Forum meet Trophy - jimbobcook's MK2 Cupra R

[Jimbobcook]

Evening,

Got me a new Leon today, not bad nick (not sure on the full paint name for this red) but hopefully I'll be able to pull it round before the forum meet in January - https://forums.seatcupra.net/index.php?threads/xmas-2018-meet-blackpool-anybody-young-or-old.447348/

Still got my speed blue Cupra R but thought I'd get this one ready as it's got alot of potential going forward, hopefully it's next owner keeps it as well as I will.

First off the list of things I'd like to do before Jan...

- Respray the car speed blue to match my current R
- respray the wheels gloss black
- full detail (polish, wax etc)
- try and find a TRC front splitter
- wrap bottom front bumper lip
- SEATCupra.net stickers

Open to ideas

As I said before this is purely for the meet in January then the car goes to someone else who I hope will love it as much as me.

I'll try and keep this updated with progress and pictures.

Here she is as I bought her... She's got a little cosmetic damage but a re spray will fix that.

No no no no no to the Speed Blue

It needs to stay Red... Desire Red to be honest as I’m likely going to be her next owner. I agree with your other mods but don’t overdo the stickers

 

[Maypack]

This is what you really need.

My T'Shirt will be best and i think we have more white cars than these blues or red.

 

[Sharpy]

You need to send that to me... it’s basically my car (well less the cupra badge.)

Just go easy with the polish, be easy to get a strike through... and the hose might wash it down the drain, maybe put a brick on it to keep it in place.

All you haters lol

If I had wrap I'd do that but it's in for a respray next week lol

Blue is the way forward lol we can get the MK3 Leon when it's readily available as a cupra...

@Maypack I won't be spending £65 for something I can respray myself for £4 when my car only cost me £6... I'm not made of money unfortunately lol wheres the fun in having one already done haha you don't think I'll do a good job?

I ideally wanted a MK1 Leon but couldn't find a bargain on Auto Trader.

Be there or be square.

Drop me into to it. Currently it looks okay, it depends on the good ladies work over Christmas.

OK quick update...

I'm not sure what all these mechanics are saying about taking hours to do simple tasks on cars...

I've just stripped this beauty in 5 minutes and didn't scuff anything!

All ready for paint stripping and then prime and base coat before adding speed blue layer.

I'd love some bigger wheels but it's proving difficult to know the right size lol

I need a rolling road to see what power its kicking out... It may already be mapped...

@Sharpy just to be clear this is not just about turning up to the meet its about your t'shirt.

Clean Example below (and yes its rubbish but cant show you what I will wear on the day)

It takes me longer to get a car on the ramp at work mind you I do have to back it in round a corner just to get it on the ramp lol mine takes even longer still have to remove all four jacking points covers before even getting the legs under the car lol
Great job jimbobcook

 

[Jimbobcook]

Well the front splitter came today...

Just mocked it up as I don't want to fit until the body is done.

Before

After

Little bit of sanding to do but she will get there.

 

[Jimbobcook]

Fitted the silver handles and handbrake and slid in my gloss black backed seats.
