Right, following on from yesterday's post;

Yellow Lamin-X side repeaters;
IMG_0121.jpg


H+R spacers, these were the rear 13mm, mostly cleaned up :)
IMG_0119.jpg


Quick snap of the new front discs, also used plenty of products to clean up my callipers, but I will do these yellow eventually;
The front's also have 10mm H+R spacers on.
IMG_0120.jpg


And after nearly a full day of detailing....I'm let down by my iPhone camera.
It really doesn't do the pictures justice, the red is lovely and deep now, also the dirt build up in the arches has all gone.
Car was jet washed, foamed, washed with 2 bucket method, clay barred, waxed and then polished :) Only thing I haven't done is sort the wheels, as they need sealing but chances are, they'll be glass black in a few months anyway :)

And the arty farty shot :) You can get the gist of the spacers here, make the wheels poke out nicely for when she's lowered ;)
Also shows off the newly painted 'S' on the grill, the vinyl didn't go too well :(

Yeh I wouldn't mind going in a mapped Leon/or any of your Cupras (as mines only FR) to see the difference. Got the cash sat here ready for it to be mapped/roof wrap/tints. But thinking of buying a pit bike tomorrow.

No updates mate, been at work and just had to pay 900 quid for my insurance!
Got the bike rack all fitted and adjusted today and thought it'd be rude not to go for a ride with the whether! :)
