Looking real good mate, liking the progress a lot..
Sorry to go back in time, but when you fitted your side skirts did you have a guide or anything to go by for dimensions of where to rivet the clips? I am having some lcr skirts sprayed at the moment and will be fitting them shortly but just wondered on where to place the clips. thanks.

Yeah but they all look the same i suppose!
Nice to see the coilies have arrived, quite bouncy at time but I find but they ride smoothest with a full tank on board mate. These should set everything off
hia mate I cant remember exactly the spacings for the clips on the skirts, but I used a guide someone put on here, I think there is a clip right in the middle and every other clip is 300mm centers off the center, the two end clips are 350mm centers from the others (I think) best thing to do is messure the center of the mounting points on the skirt itself to make sure hope that's clear. the part that I know is correct is the hight of the clips on the sill if you look at the clips they have a step in them with a definitive line that line sits 4mm below the line on the sill where the texture of the paint changes (the bobbly stuff) apart from that I used 4mm rivits to fix the clips. (warning) be careful when drilling the sills I snaped a bit and ran the rest of the drill bit up my passenger door !!! as luck would have it the car was wrapped and it took the brunt without damaging the paint take ya time.
thanks I got a £1500 quote as well that's why I went diy for about £300 quids worth of wrap and my times free. its daunting but is really easy to do if I had the use of a clean room it would have been 100% and still on the car the trick is as with paint _ super super clean everything. oh and be an octopus
right my mates just set up his new business and got his booth and paint shop all set up and I was on it like a tramp on chips
tomorrow - coilovers on
in progress - front grill with the ''s'' badge carbon wrap remove and painted gloss black with some seat emotion red accents between the lines of the ''s''
coming up - roof, B pillers, grills in front bumper, mirror caps all gloss black.
coming up - all rub strips on bumpers and doors and skirts colour coded
coming up - new spoiler in matching gloss black, ecs centering plates, exhaust, remap,
en route - red silicone tip
very soon - full sand and polish then buffed within an inch of its life
oh and I need a new tax disc holder
im toying with the idea of him mixing in a little of the original paint colour into the clear coat over the gloss black almost as a pearl??????? thoughts!!!!

sorry mate wasn't sure to answer your question no the entire car was factory standard it came with the chrome ''s'' black slats and the chrome surround. the one that's on now is the standard cupra r one that came with the r bumper that I painted with rattle cans however its now in my mates bodyshop getting some special treatment.
it started of standard took it to bits wrapped the big s in carbon wrap, masked off the surround, primed painted in emotion red removed masking tape re built it and whacked it back on the car looked like this
it was ok for a bit but something was bugging me about it so swapped the wrap for brushed aluminium and it went to this
and then still wasn't happy with it there was something not sitting right and so I took it all back to standard and painted the plastic bars between the s red but left the outer part black so it looked like this
when I got the cupra r bumper I did it exactly the same because in my opinion it looks loads better with less red its not so in ya face and don't look like Rudolf the all was to do was to wrap the outer chrome surround in carbon to match and boom
funny thing is the whole part is again off at present in my pals body shop being redone but for that you will have to wait and see!!! but lets just say that all the carbon wrap on the car is going! I hope that helps you out
