Went out around Manchester to find somewhere decent to take some pics, had the gf's nikon slr which i'm a complete amateur with!

Nice, I like it!

Shame the interior bits you posted have gone missing?!? Would love to have seen how that combo worked as I really need to do mine badly :(

Cheers!

Yer god knows what happened to them, I'll stick them back on tomorrow!

Added the pics back from cleaning the seats up!

Good turnaround with the seats mate, that combo dod work well!

your's looked as grubby as mine do right now! (bit embarrassed to admit that but hey!)

How easy is it to take out the seats?

Don't own a vax or the like so looks like I'll have to hire a rug dr from b&q so may as well do the floor!

Cheers! Yer it really does seem to.

From the colour of the seats and looking around the forum we're not alone!

It was really easy just 4 bolts on each of the fronts but you need the spline sockets , like a torx but more teeth! The rears just unbolt from the floor and pull them out of the slots on the upright part if that makes sense.

I think that it's definitely worth having the vax or similar, you need one which has a small upholstery brush which i'm not sure the big rug doctors have?

Ok seems straightforward enough!

May have to look Into a Vax type thingy then if the dr won't do. Probably work out cheaper in the long run anyhow!

Yeh it is once you have a look.

This is the vax i've got on the vax website Got it from makro on a deal for like £45 ages ago, to be honest i've never used it before my seats but definitely worth having!

I'll stick a pic up of the water after sucking it all up out the floor

cars looking ace! changes the look of the car so much! where did you get the paint from and has it lasted?

Nice work, and a massive transformation from the start. The wheels and the coilovers look really good on these!

Seats are so hard to keep clean !

Thanks! I got the paint from halfords, went for plastic primer, colour and laquer and left it it ages between coats, I've got one chip but do do 60 mile a day on the motorway.

It is a good combo, bit the norm though looking for something different now.

They are, I'm going to clean them again and protect them with 303 fabric guard this time.

Realised I haven't updated this in a while. Not done a lot mod wise since June, i was too busy enjoying all the shows and the ring! Just kept it serviced, clean and a few small bits. Exhausted my phone for pics to show what i've been up to!

New discs, pads, fluid and paint was in order.

Knackered old rear.

Shiny new one, I didn't take a pic after painting the caliper.

Front guard was looking a bit tatty so got the old hammerite out on that to.

Painted

Fronts changed and painted, I hate looking at rusty brakes!

Couple of pics from all dubs mega meet along side my old Cupra and a couple of classics.

Was one of the best meets/shows I've ever been to!

Got tempted by a couple of new stickers at the tatton park VW show.

Gas mask

New 2010 polo aerial

Pic with all fours off to clean arches, wheels and grease the coilovers ready for winter.

Plenty of copper grease

Whilst I did this my top mount fell apart so a bought two new ones, glad I took them off now.

Went for a blast around the ring with the Mrs in the summer, best holiday ever!! Only did one lap though

Winter pic

Sorry some of the pics aren't the best! Getting a bit bored of the comps now so on the look out for something new, hopefully before show season!

Want to sort out a few small bits, along side the interior needing another clean :( And need to get a new cambelt on it to!

My new set of wheels have come round quicker than expected. I couldn't resist having them when I got the opportunity so snapped them up asap!

Took quick pic after jet washing off and a wash at the local garage. Will get some better ones when I get a chance over the weekend.

Very very nice mate

Nice to see someone taking care of their car!

Thanks!

I do go bit ocd looking after it

Looking good Phil!

Will deffo get together over the next couple of weeks

Is it your mate in the port that now has the cupra?

Cheers!

Definitely should, hopefully the weather will start getting a bit better!

Yep Dave my mate now has it, it's still getting pampered. Do you see him about?

Love these wheels! suit the car really well :love:

Love the segins bud !! Looking real clean too

Yeah I've seen him a few times, still looks good

Did the aerial go straight on or did you need to change the base too?

Nope just the aerial, you have to trim a tiny bit of the bottom to get it to sit flush but that's it!

Sounds good

Looks good mate you get them refurb end yet

Wheels suit it down to the ground mate! good job
