Head-Up's Black Leon Cupra - Sick of White Wheels - Now with pics.

[Hilla LCR]

Well, thank you very much indeed



Cheers mate, i really want to change the colour of them, would love to do a mad colour like yourself, but im guess im just a pansy i remember you saying you though a baby blue would look good on a black car *maybe wrong* but im thinking a bluey grey, like this...........

I reckon that would look good, nice colour and a bit different too

cheers mate, hoping to get it done when i have the funds, will probably be my next mod.

Anyone recommend a good powder coater in the cambridgeshire area, currently looking at £80 a wheel.

Check this lot out:

They did mine and aren't too bad at all. Came to about £200 all in, which included stripping the tyres off, full sandblast, prep, paint, seal, re-fit tyres and balancing.

Best bit is, its all sameday drive in/drive out!

Also, don't go by their internet prices, ring them up for the best deal

Hi mate

Hi, i have a question about your Seat Leon Project. I have black magic leon and looking for wheels, now i see your car and is nice. Can you tall me exactly what you changed in your car.

1. Wheels what size,
2. Lowering springs or with coilovers?
3. what about spencer?? front and rear.

Many Thanks Regards

 

[Nef]

The wheels are 18X7.5

The coilovers are AP and lowered all the way down

and the spacers used are 15mm front and 20mm rear,

hope this helps mate.

what do you think about the quality of wheels? I read the forums and you had 215/35/18 tires and later bought a new Falken 225/40/18. Maybe you have a photograph on the tires 215/35 and 225/40 because I do not know what tires to buy. thanks for the information Regards Rafal

thanks mate! ha ha yeah, fully sick of them, lol.

Anyone know somewhere to get them refurbed near cambridge please, willing to travel for somewhere good though, ta.

Well, Adrian from Alloy Ambulance turned up around 9.30am to crack on with the wheels, heres a few progress pics along the way whilst he was doing them. Nothing interesting really. Have to wait till later on in the week to see the finished artical.

Overall im really happy with the finish, and would easily recommend him. Also still have a small amount of paint left if they need any touching up.

What colour are they going? i assume the grey is just primer?

Thanks bud, gone for the same colour as the bodywork on the renualt above, hopefully fit them this saturday.

those'll look the nuts, i wasn't sure if that was what you went for in the end - just so you know I did read it!

my LCR had grey wheels and i got a lot of comments, it makes a change from black on black or anthracite

[filbro]

that looks great

 

[MarkWabe]

Nice!

 

[Nef]

Just some pictures of the new wheels, car was cleaned, but after driving a whole 2 miles it looks dirty again :slaphead: oh well,

was planning on changing the colour of the calipers to a dark purple but after fitting the wheels i stiull think i like the current colour.

Personally i like the colour far better than the white i used to have.

 

[gezmeister]

Looks sweet mate, much better than the white

How about spraying the mirrors to match?

 

[Mrski1]

That looks superb, love the new colour.
