bumpstrips painted!! What do you think?

[danieltm]

Hi guys, Just got back from my holiday and had my black bits painted whilst i was away... I think it looks a treat, What do you all think? Next on my list is some new wheels

 

[BCM]

brilliant mate! Some new wheels on the cards?
would look nice with some RS6's!

 

[danieltm]

Im thinking the new RS4's not sure yet? I will be having a good look around. Thanks for reply!!

 

[ElasticTangent]

Oh yeah, that looks really nice. Good job

 

[RobM]

Looks great! Very clean and fresh looking. Lovely colour too

 

[danieltm]

Thanks guys, Glad you like it. I have been waiting about 2 months to get it done. Worth the wait i think!!

 

[swissrebel]

How much was the spray job? Looks sweet. Good match too...

 

[Skorchio]

From the pics i can see ur car is not lowerd. Are you wanting the same size rims? as i think going bigger without lowering could be a mistake? I still think Lowering it on the same size rims is a must when sprint alone are only £100 (if ur on a budget). If you want me to photo shop some images for you mate just send me over some pics of wheels u like.

 

[danieltm]

The spray job cost me £200 it was done by my cousin. Skorchio i wanted 18" really and yes i would get it lowered a bit too. I think 16" are a bit too small for the leons. I have had a little play with photo shop already but thanks for the offer.

Brilliant... I'm hoping to get mine done in the next few weeks, and yours looks great! I'm driving around without the front ones at the moment as I took them off to see what was behind, it does look a bit strange now! Is your car Azalea red? Its a nice colour in those pics anyway

Yeah I do actually! Won't be able to stay all evening, I'll be on my way to see the other love of my life over the other side of London, and she'll be most upset if I don't show!! But I'd love to meet some of you guys and see your cars... I'll check in the meets thread to see where and when! Cheers for the invite though

Painted strips: AWESOME.

All Mk1 Non-FL owners should do it

Just looks so much more fluid and less "non-colour coded bumpers". Very nice.

 

[CupraUK]

Yeah, that looks really good. Time to get on the blower to my brother who works in a body shop me thinks!

 

[danieltm]

Leon SJ Yes it is Azalea red. Im glad everyone likes the spray job! I know alot of people on here had been asking about painted bumpstrips so thought it would be nice to show it off so you can all get an idea of how it looks. Thanks for all the replys guys..

 

[LiCkWiD]

Shame it didn't come standard, really. Makes the car nearer to the face-lift appearance, in my opinion.

The non-FL always been a wolf in sheeps clothing to me, but with painted strips... no more

 

[dan__smith]

Looks good!

 

[stuart86]

looking good

did you replace the strips or prep and spray the originals?

 

[danieltm]

just spray, had nothing replaced wanted to keep the price down.
