opinions on mods please!!

[Jazzy_Cupra]

Hi all

Thought i would post up some pics of car and get some ideas on mods that i should do to the car... any ideas would be appreciated

Ideas at the moment are;
Cupra R Kit
HIDs
Possibly lowering on the 19" alloys on if i can get away with it not rubbing.
Tints
Dump Valve
Carbon fibre under the bonnet
Re-map (Booked in for next weekend)

Any suggestions on what would be the best lowering springs to use to lower the car on my 19s I dont want to make it rub but would like the car to sit on the alloys nicely.

If anyone is confident with PHOTOSHOP could someone please show what the car would actually look like lowered.

thanks in advance

short shift is a nice cheap and excellent mod. the shorter the better.

Well were all entitled to our opinions... they were already on the car when i bought it so its not something *** gone out and invested 1k on.

hi Jazzy_Cupra sure i have seen this car in leek is this where u r as for mods mate i would just tint the windows lower it on coilovers and a new exhaust
which remap are u going for ?

 

[HarveyGTI]

personally i would advise on changing the alloys mate, exhaust and remap

CHeap effective mods, read Ruddmeisters Mk1 Leon suspension sticky

ARB kit, dogbone mount, shortshift as above, 312mm brake conversion, strut braces at the front and do something about the ride height

Personally I like the wheels.

 

[Cowie]

those wheels look massive

otherwise nice car mate,any amount of mods you can do,these forums are your worst enemy tho................for your bank balance

would do mate but cant drive at the mo!!! got my leg in plaster!!!! 12 weeks im outta action for!!! least im not knocking the mileage up on the LCR!!!

 

[RobM]

m0rk has the right idea... drop it! Those wheels look out of place as it stands and the car looks very jacked up. But lower it and everything changes. I still don't think the wheels suit the car, but it would look a lot better than it does now.

From there, I'd get the Cupra R body kit. The big wheels make the current styling look a bit weak, so the R kit should beef things up a bit.

thats what my old astra looked like when i put 19s on it , took them of a day later and sold them , dont like the wheels , but that is my opinion , probably put a cupra r kit on it , and lower it

 

[MarkE]

There just doesn't seem to be enough bodykit around the wheels at the moment. Sixpot's LCR looks superb on 19" rims so the answer, as others have said, seems to be to lower it. I'd also be looking at front / rear / side bodykit.

 

[Jazzy_Cupra]

can i get away with a 40mm drop on 19" rims?

 

[nick-barnes07]

would of thought 19s would of been to big , what size tyres are on them , and do they rub at the moment
