Haha LOL.

Never been a fan of debadging, but sure go ahead, you never know I might actually like it on my own car.

Though apparently it's a bitch trying to get hold of a debadged FR grille!

Okay, debadging wasn't...quite what I had in mind.

Someones been bitten by the modding bug BIG time!! Looks amazing.. I like the red surround.. Looks smoother IMO.. And also, get the dremel out, and cut out the honeycombe around the foglights.. Makes a huge difference!!

Some pics of a mod that have really improved the handling of the car - especially when driving round the house...

Tarmac! :)

Think these pictures show off the Cupra lights a bit better too as there was too much sunlight reflecting in them last time.

The silver mk3 belongs to my brother (DHDavy) He's done a few mods, Cupra spoiler, Gloss black b and c pillars and LED sidelights and Ultra headlight bulbs. You should really start you own readers rides thread Davy!

Haha Has your bro got a Chill? Chilpra mk3 coming on? :lol:

According to the DVLA is a 1.9 TDI S, but it has Chill seats and even stranger it has front fogs but no switch or wiring for them.

But it is well on the way to becoming a Chilpra! He's bought a LCR splitter and has the is just waiting on getting some mesh before he colour codes the bumpers and cuts out the rest of the slots - the TDIs already have two already cut out for some sort or air intake I guess.

Looking good mate!

Cheers Jase - it's no Boc, but it's not looking too bad. I think looks wise it definitely needs a better rear bumper, maybe get an FR one at some stage or wait and see if they do anything better for the facelift.

Dechromification!

So yesterday with the help of my brother I vinyl wrapped the grille surround in gloss black.

Wasn't too hard, as the chrome surround actually comes off the grille.

Pics aren't great from my phone, but you get the idea.
