ok ish looks a bit like slap dash dont go to blsck everything will look odd

 

[ROB IS THE STIG]

Only my opinion but not too keen on matt black wheels tbh.

 

[Martin_DSG]

I didn’t bother putting a lacquer on the wheels, think I should of.
ive seen a couple of nice 18's that I like, I’m just not keen on gloss, chrome, bling bling, chavalistic stuff.
Constructive criticism is welcome.

What about satin black like mine? there not glossy or laqured.

Did you get tailgate sorted mate?

 

[Martin_DSG]

yeah just straight matt black.
i used a tile lifter to pop 98% of it out so there are only two very small dents, that i should be able to get out myself. cheers for asking

 

[Martin_DSG]

P-Torque stage 1 remap complete.

Print out to follow.

 

[Martin_DSG]

[Martin_DSG]

[CupraR210.DJM]

Badge looks great. Nice one.

I'll go along with that. Looks very good and suits the car perfectly

 

[adam cupra 20vt]

Very nice, really suits it

 

[Martin_DSG]

[Martin_DSG]

well.....had my springs put on yesterday. got told today that they have broken a drive shaft!!

they didnt reconnect it properly, fair play they held thier hands up and are paying for everyting less the fitting of the springs. have to wait til next week to get it back

 

[moz4321]

like the car, the subtle red highlights are ace.
Sucks about the damage, at least they admitted it! I know of plenty of places that wouldn't
