I am going to make my own progress on my car. Its a 1.6sx 2004 with only 14700 as from todays date. Please let me know what you guys and girls think as i would love your feedback, but please remember if you are going to be sarcastic then please don't bother commenting :p

I am only doing the mods for purely looks only. It will never be a cupra r nor act like one, but hopefully it will look like one eventually thanks.

First mod i went for was the rear bumper only have a pic of the old bumper off and it is up for sale if anybody is interested

as you can see from the the above pic i have also debagged the complete rear and think it looks alot better.

How much did you pick it up for?

£80 off ebay (hence name), then paid a crap bodyshop for fixing to my car and did they do a crap job or what :cry: i had to re do all the work myself plus the extras all in all £160 +

Ooops iv been caught :D out sorry mate they were brand new from the stealers around the £25ish mark, but well worth it. the ones from ebay are not bad but then you got2 consider P&P so i thought stealers worked out a bargain for me.Had to order them in only a day or so......:funk:

i then sourced some of ebay and here they are fitted (paperback) so i was not 100% satisfied, but anyway it made a big improvement.
