White FR to Black Cupra - Cupra Now Sold :(

[Scott-o]

may aswell of got yours refurbed!

Saved loads of money buying these though as they have got pretty much new toyos on too

looks quality mate, reminds me of damoegans car with the wheels like that. get an LCR splitter fired on coz it looks naked lol. i polished and waxed mines today too

Don't think the splitters go well on the cupra bumpers because of the two bits that come down on the sides. Won't be putting one on I don't reckon. Yeh I thought that once if put them on, good job he's selling up soon haha

looks nice mate! No bbs rims then?

Nothing will go over the brakes tt comps and s3 wheels will bit cba with either of them. I'll find some nice after Market wheels one day!

I was expecting something a little more "bling" given your past wheel history

Still looks good though, whats happening with your er.. standard ones? Winter wheels?

Don't really have the money for some right fancy ones at the mo, want to get everything else sorted, plus I can't e bothered researching to find a set that will fit haha sold mine to rocky, a few posts up. Hopefully picking them up Tuesday

might have had him worried him for a second or two.

im liking the colour of the new wheels should stop the dirt showing up quite so bad.

 

[Scott-o]

Haha I hope so!

Yeh I really like them gonna wax them up tonight and apply some tyre dressing once I've washed it. That's if I ever get home from work. Was gonna try and lacquer the callipers but late one at work

are your callipers looking pink if so this thread might come in handy http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=122617&highlight=refurbing+brembos+dummies
i plan to do somthing similar to my callipers soon as mine are a little faded i did use wheel sealant on them ages ago after a polish that helped for a thew months

 

[Scott-o]

Yeh pretty much mate yeh seen that, just seems like a quick clean and few coats of lacquer and they look good as new! Need new disks soon so gonna try do it before then. Gonna go for some fancy pads too I reckon!

 

[cupra.al]

ds2500s are ment to be really good pads and let off less brake dust im going to need to purchase some before long.

 

[Scott-o]

Think that's what I fancy to be honest! Expensive but supposed to be mint arnt they? Dunno what wear rate it like but I don't use my brakes often tbh, only on weekends haha

 

[cupra.al]

from what i can guess if they create less dust id say they wear slower than the standard pads as there more than liking a stronger or harder compound i might be wrong that is just a guess.

 

[Damoegan]

DS2500's are awsome pads in the AP calipers.

If your planning on taking it on a track make sure you have some good discs that can cope with the heat they will produce (I nearly set my discs on fire @ Aulton Park at warped my discs).
If your not going on track then the DS2500's are awsome fast road pads

 

[R1ch85]

I agree with your sentiments about the LCR splitter, I haven't got one on mine either I don't think they line up with anything personally.

DS2500's are really good pads, as said, excellent performance on road, and less brake dust too. I'm yet to try them on track but I'm sure they'd cope fine.

 

[Scott-o]

Yeh I'm guessing they will be harder pads then Al. Cheers for the input Damo,think I'll be going with them when the time comes. Did you just get them off Bill at Badger 5? How much if you don't mind me asking?

Will just be on the road tbh and will most likely get the same disks as I had on the fr, think they might be what you have on?

You still selling up?

 

[Scott-o]

Glad you agree Rich, really don't look right, they look awesome on the fr bumpers but not the cupras!

You still need to do a readers rides too mate, really seems like you have done loads to yours!

 

[Damoegan]

Yea, got them from Bill for circa £120..

Yep, its up for sale

But I'll still be staying VAG (mk2 LC or Golf ED30) Either way I'll still be here as normal
