So I've been busy over the last few weeks. Got all the painting done and just about finished fitting everything. This was the beautiful sight of having everything freshly painted:
First thing on was the cupra spoiler:
Before:
After:
Side view:
Rear bumper was next. Had this bumper on the car already but I bought it second hand so it was the wrong red and also had a dent in the diffuser. Bought a new diffuser, got the exhaust hole plastic welded and got it sprayed gloss black:
All fitted:
I added new plates at the same time:
Which are held on with these:
Glued to the back:
My newest purchase was a cupra front bumper from Dave at SERE. Got the bumper painted, bottom lip and number plate recess done gloss black and all grills done gloss black:
Foglights are fitted but not wired up yet. Handles are also colourcoded. Next job is to get the new door mouldings back on (which are gloss black) but the glue from the old ones is a right b*tch to get off. Any suggestions? Also, anyone who has done this front bumper conversion before, any idea where the external temperature sensor fits now?
Wing mirror caps are colourcoded and will be put on as soon as I can source a replacement driver's wing mirror that doesn't cost an arm and a leg! Hope ye like
