Final polish and one coat of Z5 and a Z8 wipedown.

Backbox will be changed soon.

Back end is raised for the MOT and I know it needs spacers

After a while mind, problems sealing the rear brakes and then the Wilwoods decided to leak, all sorted now.

Just trying to sort insurance.

Also got some 20mm spacers for the rear.

This HAS to be the cleanest MK3 Cupra on here! Its so BRIGHT white, very tidy also. Takes me back to my MK4 polo after I got it resprayed in the lightest shade of candy white.

Fancy a swap? LOL

 

[cus]

any plans for the interior? gonna get some bucket seats or anything like that?

 

[CupraElliott]

Yeah, after driving the rents nice comfy C5 it made me realise how **** the standard seats are, when you sit in them you feel like your going to fall out just sitting stationary! Can't get comfy either so going to take some getting used too

Gave it another wash today and fitted the rear spacers, it's been washed three times now and only done 2.6 miles which is worrying because the arches were filthy after that, it just shows up so much on the white, so there getting polished and wax oiled over the weekend and busy lowering the suspension back down

 

[CupraElliott]

Also a million thanks for all the kind comments, I have had people stop by the garage and compliment me, it makes it all worth while, all the blood, sweat (no tears , high blood pressure, grey hairs and nagging from the mrs

 

[CupraElliott]

20mm spacers fitted and tightened to 86nm, suspension re-lowered and copper greased.

 

[CupraElliott]

A nice ride height I think, rear slightly higher than the front for a bit of stance and plenty of room on the front to be 'practical' and a bit of arch gap left, I will see how it settles.

HID's were refitted.

Wheels were polished and sealed.

I think it's clean enough for it's first outing
