mine is red, it does look awesome, got a few more things to do to the car, like get my bump strips painted, adjust the coilovers which looks easy but really isn't! and then fit my new number plates + surrounds. also got this lcr splitter, which i haven't a clue on how to fit it!

its easy rhys. Took me about 20min. You just need some self tapers and some maskin tape. You will have to take down the stumps in the middle. Not too much but just to the line.(thats what i did,). Line it up so its centre. Hold it up with maskin tape. Start screwing it up from the centre out. Will need to take down the sides on the wheel arch when its done.
Jacking up the car will make it easier i found.

 

[rhysox]

thanks mate, really appreciate that. will see how i get on

 

[rhysox]

also- dunno whether anyone is interested, but have a full set of ibiza cupra wheels + suspension for sale, thought i'd offer it here first

 

[mr_D]

[PhilW]

How much for the wheels?

 

[rhysox]

[PhilW]

[jivejester]

[PhilW]

Wow check out the crazy camber on the front!

Lookin good tho.

 

[davidol]

looking good but ditch the flaps! Dear god matts ordered brakes again, this could get messy! what happened to the last ones? AVCR fitted yet?

 

[rhysox]

yeh, i really need alignment done. but i think if i lower it more on the front- it'll sort the camber on the front anyway

 

[PhilW]

Lookin at it again, those mud flaps make it look like a 1.4 poverty spec.lol.


Check out mototec in Blackwood.

AVCR is going in this weekend hopefully. I think you might be suprised with these brakes.

 

[PhilW]
