Think I'll get a new backbox first then map. Liking the sound of 185-190 bio does sound nice lol

The only problem I'm facing now is that I'm not sure what to do next with the car. If got a few little bits I wanna do like wheel refurb and re painting the callipers and hubs, but not sure what the next mod will be.

Any ideas??

Big brake kit

Big brake kit

That is an option! I would like to upgrade my breaks. Don't really no how much it would cost tbh

Unfortunately it comes with a hefty price tag. Hence not done very often. Unless you can find a Cupra in the breakers yard

Ye i guess that is an option. I think ill just be tinkering for a while, just little bits and bobs to tidy it up and make it look smarter

Get it detailed. Should be about 250 for a good paint correction and polishing.

Paint correction? Would that include stone chip repairs? I'm tempted to get the front bumper respected then maybe clear vinyl covered to protect it but can't help but think its a waste of money

Wouldn't bother with clear vinyl. It'll look off, unless you get the car covered.

Getting chips repairs can be done at ChipsAway or something of the like. Shouldn't cost much.

Then take it to get the car shining better than showroom spec No offence but it looks like it needs a good polish

EDIT: Other than that it's a flippin lovely car!! I want your exhaust

 

[Benzy]

It really does need a real good going over. Iv got a mate with a machine polisher and at some point I'm gonna head over there and spend a full day giving it a real thorough detailing. It really does need it, especially when you compare it to some of the others on here which always have that "wet look"

A mate got a new camera and called me up today wanting to try it out so off I went, found a quiet little late and used the smoke machine haha.

It's the first video iv got since I had the dpf delete

Thanks man I'm pretty happy with it

Today I spent 5 hours cleaning the car

Washed
Clayed
Washed again
Polished
Waxed

A quick half and half

And im done think she looks gleaming!

I added a little sticker

Then of course the inevitable happened

My next project is to refurb my alloys myself. Thinking of going for some nice gloss or matt black. Thoughts?

 

[benj1989]

Can't wait to see this beast at inters. I prefer gloss black as not keen on matte wheels

Looks much better shiny

I've just done my mr2 wheels myself and its very doable. Hard work, but easily done over a weekend.

This was my test run, quick primer and just the outside of the wheel. Looked great so sanded it again and did it properly:

 

[gethinwr93]

just read you're progress , nice work
If you don't mind me asking how much was the roof wrap? fancy doing it to mine but dont know how the edges would look as their is no where to tuck it in so to speak.
Dont suppose i could be cheeky and ask for a close up? :L

Gethin
