[dannychapman10]

Nice one Danny

I have smoked laminX fogs but want a set of yellow ones too so I can chop and change

Cheers Mike
Yeah I'm really pleased with the results, look spot on and happy with how easy to fog lights come out! I'm planning yellow callipers so should tie in well!
Do you still have you Dilbias?

Havent had Dbilas for aaaaaaages lol.

Yellow Cupra Calipers or brake upgrade?

 

[dannychapman10]

Yeah thought you'd got rid of it lol what you got now?
Yeah, yellow cupra callipers as she's running standard power they're more then enough for me at the mo not to warrant a big brake upgrade... As much as I'd like some shiny 8 pots lol

More modding today

First up, this idea I stole from Mike (TFSI_Mike) Think it's brilliant, would have never thought to put it there but glad I did as it suits the black headlining very well!
The wire is all hidden behind the plastics etc but need to plump it in this week from the fuse box;

Next up was one of these trusty ol' things....extra 10bhp I heard Yellow to match my theme;

Didn't get round to removing the dealer sticker, but I will this week

Then decided to have a play with some vinyl, now I'm not the greatest when it comes to vinyl.....which is why I'm gonna spray it haha, doesn't look too bad for now

good updates there mate.

Cheers matey,

Itching to get the H+R spacers on! The rear wheels are tucked wayyyy too far in on the Leon

 

[Smee]

Grill isn't too hard mate, but when the car is back I'll be spraying it as there's too many bubbles in the vinyl

I always thought the chrome Seat badge broke up the front of a black Cupra nicely, with the black grill and everything?

 

[Smee]

was thinking everything but i photoshopped it and i wasnt sure

 

[dannychapman10]

was thinking everything but i photoshopped it and i wasnt sure

Yeah, I had my black FR550 with black everything including wheels and the chrome badge broke it all up, oh and the red brake callipers too

 

[Smee]

 

[dannychapman10]

Not bad that mate, but if you go for gloss black wheels, I wouldn't do the badge, but do everything else

 

[Smee]

well i want the wheels to go the dark grey like on the rear bumper insert. might also paint the front grills that colour also like on the old mk4 cupra.

anyway im spamming your thread.. again lol

Update time;

These were a little unexpected today, but needed to be done, so without further a-do and £200 lighter;

New front discs and pads, weird that my car didn't have the brake wear connector for some reason? Anyway, hell of an improvement over what it was like before! The 345mm callipers a p*ss easy to get off, then 2 large bolts for the carriers and then a good old wack with a rubber mallet and the disc was off, took about 1:30hours to do both sides

Then these went on;

10mm front and 13mm rear, H+R, had them on my Audi. I think that they are brilliant quality for what they are! I was admiring them today while cleaning them up for fitment on the Leon and can understand why they cost a few bob

And for tomorrow is this;

Because the car currently looks like this *:sad1:

So, now I have a full day to myself tomorrow, plan is;

Get the car jet washed including the wheel arches and use karcher foam wash,
Wash the car using 2 bucket method,
Rinse,
Get to work on the alloys and brake callipers,
Clay bar,
Wax,
Polish

And then we should be good to go for pictures, also need to get my front S badge painted tomorrow

needs lowering its a 4 x 4 cant wait to see pics of the spacers intrigued
