My Cupra progress thread!

[joostdeblok]

I finally fitted my door sill protectors after just looking at them and not bothering.

Let me know what you think. I am not so keen on carbon pieces but I do actually like these

Just reading trough your thread, where can you get these? Normally not a carbon piece fan myself but like them alot!

Looking good mate, that exhuast will look mint when fitted. Glad you like the ITG mate, with regards the screws i just used the ones which were connected to the sensor on the standard unit. I did buy 2nd hand too, so that is why they must be missing. Sorry about that.

Did you get pressed plates? Have you looked at resin plates instead? same effect but more of a clean gloss look, would suit your car well I reckon.

Car looks good, look forward to seein it with the new exhaust/valance

So been told I am going Bavaria for 6 months. The mods may go on hold but I am taking my car when I get chance i'll have a little play up in the mountains also hopefully get some good pictures.

So just a quick update, tfsi_mike squared me away and helped me fit my itg intake well I say helped I just watched and ate mcdonalds.

Mike didn't want screw these in but I was more than happy to get it on. Its on tight now haha

That looks beasty as **** mate!

 

[Buzz123]

I decided to take the number plate off as germany police are more relaxed, so its in the window

 

[Buzz123]

So just a few more snaps from today.
Just to keep you all interested.

 

[Buzz123]

So water started to get on my coil pack and have heard the stories so I have just cut my engine cover its a ruff cut for now, I'll mod at a later date got a few things up my sleeve.

 

[Buzz123]

So I thought I'd stop modding while away in Bavaria but I had nothing to do there and my car has been sat there a while.
So I decided to take my front grills off.
Ended up taking my bumper off as the middle grill bottom clips are a nightmare.
But got them off in the end and fitted my bumper back in no time.
Also would recommend taking your bumper off to get to the middle grill will save a lot of time at the start trying to pull at it and break it.
Gonna fix up my grills spray them glossy black and do the front lip matt black so it stands out more.

Also noticed how much dirty collects under there is unreal. Gonna maybe clean my front bumper out

Big ass crack :/

I will get pictures on as soon as I am done

 

[Buzz123]

Just another update bought my cupra r diffuser today and my getting my exhaust fitted tomorrow. Looking forward to it all coming together then go for the BCS exhuast system

So yesterday I got my car back as I have just got the cupra r exhuast back box fitted to my car.

And been busy today as I want my car to be black everything is getting wrapped matt black more a less. My car isn't clean but here what I go up to:

Gutted all the bits off the front of my car

First I have screw marks on the front so I filled them in

Theres no turning back now haha.
So I grabbed a big sheet of matt black and started patching it up

Nice and smooth

Also got the s badge off, Its a pain for such a small thing

I kinda liked this look without a badge in there at all just the outline

But decided to go matt black with the s badge
So all together

After filling the holes I started on my engine cover

Havent took and pictures of it filled but its just a smooth cover now

Still got a lot to do but hoping I will get chance being in Bavaria only working a few hours a day with awesome weather.

Let me know what you guys think

My engine cover is currently getting modified so I thought it would be a good idea to do the rest of my engine bay.
So I sent off for a black coolant cap from awesome-gti website.
And decided to spray my washer cap yesterday. Fitted it today before it started raining again.

 

[Buzz123]

Been doing touch ups today after it came sunny and the car is now clean
Also sprayed my lower grill glossy black. It looks a lot better.
