Mate, mines no more than a garden ornament these days!! I've brought some porsche 6 pot (front) and 4 pot (rear) Brembo calipers recently but I'm not sure if they'll make it on the car... Good to hear that you're upgrading to 312 mm brakes. My LCR Brembos will be going spare by the end of winter...

Hope you're well mate? It'll be good catch up once you're back from Lisa's. have a safe drive buddy

 

[CraigFrTsi]

Thanks mate might be interested in yours if you do go ahead with the brake swap, also saw Gary and Lou the other day I see you failed to turn him into a seat owner lol but his gt86 is nice and a spacious boot then I saw the back shelf(as oppose to seats)

 

[CraigFrTsi]

Well I fitted the badge-less grill this afternoon and even though I haven't painted it silver I think it looks ok so now I have an FR honeycomb grill up for grabs so if interested just msg me.

Looks good!

 

[CraigFrTsi]

Looks good!

Got to admit I think so too considering the price I got it for off fleabay (a lot cheaper than je design and the likes)

 

[minnnt]

Nice work Craig. Really suits it well.

 

[CraigFrTsi]

Thanks minnnt, the only thing that niggles at the back of my mind is that the honeycomb is to small and doesn't Match with the lower grills of the car. But hey sod it I'm getting over it lol

 

[too hot]

Lunar grey great colour an polishes up a treat.
Some good mods you got there keep up the good work

Cheers mate, yeah when clean looks awesome it's just a pain in the arse to keep it that way lol, but been contemplating a wrap or plasti-wrap but torn between speed blue look, the green from the Fabia Monte Carlo and also yellow(which I know would be a bitch to keep clean aswell, but yellow and gloss black alloys......mmmmm lol)

New grill looks good. Personally I'd keep it the colour it is, silver is far easier to keep looking clean than the likes of a yellow wrap. Although speed blue is the best colour.

Yeah think I'm about 3 maybe 4 houses up so you can imagine what it's like trying to get out in the mornings lol

Saw you again today at the tesco/toton hill junction, you were just coming round the bend going up the hill as I was going round the bend heading towards Chilwell.

I think I spend more time looking for other Seats than I do looking at where I am going

 

[CraigFrTsi]

So quick update looking at going to get the car lowered finally on the 2nd so will post pics up later in the day on Saturday the 2nd, also been looking at and contemplating 18" wheels in particular a set of mk1 LCR Ronals that I've seen going cheap just need a quick sand down and powder coating which a company have said can do them at £60 for the lot.

If anyone has any input/advice in regards the wheels it'd be great to hear from you

 

[minnnt]

Hey Craig. If you go ahead with the new wheels then can I have first dibs on your FR wheels if you decide to sell them.

Cheers.

 

[CraigFrTsi]

If get rid of course you can, just not sure yet might keep them so I have winter and summer setup but it'll be awhile yet before I get the 18" on yet as it's just the wheels need to get tyres too
