I then had the wheels Shotblasted and powdercoated in a anthracite grey.

After playing about with ideas I finally decided i wanted some led footwell lights, i bought some waterproof strip off ebay and stuck them to the under of the dashboard, i fed some small bell wire up the back of the dash and up the A pillar and to the interior light, i soldered it onto the back of one of the reading lights so that the LED's come on when the door is opened but i can also turn them on when i want by pressing the button.

The next modification was the Xenon projector headlights by DEPO, Make such a difference to the looks of the car and to the actual nightime road use, Recommended upgrade all day. well worth the money.

Subscribed, loving the mods done.

After sourcing a Seat Cupra splitter this was the next thing to be fitted. Again makes such a difference to the aesthetics of the car. Also had the grille surround colour coded.

The next modifactions was the TSR towstrap, again its something i like even thought not many people are keen. went with the usual yellow tint on the fog lights as i think it goes well with the race blue.

Thought about a remap?

Thought about a remap?

It's definitely on the list, got to sort a few leaks out first, the turbo outlet pipe is leaking as the lugs have snapped off, wanting to get some silicone hoses but not sure where to go for them

Might as well get a FMIC at the same time ;)

Was thinking that pal, if i was to do that i'd like to go down the route of a hard pipe kit, may have to wait till the new year though with christmas draining all my funds  :sweat:

Santa bought me some H&R -30mm lowering spring from christmas, went on easy enough with new drop links and top mounts, rides awesome nice and comfy but handles really well

I then decided i wanted to mess about with the looks of the engine, so bought some blue vac pipes for the back.

Ive bought a ASZ EGR delete kit to get rid of the nasty BLT hesitation and the rubbish OEM pipework clips, ill be keeping the standard intercooler and using these precision cut alloy couplers that are also used by darkside, alot better fitment and no leaks, im still yet to fit these. Ill also be changing all the top hoses to silicone with a alloy 45 degree top pipe.

Hi, what did you use to tint them?

Looking perfect, nicely understated with some great moody photography. Good work!

Looking forward to the engine mods..

Remove tow strap. Looks ricey

And change headlight indicator bulbs for osram diadems (gets rid of fried egg look)

Other than that good progress

  • Author

Cheers guys, will eventually get round to changing the indicator bulbs to clear ones! Hoping to have the hoses and EGR delete on in a couple of weeks, then it will be in for the remap to remove the EML Light that's brought on by the EGR removal and a bit extra power :)

Hi, it was just some light smoke headlight film off eBay
