    powder coating or spray job?

    I think its all down to the company that applies the powdercoat. I have always powdercoated and never painted, painting just fades quicker, and chips easiler. With Powdercoating, it takes alot more abuse in the face of general road muk than paint can, as its a chemical coating that resists...

    new wheels unsure about offset

    The width of them are your biggest enemy. At that width, the car will be so high to fit, your look like a tractor, and to have it slammed you need massive spacers (40mmish) so your be illegal on the road, as your tyre tread will be on full show unless you have your arches rolled and pulled...

    Need help subwoofer !!!!

    Wires, or too much clipping on the amp, drop in voltage to the amp as its drawing too much, could be a host of things. But my money would be on wiring not up for the job. Make sure you have a good earth and good live. Then if that doesnt stop it, look to the head unit, it maybe pushing its...

    Where can i get these 1m headlights

    JE Design head lights, rocking horse sh*t those, found a few on ebay.de before, but never on UK websites.... I would stay clear thou, prone to bad fitting if made by JE design, the only headlamps I would buy would be a set of Hella, but they dont do a design for the Leon 1M.

    Platinum Grey Leon FR TDI Hybrid - The End!

    What you got to remember is, that other parts run heavier on the Cupra R, e.g. Two side intercoolers, different brakes, cast steering arms, thicker tie rods etc. So when you look at the book figures the whole weigh in doesnt show that big difference. But as we all know weight distribution is...

    Platinum Grey Leon FR TDI Hybrid - The End!

    Save up for a new turbo Maz, I feel after reading that link posted above, my suspicions are correct, the ECU will ask for too much boost from the turbo even at half throttle. Also talk of keeping the swirl and just refining it and only radiusing the entry ramp for the chamber should be enough...

    Anyone with a Forge LCR Intercooler kit, some help please?

    Thanks D.K. I think I might have a lookie at yours once I have near finalised the design, hopefully I should be able to build it from template making on my car with the bumper off, going to explore the route without crashbar modification, then a design with modification. Design are started...
