Project Euro

[kieran_cupra]

Hi all.

After sorting alll the mechaical problems out with the car ive decieded to get the car looking as good as it should. Ive decied to take the cupra down the euro route as im bored with the black wheels now. Ive had the rear arches rolled this morning and Ive got the car booked in to a mates bodyshop for a course of smoothing and a full repaint. Should be happening after christmas when i get back from working away . Should be running the coilovers and some deep dish euro wheels ( not saying what yet)

Going to get my new leaon splitter smoothed in and painted with the eyebrows ao hopefully it wont fall offf on the M1 this time.


Want to do something different with the onvi but no sure what yet? Ideas welcome . Its just one big blank Canvas

Good luck to you my friend!

Not the easiest colour to do the whole Euro thing with properly. Some of the best "Euro" projects have been mad colours (Venom Lupo, Oxford Edition Speedster)

if ur going euro keep the car solid yellow will look really nice if u lower it right down with a set of dished rims with polished lip. i work in a bodyshop ive seen some very poor out comes of people try to flip yellow with other colours. If uve got the money go for a full colour change seen some very very nice silver to gold flips and red to purple there is also the chromeaflair which is about 6-7 diff colours. the paint company standox supply some very cool colours.

Yeah i want to keep it the solid colour. Was thinking of maybe having the top half a darker yellow or a black not to sure yet , Yeah seen the wheels i want. Going to buy them in the nest few weeks.

Could do with some photshops of yellow cupras

[beezaturbo]

i'm sure we can get it lower.

 

[pdcupra]

3cm better for you?

 

[LEON_FR]

smooth everything...low...some bbs wheels or deep dish type wheels...one solid colour with just a black roof??

 

[beezaturbo]

yeah 3's better, dont know how he'll drive it mind, mine s about 8.5 cms to the front bumper and its a little awkward come speed hump time.lol

i'm going for smoothed and colour coded, then in the summer stick my polished d90'd back on.

 

[pdcupra]

lol yeah i know that...

 

[beezaturbo]

air suspension is for wimps if you want it low then have it low.
its currently on some 16" white compo mo's with the suspension rasied about 10mm.
cant wait to get it in pfautos bodyshop to get it sorted.

i've posted these pics before but oh well, here goes

i know the bumper doesn't line up, this will be sorted when it goes into the bodyshop for a full hit.

 

[pdcupra]

how do you keep your d90's mint?

 

[kieran_cupra]

yeah looks good mate, should be mint when that wings all sorted. Having all the swange lines taken out of the bumpers, lock removed on the door lcr splitter smoothed into the bumper and painted, eyebrows, the lines in the body under the back lighs removed and the number plate recess 'adjusted' then a full repaint to freshen the car up, ready for show time

This was my "Euro" Polo...

You'd have clearance issues but some wide 15" would look nuts on a Cupra!
