Non Cupra's

[Adam R]

im cutting them out ..... they are still in place but i want them gone, as it will look cleaner.

also in not putting any mesh in there either as i think it will look better without.. may change my mind though...

how did you fix the mesh on ?

 

[markmeus]

i left them in just to give it a bit more support, and attached the mesh with fiberglass

hi, saw u guys were talking about O.Z SuperTs earlier, do you think this (http://www.rimstyle.com/pages/produ...uperturismo_gt;model=554;id=OZSUPRS1770410040) will go with my black 1.4 S, and is it a decent price, or should I go for 16s???

if you have the money go for it!!!

 

[markmeus]

Yup go for it, will look great!

Go for 17" if you want looks, or 16" if you want a little more comfort.

Can't wait till I get my SEAT Sport ones.

 

[ndbrgr]

Thanx, I think i'll go for 16s then, my area is full of pot holes, deep drains and speed bumps, comfort is a must.

Wheels thieved

hey guys can't believe my luck unfortunately it's all bad, got a speeding ticket from a mobile police camera on my way to picking up my news rims and tyres in Notts, guy fitted them for nothing, but stopped at a restaurant in a part of the city, I didn't know great came out n my beezer was on bricks , suppose it's my fault as I didn't know the area too well but still can't get worse than that....

 

[markmeus]

Man thats crap!

I'll be purchasing a set of locking wheel nuts whenever my wheels arrive!

 

[Adam R]

sorry but anyone withough locking wheel nuts is crazy... i only have stnd cupra alloys and they have locking wheel nuts.

sorry to hear about your loss though

 

[markmeus]

Speaking of locking wheel nuts....

I want to get rear spacers to go with my new wheels, but most spacers require longer bolts, so is it possible to get longer locking wheel nuts that fit with the spacers or do you have to get the spacers that bolt on to the hub and then the wheels bolt onto the spacers if you know what I mean?

I'm sure you can get longer locking wheel nuts... Have a look around there's BOUND to be some somewhere!

Or you could go with the spacers that bolt onto the hub, like I have, much easier to put the wheels back on again.

here are a few fresh pics of how my car looks:
ohhh ok .. here are the pics:
BTW i have done around 100 miles in 1 day so its a little dirty.... and it has rained:

 

[markmeus]

Cars looking really well Adam!

Can't wait to see it with the Cupra spoiler and colour coding, or Cupra bumper if you get one!

 

[Adam R]

well i think i will be sticking with my front bumper now. i actually like it, yes i like the cupra one more, but since i have my custome driving lights etc, i dunno if i want to get rid of it lol.

so in less than a weeks time it will have:
side skirts, painted and fitted
cupra spoiler painted and fitted
bumpers colour coded.

Then im getting it detailed the weekend before ED38 so it will look amazing for the show

 

[Adam R]

oh btw im lowering the front more

 

[markmeus]

Yeh the Cupra bumpers nice, but they seem quite hard to get.

Having said that I think my wee bumper mod looks pretty good lol.

It's all about doing the best with what you've got!

Lower lol, mines still standard height and I managed to scrape the splitter off a car park kerb today!

 

[Ibiza125]

You should get patent rights on your wee mod lol

Adam have you got surplus splitters or something? If so I will take a few off your hands as I seem to be attracted to dead animals in the middle of the road!

 

[Adam R]

well if you look at the 1st and 2nd pic, my splitter was eating up the floor. and thats just at my work... i cant get around multi story car parks any more and speed bumps are dangerous too...

but it looks soo good!!!!

buy em from the dealer at £20 a pop. i got a new one today because my splitter ate a squirrel this morning (i knew my car was hungry but not to that extent). need to replace the splitter due to the amount of blood etc on it

oh btw mark
i cant go anywhere near curbs now as i will damage the mid part of the bumper if i get near a curb!
