Cheers mate, its just a shame the drivers side headlight had steamed up[:@]. That was it as it was going on the rollers:D

HID's on for 15mins should sort that mate :)

Same thing happened after had mine detailed and was doing photoshoot with DK's car. Can just about make it out in the front right headlight in some pics.

Missed your updates here mate!

Great results bet your chuffed, I bloody would be!

Love the pic where ur with the 3 .:R's first time I have appreciated how well the LCR looks as I miss my 32 but after seeing yours lined up must admit the SEAT looks quite menacing

hi rich. i just had another play with photo shop, hypersilver is a very hard colour to make up so i got as close as i could. also thought i would add rear tinted lights :D

Definately think high power silver is the way forward for the wheels. I could kill you for doing that with the lights, something I've been thinking about for a while and now I've seen it on mine, I want it.

Thanks for putting the time and effort in:)

yeah i think the same, it makes the wheels stand out and look bigger or bigger impression. couldnt help playing with the lights and again they really suit the car :D

Looks like the lights are now added to the list. I've got the paint for the front splitter an the grey bit on the bottom of the rear bumper, looks as though its going to be black lights and maybe I'll do the C U P R A black aswell. I was thinkng of getting some lamin x for the front lights (light smoke) but think I'm going to leave them be. What do you think the best way to tint the rear lights would be? spray or tinting film?

fantastic results there RDS be careful with boost tho set to 9 turbo life will be reduced dramatically i would knock it down after this rolling road the k04 is not the best turbo to be pushed hard constantly

Cheers mate.:D
To be honest mate its rarely booted or driven like a lunatic. Cars covered 32,000 miles, so there should be plenty of life left in it. I'll see how it goes.

Tractions fine mate, get the obvious wheel spin but you just need to ease the power in. I would love an LSD but I think I've spent enough (for now).

Wait until you start to get bored of it then go stage 2, coilovers and you need the new Badger 5 TIP:D
