I'll look out for your FIL's yellow cupra then. I'm there Wed and Thurs for suspension and WMI :happy2:

Hes not there while next saturday mate. Im gutted in a way i cant believe hes having it done before me,
It might be a good thing tho as it might speed my progress up haha!
I hate going to garys (gazon69) i love his golf and power is awsome, we went up there earlier after statllers, the FIL was well impressed with garys golf!

Gaz's car is very fast, a lot of power going through that block.  :happy2:
Golf R gone.

Cheers for the comments!
Its an awsome car hurdy, every time i go in it i just cant stop laughing for some reason lol!
I would'nt mind an outing in steves porsche, now that thing is unreal, i might have to be cheeky and blag a ride haha. It was awsome at inters last year!

Anyway, whats peoples thoughts on tinted headlights/ taillights.
Im in two minds to whether its too chavvy or whether my car will pull it off on the headlights and look mean!
Ive just won a little comp and the prize is to have my lights tinted using the spi vision film stuff, suppose itell always come off if i dont like it and its for free  :grin:

Sammy You having that Power kit I've got or you still being Gay?
Nearly as quick as Rys for a quarter of the cost !  :party:

You're like a crack dealer! It starts with - "go on, get a stage 1 remap - all the cool kids are doing it"... :grin: :evilgrin:

Seriously though Sam, you'll love a tuned Cupra. What hardware and map are you going for?  :driver:

With regards to the tinted lights, I wouldn't do it - white K1 & Cupra's look perfect with just black wheels and perhaps some black badges.

Vinyl mike! Took me no longer than an hour to do both including removal and fitting and the best thing about it is it cost me a fiver! Got enough to do another set aswel with loads of white left over.
I try to avoid using paint as i find vinyl better in allot of ways although the finish will never be the same it still looks top

Looks lovely Sam - can definately recommend the upgrades. Friend has one but with a black roof and got it to REVO stage 2 and wow!! Sounds nice during normal driving but opening it up, again, just perfection. Parked next to my golf they look like a proper couple haha!

You won't regret it! Went out for a spin with mate today at lunch just to experience it all again. Smiles all the way. Fun was an understatement. The acceleration - wow. Sounds like she was an awesome owner so look forward to see the progress!  :smiley:  :driver:
DVLA and my private plate.......6 weeks and still waiting for confirmation to put onto the golf! :(

Bummer about the plate, I thought it was a quick and easy trip to the local office and then just a case of waiting for the new logbook to come through!

Yeh is is but they don't seem to be processing it nice and quickly. They say it can take 8 weeks but normally its done a lot quicker. I know a lot of people go to the dvla, do the paperwork and stick the reg on, but I'm doing by the book! It'll come eventually.

Inters - yes!!
