thats looking really good,your car would suit having black headlight protectors for the daytime.

 

[jake]

can you give us a rough idea as to what it would cost to spray passanger door and passanger rear door along with the bootlid. Its a black majic leon cupra R

 

[jake]

yeah,

depends upon the reason for painting,

doors £55 each, blend the quarter £65 the front wing £45 the boot £65.

stripping/build £58

plus vat and any dent repairs etc

Nice one Jake, much appriciated!

 

[jake]

right guy's

seats are in, my fingers kill what a mamoth task it was,

heres the secret, they are actually covers you fit yourself, how ever you do need basic skills, hog rings and pliers etc, its a long long job, taken me about 6hrs lol.

i didnt want to tell any one till i saw them to see what they were like, now i'll prob get shot down in flames but i dont have a grand to spend on retrimming seats and these are a good alternative, for less than £200 too.

also added an s3 engine cover

Hey, they're not bad. Your engine bay looks really tidy too, I like

 

[ScottHmk4]

[D.K]

also added an s3 engine cover

Did you have to mod this in any way to make it fit Jake?
Also how much was it

 

[jake]

yeah was a pain in the arse lol. took about an hour to do, there £70 from audi, like hens theeth 2nd hand

 

[jake]

seats are a big no no for me, the rest of the car looks a top job and you can see someones put alot of time and attention to detail into it, then to put seat covers in? i think they prob look/feel worse in real life as well, i would of left the standard seats in till you could buy the right seat the car deserves

 

[jake]

each to their own i suppose, like i say i need to get the fronts out and re do them tighter

 

[jake]

on a side note, i have a bit of engine smell, like a burning, now i dont know if im burning crap off from all the work i have done or if my hid's are causing it

did anyones hids smell first couple of uses?

 

[cupramillo]

Not keen on the rear lights but the rest is very nice. Alot of hard work done here and it shows

 

[jake]

the lights are really dark in some pics, tbh they have a really light coating, but i think my phone camera takes different lightings differently,

Hi mate, Car looks great! Also loved ur white gold mk4 what a beast! . Have you ever resprayed a mk2 leon? Im looking at getting my black leon sprayed white.. How mutch would i be looking at ? The roof / Spoiler / Defuser / Mirrors would not need spraying as they are already black
