Hey Guest one of our sponsors Progressive Parts is running Black Friday and Cyber Monday offers - more details here
It isn't drying because its sooo cold! So i have put news papers next to my radiotor. Spray the in garage and bring to the hall way. Think my dog is getting high on the fumes!
Halfords colour match isn't as good as I hoped...we'll see when the product is finished.

Took spray paint back to halfords as they completely cocked up the colour. Install of Plat Grey it was more like black...Went to another halfords and got someone else to make up the paint. Looks more like it should although still darker than I imagined it would come out
Here is what it looks like with seven coats of spray...still to add another 3-4 coats after I sand it down again. Then its the lacquer stage to make it nice and glossy!
Looks darker than the standard one.
Close up, as you can see it still needs smoothing off.

You didn't get too much overspray!
Interesting thread Jonjay.
I like the head unit - blends in so well.

Finally finished! Half a can of Platinum Grey spray and a whole can of lacquer and here are the results.
And here are the products used to make it all nice and shiny ready to go in the car.
Next time you see it will be when it is in the car. Oh and if anyone has a Leon gear shift surround please let me know!

Yea i like it too.
Its a little too shiny to take a good picture of it, a little to dark too, and the metalic bits make it look like it is grainy instead of silky smooth....Next picture will be when it is in the car so hopefully will show it off better.

H&R Cup Kit Part No: HR-31-017-2
Before
After
Maz,
I've PM'd AMD about the kit and that. Just wondering from looking at your pics if it sits flat now, as that looks very nose down mate?
R
Its the angle of the picture that makes it look a lot worse than it is. In person there is hardly anything in it but it is slightly lower.
Only explanation i have for that is that being a diesel the engine is heavier. I did query this with AMD and various other people. They say some kits are designed to do that.

Don't forget i've probably got about 80kg of mdf, amps and speakers in the back of mine Rik - that might be why it sits just that little bit lower at the back?
If your not bothered about how hard the ride is!!OR go for coilovers like me and you can choose your own ride hieght

very true
it can be a bit of a hard ride, but that was something i was willing to put up with.
anyway im going a bit off topic here lol
what are the next plans for the car maz?
Well i just bought myself a Cupra R gear knob....just now...literally.
Plans for next year
1) Allards piping
2) EGR wingnut mod in January
3) Smooth airbox
4) New clutch that can take around 230-250bhp
5) Big turbo and remap
6) LED lights all round inside
7) Cupra R gear shift with Custom surround
8) Custom centre console as per thread
9) Custom air vents.
This i can financially just about do i think. Depends on how big of a pay rise i get as to whether i got for as I am due a big one.
New alloys
Big Brakes (will have to if i get new turbo)
Custom Retrim.
EDIT: get your pictures of up your motor mate...been waiting for them!
