Collinite 476s wax was then applied

One of the things the MK2 ( and MK3 I think) is missing is gas bonnet struts so I've done this today.


Fitted



Colour coded



The SEAT touch up paint is quite "off" with the colour but hopefully it will get dirty and blend in



Just waiting on a gas strut now

Love this car Andy! Luke has done a real nice job on the paint too! I saw the pics on his FB page the other day.

Holy crap matey, very scary! What the hell happened to cause that?

Really glad to hear you got it sorted out though in the end! :)

[AndrewJB]

Nobody knows but Keith spent a few hours on Facebook Chat trying to offer troubleshooting and then APR dealer VRS Northampton sorted it for me.

So Yeh still very happy with APR :)

Like I said, really glad to hear your all sorted out and still happy. Would you recommend VRS Northampton then?

What happened Andrew? What were the symptoms? I am genuinely VERY interested.

[AndrewJB]

Basically I switched From 95 to 99 and then it flashed up ESP fault on screen,  then it wouldn't start..  Reset the battery and it would start..  Turn it off and it wouldn't start again.

Really not sure what caused it.

Very, very nice looking car!
The exterior look changes are subtle and they really suit the car. The wheels, brakes, splitter, tail lights, even the APR branding on the sides come togheter realy nicely.
About the performance mods I have one question: why did you only buy spings and not a complete coilover suspension?

[AndrewJB]

Because the springs were one of the very first things that I did, my insurance was modified insurance so I had to do it very quickly.

Gas struts installed








Managed to trap my hand in it already haha.


Car is going in soon for new rear brakes (OEM pads and discs) and a REVO ceramic intake

[b9rgo1234]

That looks so much better, I don't know why they were never fitted as standard. 
Did you make the kit up yourself?

[AndrewJB]

Nah a guy made me the plates, I bought the ball ends and strut
