Tolly to TT

[Toledo Widow]

You two aren't getting as bad as me and Stroppy and having domestics on the forum are you

Nope - only cos his phones run out of power so he's had me put it on to charge

 

[Sam20v]

The car registered to me at the DVLA isn't a Tolly but I do have a Tolly I just wish he wouldn't take it to work everyday and refer to it as his

hahahahaha
[whisper] let him do it up andd then when the baby is born insist you require the tolly for the superior luggage carrying capacity!!!! then you have a baby chariot that will look the muts!!!

I like your thinking there. Shame the tolly has loads more miles than my car tho

Of course it does have air con and cruise control which I shan't be able to drive without once the baby is born

Hey everyone I thought it was time to round this thread off with the finished article.
I Had the HUGE pipes attached to the car last week and finally got around to cleaning it!

 

[warren_cox]

Really tidy job, the untrained eye wouldn't know it wasn't an OE job. Now has the back end presence of something befitting of a 'V' engined motor!

 

[EmDee]

I think this looks awesome, very well done. Now I dont mean to pee on your campfire by posting this, BUT:

Are the pipes connected to anything?

and

If I was sitting at the traffic lights behind you at night with my HIDs on your bumper would it look OEM?

If it's a yes then I am well impressed. If not then I'm still impressed but I wanted you to think about it

 

[probee]

awesome mate... sorry ive only just found this. well done

 

[EmDee]

That actually answers my question!

i had some recollection of them not being hooked up - dont know what gave me that idea.

well done it looks awesome - would be interested to see the exhausts from below but no pressure

Excellent work Stu makes the back of the car look like it should have done from the factory. Maybe see if you can pick up a facelift NON R bumper for the front to get that looking as good as the back?

 

[UncleFester]

and then some skirts?

Or colourcode the sills if they're black - doesn't nescessarily need side skirts

 

[Dan_W]

Really trick that, has it ever been done before?

 

[1.9...stefan]

really looks well,,, dont suppose youve got a rough price on how much just the bumper work cost,,,, something i would like to look into on mine... not copying or owt tho

cheers

Cheeky but DO IT lol!

 

[EmDee]

Definitely a non-R front bumper, then some skirts, coilies, 18's, debadge, colour code the rub strips and stick a fork in her!

Only a few grand more to go then...



EDIT - and put the scn sticker in the middle

 

[RichieRich]

looks lovely, and i know there was alot of hard work into doing the mod and it looked ugly for a fair bit of time to

Cheers chaps. I am glad it is finally finished, I did wonder if the car was gonna die first! lol

Some might say that I copied someone else
I can't take any credit for the idea, we must bow down to Mr TIWELL for that one!
I just did it in my own way

I couldn't agree more. I think the cupra bumper is much better than the cupra R one. Have a look at Sam20v's sig for the proper effect.
Trouble is getting hold of one, even from a scrappy they are over £100. It doesn't feel right to pay that when the rear was so cheap!

I'm not going to code the rub strips though, it helps to break up the back of the car, which IMHO, helps define the feature line half way up the bumper.

oh yeah... sticker... that wasn't me!

 

[Sam20v]

StuC that looks awesome....proper tidy job there....would have loved to have done that on mine!
thanks for the Bday message on FB i had to come back to check out your finished thread....seems like ages since i was on here.....

whats the next plan, the front bumper? and have you guys had the bambino yet....

NICE, good job for thinking outside the box!!!
