You need to have a post count of about 15 I think before you can post pic's. Nice looking car tho mate glad you're happy with it

 

[a1exw1nter]

First mods done, de badged and new rear wiper fitted. Cuffed with the way it smarted up the rear,easy and cheap, best kind of mods IMO. P-FLOW Induction kit in the post, then tints and black roof.

Pondering painting the alloys black not sure yet though.

I think the tailgate looks a lot better debadged like that....think the wheels really suit it to

 

[a1exw1nter]

Yeah well cuffed, thinking about getting a new C U P R A badge. what sort of money should i expect to pay to get alloys powdercoated?

 

[adam cupra 20vt]

Its between 40-60 a wheel down this way.

Right then picked up some new gear, a clay bar from my mates Dave and James at north east detailing. www.nedetailing.co.uk

Had a day off, no better way to spend it than detailing the car. So broke out my cleaning gear. I know everyone has a different routine so any suggestions would help.

After a quick wash.

Clay bar over the whole car. Then AG polish.

 

[a1exw1nter]

Buffed up, tyre shine, and trim detailer.

Never clayed a car before, could not believe the amount of crud that came off even when i thought it was clean.

 

[a1exw1nter]

Got my P-Flow induction kit through, decided to paint some engine part covers too, was gonna go silver but decided on black gloss, pleased i did now its done.

Not sure what to do next. Comments welcome.

 

[adam cupra 20vt]

Polish or paint the inlet manifold

Replace the stock air feed with a decent one?

 

[a1exw1nter]

Was thinking bout polished. What sort of price and what sort of place does it? What sort of air feed do you reckon?

 

[adam cupra 20vt]

I'm not sure on price as I did mine myself.

If you look in the mk1 leon section Jamjay posted a link to some decent feed pipe today
