Just took delivery of some new mats for interior of the car. Got them from a fellow member and i really like them. I know i only have a Cupra and not a Cupra R but i think they will really suit the car!

Comments welcome,

Will take some more pics once i put them in the car, could do with a little wash aswell

Mats are in and really liking the look of them! Here are a few pics

Took a few other while i was at it... not liking them though as my car looks orange!

just read through your thread and its looking good! i love the colour coded bumper stripes and the brembos

when are you getting the coilovers?

 

[cupramillo]

Thanks for the comments abhardwaj1990, yeh the CC'd bump strips have really changed the look fo the car for the better IMO and the Brembos are just amazing!

Got the car booked in on Monday at AMD Essex, decided to go for AP Coilovers as they are well priced, good quality and have only heard good reviews about them!

 

[abhardwaj1990]

nice one, how much is it setting you back if you don't mind me asking?

 

[turbo009]

those mats really nice,and your car

 

[cupramillo]

Paying 450 for the kit and fitting (including laser alignment), not bad at all i think.

 

[cupramillo]

Cheers Turbo009, think the mats are quite rare if they were only in the Cupra R and only 75 of those came to the UK, unless you can buy them from dealers? Or maybe they were in other model seats?

Need it lowered a wee bitty!

 

[cupramillo]

That what Monday is for matey Getting my AP coilovers fitted!

 

[turbo009]

it will then finish it off nice with coil overs

 

[cupramillo]

Yeh thats what im hoping for. Then can pump money into getting the rest of the bits for the KO3 Hybrid

 

[Ibiza125]

That what Monday is for matey Getting my AP coilovers fitted!

Oh yeh that would make sence!!

Update of sorts but not the one i was hoping for. Drove up tyo AMD Essex this morning as planned to get my AP coilovers fitted. Took an age to get there, typical London traffic jams and road works wth no work being done!

Got there about 11am anyway, was then told that the kit was not there! Not only that but i was not expected to be there until friday of this week so have to rearrange to go again next monday. They said sorry which is fine, but they could have atleast called me to let me know and save me the hassle of driving up there for nothing! Fingers crossed i might be getting a discount when i go again next monday!

Was just really excitied about getting them on and getting her low. Anyway... until next week!

 

[cupramillo]

Big update!! Spent the day at AMD Essex after last weeks dissapointment! Arrived nice and early and saw the kit in all its glory, very impressed with the quality of the kit

I then left my camera with Ben and went off to Lakeside to spend more money, not before i took a few pics of her on her standard ride height... on stilts!

Done

Its not the lowest car you'll ever see but im happy with it.... to be honest i bought the kit more for handling than to just "slam it". My driveway entrance is a bi*ch to get onto aswell.... hence my broken front bumper! May lower it a touch once its settled down

Comments welcome
