Is that bird droppings or the lacquer peeling? it is lacquer peeling?

Bird drop stains shouldn't be a problem. The Orange peel is possible to get out with a machine however it does require some work. Otherwise you would need to possible wet sand the peel areas which I wouldnt dare to do on other peoples cars...yet

Car looks fab btw.

 

[Black TDI Turbo]

Yeah its the laqure bubbling i think with a reaction to the bird crap i think, it feels really rough havnt tried using anything on it as yet might see works bodyshop to flat it off and machine polish to remove if thats the only way to do it otherwise cars great i love it.

is that rear badge from the mk2 leon??? looks pretty cool

 

[Black TDI Turbo]

Not that i know of just the standard LCR rear badge.

 

[jordibravo]

the bumpers and rims were changed or it's standart of any FR? I've never seen this combination

 

[johntheboy]

Looking good craig, ill keep an eye out, looking forward to seeing what the HIDs are like. Looked into what remap you want yet?

The FR had the Cupra bumpers with different wheels. The FR+ has Cupra R bumpers and 17" versions of the Cupra R wheels. The Leon badge is standard for the later FR's

Yeh got a green cotton panel filter in at the weekend, made a decent difference, it seems to be running smoother and helping to turbo to spool slightly earlier. Next on the list are lights, whether I get decent bulbs or fit hids (havent looked into how much of a hastle they are to fit yet) then lower S3 strut brace and look into a brake upgrade. Still happy with it at the mo? Enjoying the diesel side of life?

Well ordered 6000k xenon headlight kit and 4 l.e.d xenon white sidelight bulbs so should be fitted hopefully this week and also fitted boost gauge, just in need of a pillar pod now lol

 

[johntheboy]

just in need of a pillar pod now lol

Should be a few knocking about for sale on here. Someone also makes the housings to go into the air vent closest to the window. Cant rember who that is but shouldnt be too hard to find.

 

[Black TDI Turbo]

Yeah im not too keen on the air vent gauge pods very good work tho nevpod i think it is but i use my air vent lol Will get some pics up when ive fitted the lights

 

[johntheboy]

Didnt think until today... my mate used to have a pillar pod but took it out, ive txt him to see if he still has it unless you've bought one already.

 

[Black TDI Turbo]

Yea john if you could send him a text, ive just been on the phone to bill (badger 5) and ordered my green cotton panel filter so that should be here on thursday and my hids arrived today so shall fit them tomorrow then led bulbs should be here thursday too

 

[johntheboy]

Unfortunately he's sold it mate Let me know how you get on with the hids Ive no idea if theyre a nightmare to fit or not. Ill have to get over for a look see at yours sometime when you've got sorted with the bits your after.
