Super Copa. Here it is. (Picture heavy)

[chuckb]

Well here it is at last my new Super C. I did 99% of the first lot of mods yesterday. All that was left to do today was fitting the foot rest plate and colouring behind the FR logo on it. Then wash polish and wax with Megs finest products.

Clean car mate looking well and the best colour!!

 

[chuckb]

Thanks mate, had to be white. just looks so nice!

 

[jc_boc]

Looks awesome mate!!! Congrats and well done on the mods too.

 

[TarekElsakka]

Looks fantastic, mate. Congratulations!

I wouldn't pain/wrap the LEON letters black because I don't think they'd look good; to be honest, they wouldn't even be that apparent. For me it's either leave them as they are or remove them and shave the back. Both are nice.

If I were you I'd look into hella rear lights (you'll find another thread regarding that here) which don't have that color to them and they look beautiful, especially on white cars like yours.

And as for wrapping the lower diffuser black, I think matte would be the best as it wouldn't be too shiny and take away from the front.

Best of luck, mate, and keep us posted!

Thanks Jase, used your guide to get that sodding grommet/plug thing out on the foot rest.

Bloody thing would NOT unscrew when I started. Had to jam a cross head screw driver in the end to get it to turn. Crappy soft plastic!

 

[robthebubble]

Looks lovely mate...just don't forget to blank out your plates on your photos!

 

[shnazzle]

That's a beautiful machine mate.
Mucho jealous-o

True Rob better do that. Dang it! Thanks chaps, the modding trail will continue no doubt. There is some real inspiration on here. I was a little sad to see the Bocanegra go, but need to upgrade badly to a bigger quicker car again. Looked at new ST and this car. The ST was awesome to drive but to spec it to the same as this really bumped up the costs. The Super C was a no brainer!

 

[Seat racer]

Sweet! Which wheels are those m8

[Jarre]

Very smart that mate!

 

[Deleted member 74601]

Like those alloys. Haven't seen those on a Leon yet.

 

[chuckb]

Thanks chaps, I am so pleased with it.The wheels really work, how ever they are a right devil to clean though!

 

[Benjic2]

Nice car + lovely wheels! Certainly different.

That handbrake cover is bad though! Also is he exhaust sitting right? I thought the pipes sit flush with the bumper and not tucked inside it?

where did you get the FR sill protectors from? on they on the back sills as well?

I know what you mean mate, when I first did it I thought I would have drill the damn screw out hahahahaha. Just glad the guide was able to help you out.

They are the Seat Sport ones from the Catalogue. I then added the FR decal myself. To stop that getting scuffed I cut out some Helicopter tape to the same dimensions and covered it exactlyI havent put them on the rear yet was not sure, I thought it may be too much. When I had my Focus ST they were only on the front so followed that.

I did wonder about the exhaust as the one in the show room protrudes more than mine, got underneath yesterday and it all seems fine no misalignment or anything. All the fixing points are fine and no clamps or rubbers are over stretched or crooked.

Have to say love my wheels and as for the hand brake cover, sadly I needed a chunky one I have paws not hands pretty much. Had the same problem with the Ibiza and had to get a chunky one. My gert big mitts cover the bloody thngs!

 

[adamb87]

Love the look of it mate beautiful motor mate. I am tempted but still loving my cupra maybe once im bored of it ........

 

[Nath.]

Nice car

Looks very much like mine.

I'm interested in how you get on wrapping the mirror covers. I have bought some spare primered caps as well as some vinyl but I just can't wrap them anything like well enough.

I'm looking for someone to do them for me or just get them painted.

 

[chuckb]

Nice car to Nath.

To be honest Nath I am getting one of the Motor Vehicle repair lecturers to do the wrap for me at work. Hes more than a bit good. My attempt will probably make it look like it was done by a 3 toed gibbon. As john keeps telling me, its all about the amount of heat that you use to keep it pliable
