Peter's MK3 cupra

[peter_cupra197]

Hi all, seen loads of these being done recently so i thought it was about time i started mine lol well where do i start bought her off a guy on here nearly a year ago Tim Spencer i believe his name was, any way had 79k on the clock with a few good base mods including forge tip, revo stage 1, lowered on H&R cup kit, Forge frontmount, and 007p dump valve heres how she looked when i picked her up:

From there i tinted the windows and changed the wheels (as i would later regret)

never really ended after that, got a private reg, de-wipered, got the original wheels back, tidied up the bay, full services every 4-5k,

last two weeks i have been really busy, i have now upgraded to ko3s, fitted a 3" downpipe and de-cat, just ordered my new dump valve (TurboSmart) along with the relocation parts, just ordered the jetex air filter kit also, sent my wheels of yesterday to be refurbished in anthricite, and booking in with AMD in the next week or so to upgrade to Revo stage 2 will update pics as follows all comment will be taken on the chin lol

Looking good buddy, you got any pics of your washer bottle and what have you done with your old one?
