Richys MK1 LCR (Cobra turbo back/ AMD stage1+/ AP coilovers, Wellycooler, Recaros)

[Richy Cupra]

Finally got my LCR delivered this morning and talk about a kid in a sweetshop, i didn't know what to do next. Guy i bought it off of had already polished it for me and has been sitting in his workshop for the past 3 weeks, so i didn't need to touch the bodywork!!

Cheers dude. Iv got a lot of stuff planned but atm im just doing little things while shes off the road. When i get her back on the road then exhaust, remap and lowering etc. will be on the cards
