very soon to be fr owner

hi all i take delivery of a new speed blue fr on monday cant wait, has 18's and bluetooth fitted already started doing bits and ive not even got it yet lol, i know the parts guy at oldham and he has been doing bits for me before i pick it up, had a spoiler fitted, the wing mirrors black with the door pillors aswell and the bit on the front black as i think it makes the front not as squashed look abit more open looking and the grill surround in black aswell, already been ripped off on ebay, bought some sideskirts and they turned out to be very cheap fiberglass copies.

plan to have a few more bits done re-map, lowered, filter new sideskirts and cup spoiler

is the green panel filter the same size for the cr as the older version???

some pics of the car so far

Looking good mate, you planning on getting the wheels done black to finish off the colour scheme? I really like the black wheels on speed blue cars. Wish it was avaiable when I bough mine!

Front's looking good like that. You could even do the bottom colour strip of the grill to give it an even bigger look? Like the Mk2 pre facelift cupra?

cheers, was thinking of getting the bottom done gonna see about the cup spoiler first see how it looks, was also thinking of getting the wheels done but not had chance to have a look at prices, was gonna get the black 18's but they had no speed blues with them on and would have had 2 wait lol

yeah, well the cheapest I've seen is £50 a wheel for powder coating so it's nothing too excessive.

thats not bad might see about that in a few months,

off to pick it up now

 

[lee_car]

well, not a good start at all, get all the way there to find that the car isnt ready, the guy has gone on holiday and not told anyone its been sat there for the last 3 weeks and they couldnt be bothered to get it done, still needs to be pdi'd, valeted, taxed
not happy at all had the day off work and a nice trip out in it planned

That sucks.
Have they given you a new date ?
I would phone them up a few days before collecting and then phone them up every day until collection to keep them on their toes.

Plus I would say at least a tank of fuel for the inconvience.

Hows the car Lee?

I saw it in the forecourt last week, did a double take on it. Looks good.

Might see you about in it. I had some issues when I got my car from there, kept getting told different thing as to where the car was and got loads of different dates from them.

Hi.

How is the car? I had planned to buy a Cupra r but my yearly miles have changed a lot.

Now I am going to buy at car the same color as yours. The speed blue color is fantastic. Could you pleeeeeeese put up some more pictures of the car, when it is dry.

Best regards Martin

 

[lee_car]

yeah im lovin it, cant wait for weekend to have a proper drive out in it,

cant deceid what to do next, want to lower it but i dont want to lose ride quality are the sportlines a good ride? i had a mg and lowered it an it was awful so its puttin me off abit

will post some pics soon

 

[lew893]

If it's anything like my MG the ride is pretty stiff to start with so lowering would make it stiffer, so the Leon should be fine me thinks!
