What did you and your MK2 do today?

i kept adding layer at a time until i felt happy with them dan :) the light comes through absolutely fine as you can see haha

it was easier for me to just leave them on the car, back it into the garage and mask up as i haven't yet set up a workbench or anything in the garage and didnt want to risk get any dust etc in them spraying them or the floor. when i've doen them in the past i've always removed them and masked up etc on a workbench and admittedly it was easier and less hassle

Why do people not remove the badge to paint? It's quicker to remove than it is to mask up around it......:confused:

I did the same and masked mine when I plasti-dipped the rear badge. Only took 5 mins to mask. Although I must admit I didnt even look at taking the badge off :)

My brother fly-eyed his rears which looked okay. You planning anything else for it?

i keep thinking about a light mist on the fronts but not sure yet, tbf i dont want to get caught up putting too much money into it as it's only a daily run around for me but maybe springs/coilys and 18's :think:

Tint film is what I used on mine. Bit of a pain to get right but looks good.

I'm in two minds with mine, whether to run it into the ground or get a new one. It changes on a daily basis haha

:cartman: i was just guna ask when is the new car coming?! i'll probably run mine to the death now just keep it all mechanically sound as any spare money will just go on the garage been re roofed and getting the driveway blocked too over the summer hopefully!
 
Today i had my vcds cable (clone) delivered and had a play around with it and i have now got rid of the annoying kmh on the mfd and changed it to mph and also turned off the seat belt warning as it's very annoying when i have been carrying things in the front seat and it sets it off all the time.

I also sorted out my mirrors closing with my remote and opening when i put the key in the ignition with a guide on this site about resetting the windows. :)
 
I've got a ore facelift PD140 so don't have a DPF anyway haha. Undecided on specifications yet, I'm going in to see them next week to discuss everything :) Costing a small fortune though!

I got it form ebay it was £41.99 but works amazingly just like my old non canbus cables i had it worked straight away as soon as i plugged it in :)

Not sure if i'm allowed to post a link as it is a clone cable.

Fair enough found some on ebay. If it's using the ross-tech vcds then be careful updating it because they block clones frequently.

I'm do want something new but just keep thinking I need to sensible and not get into debt. I know the Leon is fine and will go for many years but feel it's time for something big and automatic lol.

If I get my arse into gear and remove the mods it will probably push me to sell. MOT an service at the end of the month first though.
 
Cupra R gave everything to dyno. Little issues with heatsoak, pcv valve and spark plugs. Watercooling and denso ik24 plugs should give easily +400hp :lol:

Result was 394,6hp with apr stage 1+ map.
Check out "spoolin shirley" channel in youtube to see dyno run

I need to do "readers ride" topic but I will post this anyway

APR Stage 1+
Loba Motorsport HPFP
Volkswagen Racing Intake
Milltek non-resonated catback
Oem ngk spark plugs, Motul 300v oil only
Stock clutch, intercooler, downpipe, catalyst and turbo

No hard launches, roll racing is my choice.
Engine is in extremly good condition, with good service (2-5 times in one year, depending trackdays) and maintenance I have managed to get so good numbers.
I have picked up best parts available for tfsi engine and this forum gives so much info. Here in Finland we have "similar" weather conditions just like UK. So I have to give big thanks to you guys!

U can check out also "bensiinidivisioona" in instagram for little extra information, sorry for finnish "rally-english"[B)]
 
Had my exhaust installed , with careful planning i managed to get a 3" turbo back for £355

Ebay decat for £115
MIJ rear section with silencer £240

Bargain!
