Gravesie LCR Progress Thread - Back on the road ! :) 29/12/2012

[Gravesie-363]

Been a long time since i updated this .... Again!

Just ordered some coilovers and had some nice man drop me some 25mm h&r spacers off ... 15mm for the front, just need to pick them ones up from my mate

 

[Scott-o]

Janet lent you the dosh for the coilies then? :O epic! haha

 

[Gravesie-363]

She has like haha! Just in time for VW fest, keep it quiet though please

 

[Gravesie-363]

Well the car has gone from standard looking to pretty much how i want it to look in the space of around 4 days!

My coilovers got delivered last monday along with 25mm H&R spacers

My mate fitted them on the monday night, 25mm spacers were too wide, so swapped with mates 15mm

The car was unbelieveably low when picked it up, raised it up on and carbon wrapped front S badge on the tuesday

Dewipered and removed 'Cupra R' boot badge on the Thursday

Cleaned Friday

Pressed plates and stickers fitted after VW Fest on sunday ... So pleased with the way it looks now, looks like a Leon should

This is what your tyres look like after a car full of tents and a ride ot VW fest

.... Just need to drop the front end down a touch more and we will be laughing

Getting tracked at revolution in Newcastle next week, going for fast road set up

Looks nice mate, you've tempted me to de wiper instead of getting a fabia / polo wiper.

Only think I don't like is the wheel *****s sticker, should only be aloud when you have a nice set of euro rims

 

[Gravesie-363]

Haha, i had a million sets of wheels on my corsa so I kinda took it from there tbh

Plus i think it looks good, so it stays

 

[Scott-o]

Looks mint mate!

Sure you only had two sets of wheels on your corsa don't like them stickers anymore like since seeing a chav with lexus lights and one of them stickers getting too commercial

Meet up soon I reckon!

 

[Gravesie-363]

Silver one aswell

Yeah i know what you mean about the sticker, but im a sucker for it

Yeah deffo have to meet up soon ... Hopefully be tracked up and drive properly next week!

[Gravesie-363]

Just jamex ones, not the best ride comfort, but do the job of going low as fook!

Yeah its perfect on the rear like! I get a little bit of rubbing when hit big bumps but it doesnt bother me tbh would be no good for track or anything, but i use it solely for looks tbh, not to fussed bout the power anymore!
