Well i've been on here just over a week, so thought it was about time i posted up a few pic's of the new motor! FR 170 in speed blue, know i'ts got the bodykit on with thwin exit exhaust but which kit i'm not sure, Aero or K1? :confused: :lol:

Love it to bits already, and the looks it gets is brilliant! :D

painting the claipers and replacing the mirror covers are the first two mods on the agenda...although not sure what colour on the calipers?

Comments and suggestions welcome :D

Nick.

Nice looking motor you have there Nick

The K1 and aero Kit are the same thing. K1 was just a special addition with the aero kit on has standard.

What about gold or yellow for the calipers ?

Lovely looking car you have there, looks as though is has the Cupra front grille on as well. The stanrd FR one is crome IIRC.

caliper paint is going to be a tough choice. Do you want it to tie in with the rest of the car or stand out on its own !?

Yeh does also have the cupra front grille...or so the salesman told me! :lol:

see i'm not sure on the calipers....could go blue but then it might be overkill with blue...yellow or gold as above could look ok though :think: hmmm decisions decisions....

Beautiful colour, also matches your garage door! lol

Yellow calipers would really stand out but i think red would look good too.

Aero kit and K1 are not the same , the rear bumper is different on the K1 to take into account the centre exit ehaust ;)

I believe with the aero kit you can choose 1 of 3 exaust positions
Standard left, Centre like K1 and twin. Its just the defuser bit at the bottom.

Love the colour. If you get the black mirrors she will also need black alloys!

Haha i know!! I've been toying with that idea but dont know what alloys to possibly get and what the fitment sizes are!

:lol: sooo many people have said that to me, my gf came round asked where the car was...as it was camoflaged by the doors! :rolleyes:

yeh think yellow or gold is going to be the best option...will stand out without looking to OTT...thanks for comments as well...love the car :D
