Yellow & Graphite LCR's

[JamJay]

Hello all. I have not posted any pictures of my car since signing up so I thought I would share with you, what I drive.

Mine is the Ovni Yellow LCR you see here. It is a 2003 Facelift model with VAG's 210bhp AMK engine. It is my new pride & joy which still happens to have on 20,000 miles on the clock. I say new but I have had it since February.

After developing car cleaning OCD with my last car, I have treated this one no different & I'm proud to say that it is still in show room condition. So far there have been no modifications although I have taken time to re-lacquer my Brembo calipers (thanks to a handy guide on here) but I plan to add a few bits here and there but nothing that will alter the car's performance or looks by too much.

Anyway, the other car pictured is my friend Tim's (Timmbo71, a much more active user on here than myself) 2005 LCR 225 with a few extra bits and bobs added. I believe these are: Upgraded front brake discs & pads, air filter, polished original LCR wheels, debadged boot & tinted glass but correct me if I am wrong or there are more Tim.

Enjoy the pictures & comments welcome. (Pictures by Tim)

Thanks. As far as plans go for mine, there will be either a Forge or BMC air intake, an iPod compatible head unit to replace that sexy tape player of mine (although I do have a 6 disc changer in the glove box) & a refurb of the wheels.

I am considering a REVO remap still at this stage, although I need to do some research on how it will affect the car (0-60, mpg, bhp, torque) at some stage, lowering the ride height and upgrading the dump valve maybe, although Tim's OEM dump valve seems to be quite noticable after fitting a Piper X air filter.

As for Tim's, I think it's staying as it is for a bit but I am hoping he'll eventually discover this thread and tell you all .

are you worried about affecting the economy much? talking to people who have standard cupras, i'm getting roughly the same mileage, so doesn't seem to affect the mpg too much just so you know

Nice Looking beasts!

Get them lowered and get a detail done on them and watch how they turn MORE heads!!

someone copied my wheels Looks great

That helps as I was wondering how much more thirsty the car would get. If not by much at all, just more of an incentive to do it. Thanks

Looks like a cleaner version of mine. Mine was from down south apparently.
