Thanks Craig.

Yeah think I'm going to order mine when I next get paid. Have noticed there back down to £120 plus postage now mate

Will replace the top mounts and possibly the drop links whilst there being done.

One more to show how the cars changed since I bought it

Was always skeptical about painting the badges black on black FRs but I like this. Good work.

Was 30cm x 100cm tinting film enough for each light?

I should really buy all the service parts first but another few weeks wouldn't hurt lol.

Yeah definitely gonna do top mounts and drop links too. They've gone back up to £124 now

Think I just need a triple r splitter to finish the front off.

I was too, never liked it until I saw a Cupra with it locally and decided to go for it.

You'll need 2 lots of 30x100cm film, one for each light.

I know its only gone up £4 lol but don't want to order them as know they'll come down again

Good stuff, will go well on yours Craig

Currently re-doing the front badge as wasn't 100% with it.

Ha ha I'm the same mate, hate it when things go up in price. There price hasn't changed it's the strength of the pesky euro

Had to do the same with the badge as when replacing it into the grill it got marked

I'm blaming my sausage fingers for that

 

[locky]

Got bored today, hope you don't mind

 

[DiddlyDonker]

Do you need heat to cure plastidip or was it a simple spray on, wait until it dries, job done? I want to spray my interior but not sure whether go wait until the weathers better.

Yeah fingers crossed it'll come down again in a few days.

I find the plasti-dip quite fragile and think it'll come off when washing the car.

Not at all Paul, feel free to do more. Looks awesome!!

No heat as it would melt, being rubber based. Very easy to use and it you mess it you just peel it off and start again

I think you'd be forever re-doing the interior as it would get scratched and marked easy I would imagine. I'd go for something more permanent inside.

 

[Daniel M]

Another little update.

Plasti-dipped my rear badge today.

Came out very well.











Just needs some darker wheels to finish the stealth look

 

[KebabWarrior81]

Badge looks great buddy, don't worry about washing it you'll be surprised how much hammer it can take

 

[Daniel M]

Thanks mate, still not 100% on it but, its growing on me.

 

[DiddlyDonker]

Good job, stealth look is what I'm after also with my black FR, thinking of going dark grey/anthracite on the badges and wheels.

Videos I've watched from a company called DipYourCar show PlastiDip to be very strong and durable, surely if it can withstand a high power pressure washer it can last on the interior?

Thanks mate.

Yeah maybe its because my experience so far has been when its still drying. Just couldnt see it standing up to a good wash lol.

 

[Daniel M]

Serviced the car today. All parts bought from Euro Car Parts for £53.

Oil change, oil filter, fuel filter and air filter.

Certainly not worth the extra money to have a stamp.

Looks great.

Wouldn't mind picking your brains on a few bits if your ever down the coast (am in Whitby)
