Yup, nope, fat chance, not till I have a bump strip on the front -.- You've missed this thread? Weirdo!
Cool, Awww you got me excited, and that still isnt done yet? What are you doing to it? Leave that poor bumpstrip alone Yeah, Well I did like this thread, until you called me a weirdo.. Now I dont like you anymore.. or your thread :O

Lol, i didnt mean it. Your lovely really, and not in any way weird. Na, handles are a doddle! Just be patient with them (i wasnt) filler primer covers the gaps in the old paint, so rough it all up, 2-3 coats fp, sand it flat, 2-3 coats of ur desired colour, then laquer, if its gloss. I've never laquered a matte paint cos i dont know what itd look like.
I need to do it soon, i have made shapes with a 2p coin in my handles.. I mights paint the chrome door handles aswell.. What do you reckon? Worth the hassle?
I know from attempting to get the handles out, they're a PITA to do, I wouldn't bother tbh. Unless the paints stripping on them too, in which case, it's likely worth it, for aesthetic appeal.
Bad Boy! I did the same with my key. You know what they say about simple pleasures and simple minds Got another update to put up, and another on the way. It's all go now!

Damn it.. Wont bother then.. I hate chrome though.. The handles themselves are in perfect nick.. Its just those dreaded thingies that look sh1te.. I need to get them off first, then it will be a Piece of cake
And I know, True Badass, Whilst I do it, I just think, Im only making them worse... but sack it its SO fun!! Oh well.. I need mine lowered.. You thought about it at all?

Aye, it has crossed my mind a few times... Would like to do a bit more research on spring rates etc though, see if the ride will be harsher or softer with coilies. The other alternative is transferring the springs across from the cupra fronts
As for the handles, if you don't like them, I don't know how to get them out of the plastic assemblies they're in, but you can seperate them from the door card, mask off as much as you can and spray them that way. I like the chrome, brakes up the black a bit

Lol thats easy. Just pull the gold pin out that runs through and the handle falls out.
Those door cards look familiar. Get the speaker cover sorted?
Yeah, got the cover sorted.
RIGHT Update... again...
Didn't like the old carpet, so stripped the boot, put a plank of wood in, and covered it...
Guess what I did! With a subtle difference
Look at what I can see!
Oh, and Nick?

Right, new Cat fitted. MOT Saturday, then back otr and loving it Next. Lamin-X or DIY cupra headlights? I think the finished effect on the cupra headlights will be nicer than lamin-x, but the simplicity of the vinyl is veeery tempting.... Idea's? Opinions? Thgis B-spec mode on gt5 ain't half boring, you know.
