Hi there I’m new to seat cupra .net and bin advised over here buy a few friend and a couple of people off of other forums so I thought I would put some pics up and create a little build thread

Ok so i drive a white leon cupra k1 (58 reg as far a i know it is a genuine k1)
I brought the car with the idea that it would b a nice family car that i wouldn’t start to play with wouldn’t modify but what the heck it’s a vag so i could resist me self so her what i have done so far

here the car is how i brought it it has the adaptoive headlights and for some reason seat decide it paint the wheels black so it looks like every oter k1 on the road

IMG-20120401-00014.jpg


the next step was get it low was looking like a 4x4 so some cheap coilovers have come as a temporary measure as a mate had a set laying around

IMG-20120512-00005.jpg

IMG-20120512-00006.jpg


was at work after getting the car cleaned and saw a perfect photo opportunity so had to take a few snaps

IMG-20120516-00009.jpg

IMG-20120516-00013.jpg


the next step was to run down to another m8 and get some 15mm spacers to get a bit of a wider look going at the rear it all sat quite well as a temporary measure as i was still undecided on what wheels to use as i didn’t want anything i had seen on a k1 before

You may be able to see the slight poke on the rear with this pic

i then had an amazing idea for winter wheels lets go orange (think i had one too many drinks at this point but what the heck i cracked on and this was what come at the end of it

IMG-20120609-00031.jpg

IMG-20120609-00033.jpg


so now i have a set of winter but i kind of forgot about the summer so i went up to see a Taz at atomic wheels and went in there with the idea of something big dish and different from the norm wheel that had changed buy the time i left as i walked out with a set of 3sdm 0.01 19 x 8.5 on the front (with falken 452 225 35 19) and 19 x 9.5 on the rear (with falken 452 235 35 19) after a few day of fiddling and driving about we had to put 3.8 degrees of negative camber on the rear
