Todays work!!!

Big thanks to Steven-Stoneyfordni (and GQ) for the help today!!!

We fitted the new Forge FMIC (classy red logo and all!!)
Went down a 1mile long lane littered with huge holes to collect the new bumper!!

Sounds easy??? Eh no!!

Blew a boost pipe whilst driving bumperless to the sprayer!! Large amounts of smoke produced

Had a boost leak-which Steven sourced at the bottom pipe leading into the Intercooler

"Persuaded" the bumper to fit

also persuaded the drivers side fog to fit past the new pipes!!

Here a few pics-even put in a pic of next saturdays task....fitting Silverline X coilovers, Cupra ARB, new bushes and new top mounts!!!

u always need a boost leak to reinforce the point we're all human , turned out really well , new front bumper does look the part n keeps it steathy, and lets andy turn those FKs right down ,

forge strut brace is a shiny piece of kit too ,


and finally , i didnt even touch the pipe that blew off , its the DVs fault...honest


was a pleasure fella

 

[andy_gdon]

this is true-the DV pipe was the one that blew off.....was a truely ring loosing moment!!

All sorted though and what a good job it is!!

 

[redcupratdi]

how easy was it to spray logo on front and how you do it was thinking of sspraying either TDI or CUPRA on mine!!

by the way IC looking good!

That was a freebie courtesy of Forge PR team

 

[redcupratdi]

guessing just a stencil and spray paint??

 

[andy_gdon]

I presume so!! If I had a choice id have it plain though!!

 

[stoneyfordNI]

was a promotional one apparently , andy wasnt meant to get it , but i dont think the thought of sending it back crossed his mind , hardly noticable , n a few months of crud n crap u wont see it ,

 

[cordobabrendy]

that the replacement bumper then andy?

 

[andy_gdon]

it is indeed!!

 

[andy_gdon]

Want to buy a LCR splitter for a tenner?

 

[cordobabrendy]

was it the bottom bits getting cc'd then? i didnt get to go to golf to day as no baby sitters and zoe was working, i suppose i could have come round for a while but hollie would just have been scared at stevens mush!

 

[cordobabrendy]

a tenner you say???? hmmmm ill think about it!

 

[stoneyfordNI]

thanks fella

 

[cordobabrendy]

haha dont mention it, ahh boost leaks, its what makes men out of us!

 

[stoneyfordNI]

n i can say this because he's in england without his laptop and i have a pic of him with hair straighteners
