My mk4 ibiza cupra

[simonthekane]

How do you mean black inserted headlights mate ??

I kinda like how the rear lights look in the third pic so im guessing that subtle tint would give it that effect

 

[Ad Lav]

They are grey inside now... black ones inside...

Hiya mate,
where did you get the wheels done and how much were they? trusted a local bodyshop to do my spare to see if they were any good and safe to say they weren't! Black wheels look soooo good too!

 

[eurodoba]

Was £299 mate for same day service, all the kerbing was removed and they remove the tyres and refit and balance them after.
The Wheel Specialist was the company in Fareham so close to southampton http://www.thewheelspecialist.co.uk/File/fareham-details.php
Really nice people very helpfull lots of examples to look at when there, and good results on my wheels and being powercoated should be durable

looks good fella

Thanks mate

Thanks for that

Couple more small updates,
Smoked side repeaters, was actaully very easy to fit and no problems with the bulb holders on mine so a 5min job

Rear lights with a tint, using a tint film normally on headlights

Sorry i couldn't make it tonight, will be comming along next month with my mate with his vrs and maybe another with a golf hopefully.

Thanks its not quite a dark as that from directly behind, its quite subtle looks standard to the untrained eye i think the difference is below
Not sure on the black seat badge, think the cupra one in black would look pretty sweet tho didn't think of doing that before...

Bit of a rough mod..... induction kit off my old lupo gti modded to fit the cupra

Got to say tho i love the noise, its got one hell of a winding up sound now not really any growl to it and the dump valve is so much louder... the acceleration does seem smoother but as its quite a cheap filter so that's probably just me thinking it lol, see how i feel in a weeks time on this mod

Short Shifter also on the way thanks to Damoegan

 

[Damoegan]

Is that a BMC filter, Si? They are meant to be very restrictive at 200+bhp. Best off sticking with a open cone filter mate.

Short shifter should be with you tuesday/wednesday mate

 

[simonthekane]

Its worse its a cheap copy universal one from ebay, the filter inside whats left of the box is just a normal cone filter, very much like the shape of this one http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/OMP-Dynamic-A...66:2|39:6|72:1689|240:1318|301:0|293:3|294:25

Are any of the universal filters any good ? what sort of design of filter would work best ?

Excellent thanks for doing it so quick
