[jay87]

Hi Just Like Some Views Of How My Car Looks At The Moment Please



I know The Pictures Not Brill, Il Try And Take Some More

Its A 1.6s Black Magic Lowered 60mm, Sitting On Oz Superturismos

 

[Andi]

Good start

 

[swissrebel]

The superturismos were the ones I had my eye on. They look good.

Think they'd look better on mine

All that and you've still got the standard aerial?

 

[jay87]

Thanks alot, also what else would every1 reccomend to do?

Fabia/Touran Wipers Coming Soon
I Would like a Cupra Front Bumper Maybe Back 2

lol get them on! and well take some pics side by side!

oOo what arial should i be going for?

 

[skahigh]

i dont know as the lcr exhaust would be of great benefit...not sure if the manifold would fit either?

 

[skahigh]

honda s2000 ariel is popular

 

[swissrebel]

Well the general consensus here is - the Honda S2000 aerial is an excellent replacement.

Just ebay for the "s2000 aerial". They're about a tenner.

I bought a beesting aerial that fit, and the reception became awful - but I didn't buy an official s2000 one.

And I can't quite convince myself that the turismos are worth the cash yet... no matter how nice they look

 

[jay87]

is the arial a straight swap?

i did ask some one about the exaust and i was told that i would need a reducer? and it would work them, im not really after the performance i know its only a 1.6 lol as im young, just mainly the styling of having it there

 

[jay87]

you know what, how much are these superturismos worth? as i got them with the car so i dont really know much about them

 

[swissrebel]

As for your future mods - stick solely with visual stuff as opposed to tuning - yours is the 1.6S like mine, so probably best just to stick with the... 115(?) bhp we have as standard - unless you're willing to remap it.

 

[skahigh]

if its just the styling you're after then i'd just find a cat back system that you like and fits! lets face it, no ever sees anything other than the tailpiece!

 

[swissrebel]

There's a guide to replacing the aerial on the main SC site - it's literally a straight swap, you just need to remove the old aerial carefully - as it has a theft-prevention gimmick built in.

Brand new Turismos are expensive. What size are those?

I have a full cat back standard curpra R exhaust system for sale if your interested ?

 

[jay87]

im not sure what the acutal bhp is, but i know its faster than my golf mk4 1.6 i had, possibly because its newer and 16v, i might put an induction kit on but thats about all, just visual was what i was thinking mate

 

[jay87]

my superturismos are 18" mate

how much you after for the exaust, il be honest ive been offered one preety cheap from a mate

Ahh, it's 105 standard.

 

[Andi]

Well postage would be a stinger as i live up north, but i was wanting around £100 for it.

 

[skahigh]

in my opinion you're better off keeping your spending low on a car like this and just save up for something with a turbo (like an ibiza cupra maybe) and the insurance!

 

[jay87]

well ive just got the car really, and i normally keep my car a year, so i thought id spend abit on it as im going to be living with it for the next 11 months, soon as im 21 and ive hopefully got my 2 years no claim, im off to get a leon cupra =)

ive been offered the exaust for around 50ish mate sorry about that, oo scotland yup postage would be a killer lol

only 105 bhp lol 5 bhp makes a big diff over my golf wow wee
