Haha, I feel a little bad I didn't get any photos of anyone else's car, but was too busy chatting when I arrived, then everyone had left apart from Phil, after I'd had a wander round the lake with the misses

Very nice mate.

You don't happen to be knocking around the Irlam, Manchester area do you?

I keep seeing a very similar car near the roundabout for Awesome GTI

Thanks, must be someone else as I haven't been round there since I had my coilovers fitted about 2 years ago!

The upper side ones are standard Facelift FR ones you can get them from Dave @ SERE motors when he's back to usually in a few days:

They're quite expensive though. You could try your local dealer if you didn't want to wait as the part numbers are shown in that link.

I made the S one myself, there's a bit of a step by step of photos a few pages back

Had a weekend away with the misses near Chester, so it would have been rude not to have a play on some of North Wales finest roads

Horseshoe pass, I visited a few years ago, love the view but road is a bit busy and straight for too much excitement:

At the top:

Nant Y Garth Pass, a nice twisty little road through a river gorge:

Llyn Brenig Reservoir just off the B4501, which is part of the Evo triangle, didn't stop for any pictures on the actual road as I was having too much fun!

 

[FR_MATT]

Did some pikey arch flaring, came out pretty good, not 100% but I'll get it closer to perfect when I get chance to borrow the roller again from my mate:

Pre flaring lowering:

Even though I reduced it by about 5 turns I'd like the front a little lower, so I'll probably wind it down a touch more soon, I've got about 10mm of thread left so I'll just have to make sure the bump stops aren't causing an issue

Hi Matt,

Could you possibly tell me how you fixed your front splitter on please?

Much appreciated

Sam

 

[FR_MATT]

No more nails double sided foam tape, screws and insulation tape over the join.

 

[Samuel.perkins]

Right okay thanks mate

 

[Samuel.perkins]

Another question, what was the actually rubber you used? You said earlier on in your thread that you used garage door seal, you wouldn't happen to have a link or something to the actual stuff you used?

 

[FR_MATT]

No worries, if you search for frost king g9 they sell it on the US amazon site and its about £10 delivered to UK.

I took it off earlier today though as it was looking a bit tired, it has a bigger badder replacement though lol:

More pictures after the weekend

 

[FR_MATT]

This will be the last update here, I don't spend much time on here and don't get many comments, I'm continuing my threads on ED38 and Ibiza Owners Club if you want to find me I have the same user name

Anyway updates as promised...

Started off with some free stuff from winning photo of the month on another forum

Whipped of my front bumper and lights:

Ordered these neodymium magnets:

Ibiza bumper requires a little more planning in positioning them to the cars that I've seen in guides:

Left these gluing onto the rear of my plate:

Next job:

I also took off the flyeyes on my fogs that I put on to stop the yellow lamin-x pealing at the edges, they seemed to have stopped pealing so I didn't bother re doing them []

Reinstalled my HIDs, ballasts fits nice a snug under the reflector, I've had them here for 2 years with no trouble but never had the lights out to grab a picture:

Made a new pikey lip / chin / fake lows device, from some garden lawn edging this time haha:

Fitted:

Went down to Bristol for the weekend:

Plate managed to stay on for the journey and round the bumpy streets of Bristol and Bath, it's so nice just being about to whip it off for pictures. I'm not 100% on the lip yet, it's a lot stiffer than the rubber stuff so is harder to get smooth round the bumper, but will do for now

im always looking in at the updates just never bothered to comment.
lm not normally a fan of red but i like how your car looks not so sure about the new valance though.

[BeezaDave]

I always keep an eye on this thread aswell

Magnets are a great idea. Are they very strong?

 

[BeezaDave]

Oh and where did you buy the epoxy resin from for your honeycomb grill? Can't find it anywhere!

They are rather difficult to remove when stuck together lol I chose them as the seemed to have a decent pull and were nice and thin so my plate wouldn't stick out.

I think it was from B&Q

 

[BeezaDave]

Great idea, I'll have to steal it from you haha.

Thanks for the info

Keep the updates coming
