yes but in the wrong colour... I'll find some Bright red... put one coat of that ontop of the 2 SMooth Red on one calliper that I've already done... 
realised in your alloys pics... did you use the same wheel nuts from the steelies you had? Is that ok to do? + I'd recommend that you got a set of four locking wheel nuts - doesn't look like much could stop a thief in that case mate!

yeah I think it is ok to use the same nuts
they work all right lol,I do have some locking nuts, but the key had started to crack so I've taken them out until I get the new key which I've ordered
.....theres not many thieves around here anyway, just "wannabe" chavs that act hard but don't dare to do anything lol, and I don't park anywhere dangerous anyway lol
ah right good! ... been quiet on forums for days lol... been pretty inactive over here... Done anything additional to your car then?

Nothing yet mate, haven't got the time or money ... But after the 9th July I'm a free man ... Plans are to lower it and get the exhaust changed before the MOT. Otherwise it will probably fail

The bolts you used might not be correct for the wheels, depends if the bolt seat is radius or tapered type. Most aftermarket wheels are tapered and most OEM wheels are radius. i.e the white Ronals and the Oz's I have on my car are radius.
Wow its been a while since I updated this thread, well this week I got it lowered!
I managed to get hold of a Koni adjustable suspension kit, cheap drops the car 40/40mm.
well heres a pic before I fitted the suspension system:
as you can see the rears were already low on the standard shocks lol, thats how stuffed they were!
i then went to remove the old suspension, looks like everyone was right about the front set, the bolts are so hard to get off without a buzz gun, but i figured someting out
fitted:
the photos dont do it justice, looks a lot lower than before in the flesh lol
will have to take it out and go for a proper photoshoot
also the handling is also a hell of a lot better

Bought some new components for the front of the car, needed more sound at the front!!!
Decided I would mount the woofers in the doors, the tweeters where the normal 4" speaker goes (under the vent on the dash board) and the crossovers behind the glovebox.
firstly measured out the speaker hole in the door and started cutting
then used the cut outs for mounting the tweeters in the original 4" holes, ingenious....
took the golve box out and mounted both crossovers to the back
then i sprayed the speaker surrounds

they sound absolutely fantastic but the windows dont wind down all the way as they hit the speaker magnet lol, but theyre fine there temporarily
will build proper speaker door mounts so they protrude out and point at my face

I like what you have done with the speakers mate. That was an ingenious idea for mounting the tweeters in the dash.
Car is looking really good mate.

1st idea with wheels in black with silver lip and red centre, and door mirrors colour coded:
hopefully people can come up with some other ideas, and show me using photoshop if you can

cupra.al, got me thinking and did a quick photoshop, not great but you get the idea:
i think it looks mint, would need side skirt to finish off the look though, (as you can probably tell i tried to draw some on )
makes it look lower
did another chop of it with white wheels and door mirrors, couldnt get the door mirrors proper white thought, but they would be done in alpine white if they were

looks alright with that lower bit in red might be an idea to try the middle bit red aswell just to see how that looks. it might look quite so good but it worth a go.
