yellow cupra k1, polish testing

[cuprajake]

He knows lol Facebook fwends 

Tbh no. Bar a scuff on the splitter and one wheel, 3k more on the clock it's exactly the same. Not as clean/waxed but that's not hard to sort

Tbh it's a lot better car than the golf. Mite sound silly but it really is. Feels a lot tighter chasiis etc

[big eck]

The Leon Cupra comes with better suspension components as standard than the golf afaik.

[cuprajake]

It does 

Just looking to see what I can do to improve haha.

Seen as I have about 500 to spend

So today my bumper arrived, I went for the facelift linea r

The bumper comes blank, so you have to cut the exhaust exit yourself.

Here it is all ready for paint,

Now when doing a yellow, I always put a pure white ground coat down for coverage, sorry forgot pic

Here's the bumper done

So with the bumper painted I got on the phone to David at sere, ordered the matching front grilles, and then splashed out on the main linea r front grille,

I plan on blacking the outer edge like so

But gloss black,

I've decided to keep the facelift tailgate and led lights and flog the k1 tailgate and lights, and spoiler. I've also got a genuine brand new k1 badge if any one wants that,

After that, probably nearly due a service and mot, and may just treat it to some coil packs.

Also does anyone know good exhaust people local to Rochdale who can work with stainless steel?

Get a bcs mate.

[cuprajake]

It's already got a piper cat back which Tbh is very nice.

It's a push fit system like a bcs so the tail pipe section would come off. Just can't justify the cost for changing the tip.

I wanted a bcs off the group buy but they were about 1-2 month wait

[cuprajake]

Got a bit more done this Aft,

My grilles came in from David at sere, top service

So split the linea r front grille


IMAG2923 by cuprajake1, on Flickr

Painted the surround gloss black, this is something I actually won't do for customers as I can't guarantee that it won't chip,

This is the grill complete

I'm going back to a chrome back badge too but so far can't find any facelift tailgate handles on ebay :(

I then turned my attention to the scuffed splitter and reprinted that

I also repaired the wheel that was caught,

After that I removed the rear bumper and fitted the new one, in the midst I cut off the twin pipes.

But it's different when they sent it ,

This is the wrong piece it's the manifold blank and he's sent a boost tap.

IMAG3092 by cuprajake1, on Flickr

Now I need to buy new hose, but also something to blank off the manifold,

I don't know wether to just sell it on or try n make it work now.

Jake

[Tfsi_Mike]

If I recall correct it does come like that but with a cap to seal the opening

[rich83]

That catch can is tiny.... best place for that is in the bin
