Ah the million dollar question, do I go stage 2 or do I save and buy a K1? One thing I do really like the look of on the Cupra R's is D.K's painted splitter. Really changes the stance of the car from the front. I don't know some days I really want to keep this and others I just feel like I need a stage 2 K1 and 365bhp in my life!

Update time:

Cleaning for the first time after winter.

Wheels off and brembos cleaned.

Alloys were very dirty.

Not for long.

Much better.

Some of my products on the bonnet of the beater I use to test them.

Seats out!

Made a lot easier with the new socket set.

Quite simple really, just remove these.

Then the two nuts at the front.

Slide back and tip so you can unplug the airbags.

In with the new!

They look similar but are so much better, the standard seats are some of the worst I have come across in a sporty car and this swap has fixed that and keeps the OEM+ look that I want.

Then to end the day I took my mate to pick up his new car.

Really happy for him its a lovely example with very low miles, a few of us are gonna get together with our cars over easter so I will upload some more pics of it then.

No mate im afraid I only managed to get the front ones, I have seen the rears on yours and they look great! Maybe in the future I will pick some up.

Cheers Sam i'm glad you found me too! We will have to meet up when I pick up a FMIC from AMD. I could use an extra eye and you must be something of an expert on fitting them by now! I want to put a catch tank in too really.

Anyway I hadn't noticed how long it's been since I updated on here so I better add some more pics!

Front and rear strut braces plus my Jetex, heat shield and 80mm T.I.P (Thank you B5)

Swapped the number plate bulbs over to LED's.

Gives a nice clean white light instead of yellow, my mate says it looks like something out of Need for Speed when he is following me but I think it looks great.

Also got front LED's for the sidelights.

This is with the mains on too, you can't really see it but in person the sidelights are blue and the mains are more yellow which I really like.

I also have LED's for the interior bulbs too but I haven't taken pics yet.

What do we have here?

Oh just 710 Bhp!

Couple more of the Renault.

Odd handbrake which apparently takes some getting used to.

New Brakes are here.

Ferodo pads for the front.

OE for the rears, they don't really do the work anyway.

Sounds good.
