not a very good pic but hey ho..lol

also piped in my oil catch tank...excuse the crap blue hose..silicone is on the way

 

[.Si.]

well..not much to report..

apart from a gritter lorry ruining my new paintwork

brand new bumper and everything else..plus paint wrecked by them tossers

so now i have to strip bumper back down and pay out to get it re-done..
plus theres a few on my fresh painted bonnet too..

ohh i did have a bad day saturday

but on one lighter note...got my black silicone hoses done for my catch tank

 

[fuzzy232]

is there no way of claiming ?

 

[.Si.]

i dunno mate..you know what they are like..this one was a highways agency lorry..not a local council one.
they would prob just fob me off in some way.

 

[fuzzy232]

Best get your bumper clear protect vinyl next

 

[.Si.]

or leave it in the garage

 

[.Si.]

did abit of pipe work today..already had blanked my egr so seeing as going front mount intercooler soon i thought i may as well go egr delete pipe to make things easier.

also painted up my discs that i just got...ready for the 312 upgrade..

 

[.Si.]

got the brakes done this arvo..

a small noticable difference..

before

after

so will sell this lot on now..my 288 set up..new pads and disc less than 1k ago...what they worth???

 

[.Si.]

well the bumpers back from repaint...gonna give it a few days before re fitting as needs a good flat and polish..
while it was away I modded my fogs to take smd angel eye rings...like I did with my facelift ones.
on these fogs they are all sealed so it was a case of heat gun to ease the glass off..insert the smds,then re-seal the glass..

 

[.Si.]

twin pass front mount intercooler piping started today..


will finish off tomorrow when my last two pipes turn up...hopefully..lol

not bad for under £200

 

[.Si.]

finished the intercooler pipework this morning..

57mm all the way..

bumper is on and all bolted up...and I painted the front of the cooler black to blend in..

gonna give him a wash tyoday as the suns out..so maybe a few more pics later..

 

[.Si.]

right..had a few hrs on the car..got it cleaned inside,and gave him a well deserved wash..

pic heavy time..

started with the indside

next up was a good snow foam session and a good scrub

cleaned the engine bay and blacked up a few plastics

then onto the outside...just a good wipe down after his scrub..

drl's all wired up and working...oh and my bumper repainted...again.

you can just about see the hose and clamps behind the lower centre grill for the intercooler...

hope its not too much...so enjoy..

looks nice and clean. is your intercooler off centre?
the pictures show your splitter a lot better does it meet the edge of the bumper under the fog lights?

yeh mate..intercooler is off centre due to inlet behing in the way of the bumper bar..

but for me..function over form is the name of the game...plus I didn't want to show it off so that's why I painted it black.

and yeh..splitter does meet the edge of the bumper...its very flexable so can be positioned were you like

 

[cupra.al]

i agree with function over form.
i really like that splitter its got to be the best ive seen fitted to a cupra bumper certainly 100% better than the lcr splitter fitment to the cupra bumper although they loook ok on the fr bumper.
im just put off putting screws through my bumper otherwise id probably have a laguna or alternative fitted my bumper.

cheers mate..i have to admit..i like the splitter too...lcrs are everywhere,plus don't fit right on these bumpers..
I felt abit warey,as I bought my bumper brand new..so putting holes in it did tighten the backside..but even with the splitter removed you cant see anything as the holes are right underneath..

but its well worth it.

 

[FR_MATT]

Nice updates, I think if I ever get a fmic I'll be doing something similar

I've absolutely love the splitter if it didn't have the holes in it

cheers matt
