Daniel M's FR PD170 - Fixed 24.07.2017

[Daniel M]

Thanks mate, just hope the FR badge is ok underneath and that the double sided tape I used for the mask comes off without taking any paint with it lol.

 

[Daniel M]

Work so far and because I'm bored.

Ha ha it should be fine mate just remove it asap,if it takes a bit of the lettering paint off just go over them by hand with a fine brush. Just don't have any beers before hand lol

Hey mate great work BUT.... there's an easier way. What if I told you I did this and didn't touch a can of paint? or wrap? or physicaly apply anything to it lol

I'll let you ponder that for a bit ............

Haha that won't be a problem as I don't drink, but just had a look and I think its ready to be refitted.

Is it off a different model just with the badge taken off? Or have you taken the silver paint off it?

 

[Daniel M]

Here's the finished piece. Needs touching up around the badge slightly as the tape did take a little paint with it, but generally pleased with it.

 

[MATTCR]

top effort mate yeah i just sanded the paint off mine and polished it

 

[Daniel M]

Thanks mate.

Another pic of the steering wheel insert in better light.



Also got a Cupra grille for free today from my mates tyre place. Will clean it up and fit it so my sprayed standard one can be sold. Also means it wont chip



He's said I can have his pre-fl FR/Cupra bumpers (white) for £50.

 

[Daniel M]

Fitted my steering wheel insert but not happy with my touch up around the FR badge but from a distance it looks good.

 

[KebabWarrior81]

Looking good that mate top job.

 

[Daniel M]

Thanks mate. Enquiring about a remap this week

Just dont want to have the dpf off as its double to cost....

 

[KebabWarrior81]

Sweet get her done mate had big problems with my old FR with DPF being one of them. If yours is good then don't worry about it. If you get it mapped at a place that can remove them I'm sure if you want it done they will do and alter the map to suit.

Before and after of the interior.

Yeah I know a few guys have remapped the PD170 without the dpf removed and been fine. Fingers crossed mine will be fine, though its on 83k now.....

Cool just cross the bridge if and when mate. Heck of a difference with your interior mate it looks very nice indeed.

 

[Daniel M]

Thanks again mate. Bored so did a comparison shot.

 

[Daniel M]

Not much of an update but one non the less. Swapped my sprayed front grille for the Cupra one I got for free. Had to clean it up and give it a good polish first.

 

[KebabWarrior81]

Looks great that Dan! Are you doing your s badge black? Got some carbon wrap to do mine front and back but feeling like poo at the min so not upto much.

 

[Big Lee M]

Car looks great, loving the little touches you keep adding. I'm thinking of having my dash flocked like yours as it looks amazing.

Thanks again mate. Bored so did a comparison shot.

Cheers for putting the link for the number plate up too as I need one.

No, I like the S silver. I think if I was going to do the badge I might as well get a de-badged grille. Certainly a big improvement from when I first got it.

Thanks mate, dash flocking was only £56. Thinking of having some more bits done like the steering wheel cowling and maybe the steering wheel insert I've just done haha.

No worries, the front plate is really small. Never had any bother with it (touches wood) either surprisingly.
