Phil-B's Mk3 Flash Red Ibiza Cupra R -28/6/11 Last update, now for sale :(

[Phil-B]

100% better on the cupra R wheels, lovely combination with the red, and I much prefer the stance on the 16's

These are the 17s they aren't actually seat sport ones i wanted them slightly bigger.

Could you send me the link as well for the stubby mirror please

Are you still after the link mate?

looking good fella much better with the intercooler on show

Cheers!

Love them wheels mate need to get mine sorted soon!

Thanks mate, need a mini meet soon!


Small update, I got it tracked not long after putting the tyres on as i wanted to make sure they weren't going to wear unevenly. Got a quick pic while it was on the ramps.

Also fitted a new Lamda sensor as i was getting a code up for it on the vag com, cleared the fault and it hasn't come back

Finally it stopped raining today so i changed my abs sensor which didn't turn the light off thinks its an auto electrician to see if the wires the issue.


My mini washer bottle had arrived the week before so i whipped out the huge standard one along with the evap and cable tied in the washer bottle in until i make a little bracket for it this week.

So the before and after pics:

And the left overs

Also been having a bit of fun with snow foam with my mate and went an took some 'just cleaned pics' in a nice little place we found

Next thing to do is get the battery in the boot and get the abs looked at my an auto electrician!

Only a small update. My order from Opie oils arrived today so went straight outside and changed the oil, the oil filter and some new plugs.




Also mounted my new mini washer bottle properly instead of cable ties





Now i'm on the stand at gti inters my job tomorrow is fully machine polish her if my bits come from cleanyourcar.co.uk in time!

This will be the last update i'm making for the Cupra I've got a new job where i will be travelling 55 miles a day so i need a diesel!

I was on the stand at inters and wanted to make some changes before the show and fully machine polish her to!

I changed the bump strips to black ones, colour coded the mirrors back to red, cleaned all the arches and inside of wheels again and fitted nice new interior handle surrounds.

Heres the pics that where taken at the show





Will be very sad to see her go but i've absolutely loved owning it

Its now for sale in For sale section and PH

Yeh I'm gutted! Always wanted a mk3 Cupra but I just couldnt afford to keep it

I think I'm set on a Fabia Vrs, I was really surprised at the times they were getting own the strip at inters!

 

[EddyCupra]

Fair play that is a stunning car! Just wondering if you knew the size of the number plates on there as they look sweet?

 

[Phil-B]

God i haven't been on here in a while! Its a 3/4 size one i think.

Reading through this makes me miss her so much! My mate ended up buying it off me and is carrying on it's pampered life!
