The red/blue rims are the Reps, i don't want mine mistaken for the fake BBS, label wh0re or what:)

I am especially proud of my german style pressed plates.

But it does have OSD written all over it :):)

This is the colour i am thinking of changing my BBS to, i think it rocks better than black.

No sure who's car it is, but it looks awesome

Awesome looking car!

The wheels in that gunmetal colour would be cracking!! A lot of time and effort has gone into that engine bay - makes me want to get cracking with mine!!

A very nice car indeed, i wish my engine bay looked like yours. [B)]

Good choice of wheel as well, i'm definitely feeling the gun metal grey on the red cupra too.

As good as black looks, it's pretty common, i thought about having my wheels painted gun metal.

keep up the good work.

thank lads, I think powder coated in Gun metal it is, you can get all 4 alloys done here for about €340, which is probably about £20 sterling, LOL

Car looks fantastic mate. Ye I too think the wheels in a gunmetal grey would look better. I do like black on the grey but think a lighter colour would look fresher, in my opinion anyway!

Added some new shiny bits over the weekend,
New Dipstick, oil cap, Air filter and bonnet lift, i am well please with the look.
I just new to find decent looking water cap and coolant cap that does have a crazy price tag.

What are you putting them in the ditch or something? Do you go back to the R32's?

Yeah the LCR is still in great nick, only 1 minor scratch on the whole car! To be honest when i bought it off you and was driving it back down south the clutch was slipping mad in higher gears, i thought, "oh balls a lemon" but is has settled down and is still on the original clutch which is good for such an aggressive remap.(touch wood)

I am looking at taking out the Kenwood KVT-627 you fitted, i just cannot get on with the IPOD interface, expensive bit of kit i know, but not much if its hard work to use.

Do you who wired it up? was it a seats out job for the receiver in the boot?

Over all though, i have had zero problems(apart from the boot Lock) i am well happy, it was a good honest sale.


P.S let go of the past and change your signature! :)

signature hasnt been changed as I no longer use this forum.

I had a Golf GTI, Golf V6 4motion, a mk5 R32 and a Golf gt tdi (current one) since I sold you the LCR. I like Golfs lol. The stereo was fitted by sound in motion in campsie (I am sure they have a website).
