Riko's black cupra

[Riko]

Thanks for the comments guys.

i think they look disgusting sorry. you asked for our opinions. I say no! its shouting CHAV

but thats me

I know exactly where you're coming from Reuvers, I do keep thinking of corsas and such like when I think of light-brows. imo it's that subtle difference that makes you look twice!

black on black...........awesome

I was walking towards her in the carpark this morning in the pouring rain and they made her look so aggressive! I was in love again, especially as the splitter is back on now!

Sorry it's a bit of a late reply, but thanks bud. Got the standard wheels on there at the mo so doesn't look so stealthy.
Can't believe how much lighter the superT's are over the standards, car feels much heavier round corners now almost like it's got flat tyres!
I'll try and get pics up a bit later...

 

[EnGbudd]

ah np buddy, mine also has standard steelies on atm.

 

[Riko]

Whoop! Finally a bit of progress... treated her to a set of HIDs! Will hopefully have them just after xmas. I'll get the pics up as soon as i do it.

What colour have you gone?

 

[Riko]

Gone for the usual 6k. Haven't gone through the diane-shop like most people as I wanted a UK seller just incase of problems. I have gone for the 55w and they will have a 2yr warranty.

Cheers matey! I was hoping to get the T's back on today, but the weathers a bit chilly and still need the grip on the current wheels.

 

[Riko]

Small update as I hadn't put the pics of the HIDs up yet...

And just another with the standard rims. When the T's are back on I'm going to get these refurbed and maybe go for a bit of a crazy colour like orange?? Motorsport look!

Looking tidy Rik! Get rid of the rear wiper, no need for it. Get that front splitter off, don't like um. And YES to some fluro colours on the stock rims. I reckon black with fluro green lips would be cool?

Hey there he is, stranger! Cheers bud, splitters gone already thanks to the bloody speed bumps! What colour do you recon for the main colour of the wheel then if it has a green lip?

 

[Damoegan]

Looking good mate. HID's look the same as mine but in a different box. What temp are they?

 

[Riko]

I paid about £60 posted from this seller: http://stores.ebay.co.uk/xenon-lights-uk-ltd

Very quick delivery just before christmas! Great quality and they're the 55w versions, cant recommend them enough, so much better than the candles I had on the front before.

Black wheels, fluro green lips. YES!!

Yeah, these speed bumps are killing me round here! Ripped off one of the brackets that covers the exhaust the other day, plus scuffed my front bumper. Aghh...

 

[Riko]

Ah think I'm liking the colour combo right there! Guna do it DIY should be fun. My bumpers got a nasty scuff on the corner, need some attention come summer. You & G coming to the meet in your car? Might be a little later than 7 as I finish work at 6.

Loving your car mate,looks very nice! Hids set it off too

 

[bigairhooligan]

Not sure when G's back from work yet so I might meet him down there. Maybe drop me a line before you head up and we'll cruise down together.

Let me know if you need a hand with the paint job. I've done my fair share of DIY painting on bike frames etc! Also, did you manage to figure out how to adjust your coilies?

Cheers! They look quite blue in the pics but think they were still warming up, they're 6K.
