Mats Mk3 Arctic Ibiza Cupra

[Cupra20]

yeah it took me and a mate bout 2 hours i'd say with a bit of chatting like you do in there somewhere.

Bleedings not to bad to do, aslong as your mums ok thats the main thing,

I'm sure mat will get some pics up, just make sure he don't get you while your working!!!

So then, here's some pictures:

This is how they were delivered last firday :

All nice and red.

Gave them my mate to spray as been very busy, and need them fitting tomorrow.

These are the pictures he text me during spraying:

He couldn't do what I wanted (black spray, then stickers, then spray silver, then remove stickers), as he said the paint was thick, and when the stickers were removed, would lift some paint. So just stuck the stickers on top

So the finished result

*drum roll*

Think they look the dogs danglies TBH!

matt brakes look bob on mate wil look even better when there on tomoz morning

just make shaw ya bring plenty of cleaning stuff

 

[Mat]

I'll throw EVERYTHING in the car fella. Saying that, the box containt brakes is taking up some space

You got a Karcher pressure washer? Also might need a TINY paint brush (or smallest you have)

 

[adam kelly]

not got a pressure washer as it broke a few weeks ago.

take your seats out again lol

should have a paint brush around mate il see what i can do for ya.

 

[Mat]

they are out! lol

brakes taking up most of boot space. don't worry tho, i'll bring it all somehow.

Oh, and rear brake has started squeeking, so needs some copper grease (gives me more time to clean whilst you take care of that). May even machine your bonnet as a "demo" for ya

 

[cupramillo]

Looks very nice mate! Silver does suit them and will look even better once its on the car. I'd have kept them red though, probably saying that as my cupra is red. Make sure you post pics when you get them on.

 

[Mat]

If I had a red cupra, then no doubt I would have stayed red! But I wanted 2 things. I wanted it to be subtle. And also wanted it to tie in with the car nicely! Now the whole car is silver, black and anthracite. Just got the red on the rear clusters, but I can't do owt about that!

 

[turbo009]

better then i thought,they do actually look good. Just need to see pictures now once on your car

 

[adam kelly]

finaly finished fittin the brakes taken 1.30ish to fit them then hit a few problems which made it go on most of the day so now im sun burnt to hell and in pain

il let matt explain what happend

 

[Mat]

ha ha..... cheers fella. just sorting pics now

Oh, and thanks to Bill who was on the other end of the phone for 2 quick question

 

[Mat]

So then, the pictures...

This is how the car looked at the start of the day...

Part way throught the first side

Size differences

Everything on

At this point we hit a problem. The wheels wouldn't fit! Luckily, a local parts shop had some 3mm spacers in stock

Once the spacers were on, 2 more problems! had to remove the heat shield thing and also trip the carrier bolts to the hub as it was catching the disc.

 

[Mat]

anyway... all sorted and finished product is this:

The car was given a clean after. Will post pictures of that later!

Oh, here's a quick pic with clean wheels

 

[turbo009]

certainly different,and look good. Ok Ive changed my mind,pictures do help tho and now seeing them i guess i like

 

[Mat]

I'm thinking everyone will say the same. they look better than you can imagine i guess

 

[turbo009]

put it this way can't wait too see your car again next and see them in the flesh

 

[Mat]
