Nice motor, I have that Forge recirc and headunit, they are great quality items.

I wish my 20VT Sport had a deeper rear bumper like that

 

[BoomhaueR]

Thanks. Yeah I sure don't miss having to change CD's in that darn changer!

 

[RickC]

looking good, thats how mine started, what are your plans?

 

[BoomhaueR]

thats amazing never seen one in black.

Really? Yours is the famous purple one right?

Really? Yours is the famous purple one right?

sorry, i was venting some anger, not in any way aimed at you.

just gets annoying maybe not just me but people post a pic of their car and its just another leon in a different colour,

maybe the famous sheep mod the fabia rear wiper.

please dont take this the wrong way, you have a very nice LCR, i liked mine when it was black polished up really well and it looked so mean.


yes mine is purple for now.

Looks in very good condition that so will make a grand base for some modifications and you have a few planned ! My car (albeit tiny and insignificant) was completely standard before I joined the site and my bank balance declined quite a bit. Started modifying, then going to shows and it all builds up. Take your time and enjoy the new beastie. They all start the same honey and they definately all end up with their own unique touches. Keep us updated

 

[BoomhaueR]

Well I've now got my Revo stage 1 and loving it so far.

Next up will be the boost and oil temp gauges going in. But first, they required a little customisation to match the car (which took a few hours):

[partom02]

nice. they look awesome in black

 

[BoomhaueR]

Cheers Guys. Just fitted the carbon/leather gear knob...and it's so much nicer. And as I haven't got a pic of my Alpine HU I thought I'd get that in too.

 

[BAD_MF]

Nice!
Is the shift knob OEM?

 

[BoomhaueR]

No, it is an upgraded seat sport one. It's so much nicer than the standard one. Bigger and much better looking. Have a look at this for options from the dealer: http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=83291

Very nice gearknob, I'd love one but can't justify paying so much for something so little.

I want one of these

The prices are now less than in that original post above. I got mine for £55...but IMO it was worth it as my original was quite worn out and not very sporty looking.

Mine is worn out too matey, as said I would love to change it. Might do so when funds allow
