well proberly due a decent update...
Not much has happened tbh tho... started working on it again this week
new clutch and smf
lips on the wheels sanded down and polished
full polish and wax

next plans... same as before really

all new smooth cupra door strips (painted)
exhaust
back bumper crack re-paint etc
side skirts re-paint
new hids and side lights
new A posts + all little jobs

been toyng with the idea of selling up and getting something newer but after thinking about it, its just not worth selling mine just yet considering what il get or it and how much iv spent on it...
want it lookin good for he start of summer... got layed off a few weeks ago but start my new job on thursday so cash will be a little tight for a few weeks but then im on the car rather than spending all my wages getting pissed up and going out like i have done recently... il get a few pics up over the next couple of days

cheers

overdue update

Well a long and overdue update is needed...

got the new exhaust tip on today, took it to a local specialist (Rebel power pipes) would highly advise them after what i saw today, very profesional and to a very high quality.

All i wanted was a new tip as the car hasnt had one on since i have had the new back bumper on, but they put about 20inches of stainless pipe before the tipe about half an inch bigger than the pipe is that it connects too and that it was before, so now it seems quite noticable louder than before, which is good :D:D

Quick video



Also a couple of pics of the new lips on the wheels and my matching painted calipers. There looking a little dull in the pics, but after a quick autosol, they come up lovely and shinny

Ive got a new set of hids ordered aswell because i couldnt find a replacement ballast anywhere

Im going to try and fit some SUBTLE mud flaps to the rear... more for function than looks, were i live out in the country the roads are always a mess and ive just started to notice a tiny amount of paint missing on the bumper around the wheel arch, so im going to see if i can make them work

also you might be able to notice one side of the car has go its bump strips removed, finnally managed to get all the glue off the car, now im just need to by a full set of new bump strips which work out at over £100 then have them sanded and painted, but wont be doing that until the rest of the car goes in for its bodywork, so that wont be for a good few weeks
all opinons welcome

Well sad times are among us as iv put down a deposit down for a new car today. Ive gone for something totally totally different. A hyundai coupe, 2003 in red with good miles in near mint condition. Tbh my heart has been out of the car for a bit now and i just feel its time to move on to different pastures. Although il still visit the forum and reckon il pop along to a couple of the meets just to see old faces. Cars still with me tho, so its off into the bodyshop this week to have the bumpers, side skirts and door strips painted. Il be ordering the rest of the bits to finish the black roof parts off etc etc and obs it will have days worth of valeting.
After all this im hoping to get somewhere in the region of £2500 for the car which i think is fair??? so if anyones intrested give me a message ;)

Il update this thread with pictures of the car ready to be sold in the coming days and it will more than likely look the best its ever looked

cheers
