Hi there I’m new to seat cupra .net and bin advised over here buy a few friend and a couple of people off of other forums so I thought I would put some pics up and create a little build thread

Ok so i drive a white leon cupra k1 (58 reg as far a i know it is a genuine k1)
I brought the car with the idea that it would b a nice family car that i wouldn’t start to play with wouldn’t modify but what the heck it’s a vag so i could resist me self so her what i have done so far

here the car is how i brought it it has the adaptoive headlights and for some reason seat decide it paint the wheels black so it looks like every oter k1 on the road

the next step was get it low was looking like a 4x4 so some cheap coilovers have come as a temporary measure as a mate had a set laying around

was at work after getting the car cleaned and saw a perfect photo opportunity so had to take a few snaps

the next step was to run down to another m8 and get some 15mm spacers to get a bit of a wider look going at the rear it all sat quite well as a temporary measure as i was still undecided on what wheels to use as i didn’t want anything i had seen on a k1 before

You may be able to see the slight poke on the rear with this pic

i then had an amazing idea for winter wheels lets go orange (think i had one too many drinks at this point but what the heck i cracked on and this was what come at the end of it

so now i have a set of winter but i kind of forgot about the summer so i went up to see a Taz at atomic wheels and went in there with the idea of something big dish and different from the norm wheel that had changed buy the time i left as i walked out with a set of 3sdm 0.01 19 x 8.5 on the front (with falken 452 225 35 19) and 19 x 9.5 on the rear (with falken 452 235 35 19) after a few day of fiddling and driving about we had to put 3.8 degrees of negative camber on the rear

went back to me parents house to find that i had a 280mm momo team and boss laying in me shed so that was put on as well just wait for a horn button to come as that has been lost at some point some pics of it fitted

just a cheeky pic manly cos i thought the car look very nice like this

sorry for the bad quality ill get some gd quality pics up soon

just a few rolling shots i found

ok so went down to the body shop today to have a look on how the car is gettin on and to discuss some bits on how they wanted to do some things so they ar e now all sort had a look at the car to find out it had some damage before at somepoint in its life and had broken the slam panel so new slam panel was ordered £90 more for the slam panel also new head light and fog light were there as the fog light had been smashed buy a stone and the head light was scratched and i broke the mount were i rolled into a corsa
