a red stripe round the edge.
bought 4 toyo proxe T1R's, aero wipers, a universal 77mm air filter, a honda s2000 aeriel, and some new 6x9's
just two pictures of how she looks now

New wheels look far better than the old ones tbh! But then each to their own for whoever had the car before you!

been a while since an update on here, since last time i posted, i had a little bit of an accident in the snow, so now ive got a new front panel, 2 new headlights, a CUPRA bumper and a new bonnet which is waiting to go on.
also got a set of HID's for full beam to complete the lighting side of things.
Future mods:-
Get the front end sprayed up, and the skirts and lower part of rear bumper colour coded.
Fit some 20mm spacers to the rear.
Get a wheel refurb with a nice colour scheme
Lower it a bit more on coilies
heres just two snaps of how it looks currently!!

Another update here, the car is looking a hell of a lot better if i must say so myself, i've fitted the new bonnet, and had the front end sprayed, along with the sideskirts and lower rear bumper looking more like a cupra now
so heres a few pics, i'll appreciate a few comments
