Q? your lower spoiler, I've just rec mine and the fix kit suggests drilling ?but the spoilersits on the glass,so does it get held on by the resin or does the fitter have to drill(not me)through the glass.I would'nt have thought that possible!!! .would appreciate a reply 07759869573 or e-mail ta!

Drilled and bolted to the outer edges of the tailgate and bonded to the glass.

ATP high flow exhaust manifold alongside the standard one - prior to fitting to car.

Feel wanted me to fill them with water to compare the capacities but I forgot.

Todays project is it dave?

No it was a project that ended mid Christmas Eve (and 4 days before that ) It's the fiddliest job I have ever done on a car. The hairs on my left wrist and hand are just starting to grow back (I was wearing latex gloves too!) from having it stuffed up the back of the manifold.

I want to do some logs today if I get time.

Painted the rear mesh black today. (Note my cool drive that I did last July. (A bugger for jacking up cars on )

thats looking pretty damn sweeeeeet dave, the mesh really sets it off!!

See what you mean about the driveway bud, looks good but you might want a plank of wood under the jack.lol

Cheers Gav, yes a piece of blockboard under jacks and axlestands is compulsory. 17 tons whacked in with a vibrator (oooohhhh Mrs!!!) My youngest daughter uses it like a F1 gravel trap when she drives in!

I'm getting the urge to put a later cupra (or R) bumper on. My exhaust tips are a little wider apart than those so I'd have to do some modding. The thing I'm curious about is at what height my tips sit compared with a cupra rear.....

 

[DPJ]

A little bit of incentive to get my FMIC plans under way. (A big thanks to PhilW for sorting it out for me, and for the pics)

Hmmm cant beat a bit of bling. Looks awesome that.

 

[PhilW]

Hope you like it.

I've replied in the other thread you've started, Paul. Do PM me if there's anything else you need to know.

Some nice new Powerflex front bushes fitted along with a Neuspeed front ARB.

 

[DPJ]

Well after 30 months of owning the car, my steering wheel is finally straight!

Just had 4-wheel alignment done on the car with camber angle set.

 

[tedvagas]

like the look of that ARB dave

Thank you! I always thought the standard Leon bar was quite adequate (thicker than a std LCR bar) but I must say I can really feel the difference with the Neuspeed bar. I'm going to put my rear bar on the tightest setting now.
