Looking good this I like the wrapping inside the car looks like you've got the hang of it. I hate wrapping things lol

Love yellow Ibizas and yours looks spot on mate

 

[mk4 cupra]

Cheers wraping is quite easy to behonest but I need to re do one of the door handles due to in this summers heat it has srank a little so is showing a little of black an me being a perfectionist it needs redoing lol cheers for the comment I wish it was as nicely done as your mk3 throught

 

[chaoticreign]

Proper love this! looks really nice, what sort of MPG do you get from it?

 

[mk4 cupra]

i finely found where they where hinding the volvo truck coin holders so i kind of borrowed one from the stores o sit in my rear cup holder due to i never use it becasue cans and cups etc always seem to fall out so i made a good use of it

look at what mr post man brought me i wonder whats in this box well i guess its from halfords

[/URL][/IMG]

my new head unit with bluetooth parrot and song player (apple compaterable) aux port and usb port plus back lit red wanted it to be color matching plus steering wheel control ready

[/URL][/IMG]

my alpine cbe 133bt head unit fitted was a bit of a pain in the arse to get into the hole due to the wires then after fitting i found out the parrrot voice control was not working and that i had forgot to plug in the mircophone silly me

[/URL][/IMG]

next day removed head unit fitted and mouted the mircophone in the under storage compartemnt

[/URL][/IMG]

went down to seat and orderd some fr top corner grills so they match the lower grill just need to buy some paint to color code them with the other grills and ill post pics once fitted

[/URL][/IMG]

now i have been after one of these lower dog bone mounts for quite some time so finaly orderd a superpro diesel version it was alot harder than expected i have got to say it makes a world of diffrance when driveing it makes the car feel more responceve
reduces wheel hop
the engine in fact feels more like its actually in the bay in fact i love the way it makes it drive..

but on that noat i hope it gets softer in time because the engine vibration when in idel is awfull feels like its trying to rattel the car to bits this does stop when driving but my car does idel alot in traffic so ill trial it for a month or so see if it improves if not ill have to change it which is a hugh shame and am hoping i dont have to due to how better it drives

i enjoy your updates.
ive been put off lower engine mount after fitting one to my pd150 leon it never fully settled down enough for me to like it.
it was a bloody awesome mod on my old 20vt cupra though stopped the engine feeling like it was going to end up on my lap.
ive really taken a liking to yellow mk4s lately i think i would have got a yellow one if i hadnt found such a low mileage black one.
yellow is definatly seats signature colour even if that havent all stayed that colour.

 

[mk4 cupra]

Cheers Cupra. Al I do agree that yellow is seats signiture color that's why I wanted a yellow one over any other color.

I did look at them facelift fr grills due to them being color coded but the honey cone is larger than the standerd lower grill on the Cupra where the ones I have are the same I will be making a honey cone center one with s badge in the center when I hve the spere time

as i said earlyer i needed new rear disc brakes so i throught id fix the binding hand brake plus upgraded the rear discs. i orderd some brembo maxi discs and pads and some hand brake helper springs for the calipers plus treat it too a new pollen filter while i was spending

[/IMG]

once fitted

[/IMG]

and the springs now fitted makes the hand brake feel so much better such a good cheep easy up grade took like two mins for both sides.

[/IMG]

now with it all built back up..

[/IMG]

next on the cards i was thinking of doing something a little diffrent again i look in the rear wheels and the rear brakes look lost so i have an idea todo what the honda civic has done with the back plates on the new type Rs so am going to get some type r back plates cut mine down so there not viewable and weld the honda once to mine then mount.. just need to do some resurch and find out if they will fit etc..

i hope to update again soon all comments welcome

Think I might fit some of these discs and pads to my car, need new back ones. Are the rear discs 232mm solid?

Yes there are 232 solid to behonest the discs are very good and am very happy with them

Only thing I would have to criticise is the cone air filter placed directly in front of the MAF.

This causes turbulent rather than laminar air flow through the MAF which leads to MAF reading issues.

I would try to get a piece of straight section between filter and MAF....

May I ask how long of a piece

 

[mk4 cupra]

I finally got a paint match to my standard cupra grills so I could paint my per facelift top grills

[/URL][/IMG]

Well it's not perfect but dam near enought very happy with the match tobe honest

So i painted the grills and fitted

[/URL[/IMG]

Just need to get around to makeing the centre grill now when I get some honey cone the hopefully the front will look more complete.

While I had the paint out I decided my fog light grills had seen better days and required a new coat of paint due to the paint was peeling and stone chipped so I got to work reconnditing them

What they looked like before

Preparation

And the finished product the above phot of the front end had the newly painted covers on
