Josh's Leon FR tdi. R32 interior fitted.

[joshy514]

The LCR rims suit the car well mate and although there only 1 inch bigger they do look quite abit bigger , glad your happy with them

good job on the pillar spraying, like you say hope the paint holds out for you.

We're all men we all want that extra inch! Haha. Can't get over how nice she's sitting slowly rubbing away the rear arch liners though lol.
Well I'm going to coat the seat belt trims a few more times than the others especially where they rub, for extra protection!

Quite a good outcome!

Need to be lower now

Nice one on the black interior, never seen someone do this before. As long as you put lots of coats on then it should last forever

People have done it, a lad with a tolly did a sort of beginners guide, and I've just gone with some of his ideas really, I was going to use pleather for the roof but after buying it I changed my mind as it would be impossible for it not to sag.... Doing about 6 coats on the bits that will get rubbed against!

Ah right iv never come across that guide. Judging from the above photo they have come out nice, very OEM mate. Did you use matte black or something else?

Joe20vt I think his name is, they are better than I though, few diddly bits to do but like joe says prep is everything, most of it is in the house now nice and warm to harden the paint. Well, I was going to use plasti kote gloss black like he did, but b and q were sold out so got satin instead and glad I did because its a good match to oem lower half panels! I sprayed the drivers b pillar is it? But didn't need to as I've god a black nomad one coming on Tuesday, also got to spray up one of the sun visor clips I snapped lol! Should be here Tuesday too.

Hopefully tomorrow will bring....

what with all the snow, it will be like Christmas for you then when all that lot arrives. out of interest are the lcr wheel nut covers like a grey colour ? was looking at some on ebay but wanted black, and what black fabric spray did you get ?

 

[joshy514]

They're coming direct from dave at sere, he's sorted me out as I don't have lock nuts on the front, so he is sending 18x normal and 4x lock nut covers. I don't know, they're what they would have come out the factory with though.... I'll upload a pic tomorrow. I got that off amazon, I'll send a link now but my fecking laptop has overheated and going really slow....

 

[joshy514]

Oh yeah, those sunny tyres on the LCR wheels, did they hum between 20 and 50 and get louder under breaking? Or do I need to spend more money I don't have on a wheel bearing?

didnt hear any humming. only done about 40 miles on them though with all the back seats folded down so car was louder inside anyway, stick your old wheels back on and see if it goes. apart from the sunny's being shite anyway they seemed ok

 

[joshy514]

That's what makes me think, I couldn't hear it before. Hahaha you're right they're **** need some sticks and a refurb and ill be sorted

wheels look really good mate

just out if interest - are your wing mirror covers wrapped in gloss black wrap, or painted? looks awesome and wanna do the same

 

[joshy514]

Thanks
They're sprayed dude, bought new covers and had them done profesionally, didn't want to see any drips or flat spots in such an obvious place or on such an obvious colour. I did it because, because it's an FR it has the greyish mirrors from the factory, (one was cracked when I bought it too) so the silver ones don't benefit from the different colours. Now though, black and silver is the theme, got black brakes, pillars, mirrors, interior is in the process, roof is being done by a mate in July after I'm back from a 3 month deployment and tints at the same time!

 

[alyraver]

Yer man am def feelin that theme. Gloss black on silver looks wicked. Look forward to seein the progress dude

 

[joshy514]

I do too with yours, wait until you catch the bug, it's got me baaaddd!! Good job I am away for 3 months because my O/D is quite big haha.

 

[joshy514]

Got a few things delivered, not what I was expecting though.
Connects2 is in and I'm very pleased with it!

Wheel caps came but its too cold to fit them lol.

The boot tray came but its really cracked! So it'll be sent back to the seller. Wether he likes it or not I didn't pay for it in this condition.

The trim is all sprayed, quite pleased really only thing is the paint is quite soft so I might get some matte lawyer for them.

Something people won't like but I do....

 

[MarkWales]

Looking good
