good plans mate and a lovely example of a cupra nice C too lol

Looking nice mate, big step from the corsa so take it easy as we dont want another LCR in the breakers yard, take it easy and get used to the car before more power.

Not now you've just bought the carbon fibre wing mirror covers I bet! (you know, the ones that you're poaching the images from my website for above )

how much were the carbon fibre wing mirrors mate?

 

[AntneeUK]

They're £55 + £6 delivery from an eBay seller. Expecting mine to be delivered today and I'll be posting better pictures of the quality

Nice LCR

Nice LCR mate! I'm interested to see the quality of the CF wing mirrors! I was thinking of upgrading to the teardrop mirrors too but perhaps CF would look nice on my Red LCR!?

Also - How does the rear wiper do? The prev owner of mine put brand new wiper blades on when we bought it and they (obviously) wipe really well, but are just ugly lol! I had the Polo Wiper conversion on my Mk3 Ibiza and it was crap... but looked good?

 

[RS6]

how are you planning to fit the wing mirrors i was thinking double sided tape but to be honest thats not going to be strong enough, i think some no more nails is going to be needed!

 

[RS6]

rear wiper is perfect reaches across and with the flat blade its clean right away no mess

 

[RS6]

new splitter arrived today how easy are they to change?

 

[AntneeUK]

Easy enough. A couple of screws on each end and the two posts unclip at the top

 

[RS6]

great news! i think over time i will probably be getting through quite a few of these! the car just scrapes going in the garage there is a slight incline i could cry the noise it makes, it anoys me though as the corsa i had was lowered 30-35mm and it had a splitter on that never catched lol

 

[AntneeUK]

I've had mine replaced twice since I bought it in March. It scraped as I left a local Tesco Express forecourt the other day. Mine isn't lowered either, and probably never will be, as it catches too often as it is

 

[RS6]

yeah i had big plans for coilovers but thats all gone out the window now i think

 

[drivebyzoop]

i want one of these

 

[RS6]

small update no pics as yet managed to fit my new matts, 225 rear badges, wind deflectors tonight, picked up my new seat sport gear knob and replacment splitter still have side badges to do!

 

[RS6]
