perfect ride height ! lovely car mate the rear looks great with the spacers on my next purchase i think .....

 

[EL]

Know what you mean. Took me ages to get mine!!

Start waving goodbye to your cash as this car will definately be draining a few dollars. Then we can all say you are officially part of the family.....

Your waiting to see how good santa is to you so?? .same as me.How much was your insurance?

 

[EL]

...something like that mate. First years insurance was just under £1,400 which was really good considering the rediculous qoutes I was getting. 21, without any no claims and insurance on a group 17 car on my name - not bad me thinks. Insurance is up for renewal next month, shall see what the damage is!!

So whats next with your car then mate?

Nice one mate! Your LCR looks really good.

nice one bud, have to say V3s are a good choice, they transformed the car...anyway, how you finding the BMC? i have one also but after having it for a while now you can feel its still a bit restrictive. if i was going stage 2 or higher i would get shot of it and get an green open cone filter..

btw i wanted a black R too but they are sooo hard to keep clean

There was H&R's on it when I bought it but I decided to get the V3's.Since I fitted them there is no comparision between them.KW are a far better build.Ya I find the BMC v restrictive alright,going to change it to a powerflow open cone or else a JABBASPORT open cone.What type are you thinking of getting?black is hard to keep clean but stone-chips are the biggest problem.I'm ashamed to say aswell that it hasn't been washed in 2 months,havnt got the time.Must get around to detailing it for the winter.I have a few pic's from the last time I did it,I'll post them up later.

 

[DOLBY]

im looking at the powerflow or jabba also...(good choices)...but at the mo im in no rush to go big power, the thing with SEAT back is they use white primer so you can see the chips miles away...that put me off.

good thing bout my colour is i can go all winter without washing and it still dont look no different...but on the flipside- when its clean it doesnt look drastically different either haha..

 

[cupra_r_04]

Here are a few pic's of my R after a bit of detailing a few months back.I hope to get it all done again before the winter set's in.Any tips on what is best to use for the winter are all welcome.Cheer's

[EL]

Nice bit of detailing you have done there mate. I know how much of a pain it is to get a black car gleeming, my bro has a black S3.............. Still he helps me do nearly every mod on my car so it's all good

 

[tedvagas]

Nice 1 mate,Do you have your's lowered much?

Sorry ive not reply'd

yeah i just fitted weitec gt coilovers so its down about 20m more than standard , i had it lower but the rear wheel starts to move forward to much so after lots of tweaking i got i right for my style ive being busy changing all the bushes ,topmounts trackrods etc after that i will do the spacers
