Looks great Dale! Kudos, makes a very big change from all of the other stupid looking whistling ones that kick about everywhere!

Health to drive man!

LOL, cheers man...that was the plan, something different

 

[Gambit]

cupra bits certainly helps it. set of bigger wheels would just set it off. are the cupra alloys bigger than your current wheels?

 

[DaddyCC]

Luvvly jubbly indeed....

Needs a nice simple small swooping spoiler tho....

 

[brendy]

alloys are 17"s
Boot tip spoiler like the m5 etc would be nice and subtle.

 

[Graham2]

Looks really well man. Think the new bits highlight your need for a set of wheels to set the car off tho. And get the tyre slick out too

 

[miniator]

dont have any tyre slick in belfast!

cheers guys for the wee tips, hadnt thought of a M5 style spoiler but i also still like the simple smooth look of the boot atm...we shall see.

and yeah those are the cupra wheels in 17", looking for something more euro in the summer when theres more money...would prefer to get the smoothin done before the wheels however

 

[vastra]

[miniator]

cheers, where you just pullin off as i pulled into the garage in a lowered silver astra?

 

[Gobsheene]

[miniator]

a yes, was shopping. didnt see you...and i thought it was Niall or something like that lol!!

 

[Lyons]

No tyre slick in Cookstown Dale?!

 

[tdcizetec]

Seen this in town about a week ago. Very, very nice. I even stopped to look at it. Thats how a Toledo should be done

 

[MrDave]

B*****d im gonna have to do something different now get the smooth primered bumpstrips from Seat and dont mess around with spraying the ones on it,its not worth it. Dont put a spoiler on her either looks far less tacky without.

 

[Daisy]

Looking really really well miniator... Love them front bumpers and splitters...

 

[miniator]

No tyre slick in Cookstown Dale?!

dont you be smart ian....back to your pipe and slippers
of course i have tyre slick in cookstown, just not in belfast where the pics were taken.

cheers guys for all your comments, trying to go with something different and ive lots more plans for her.
oo and sorry MrDave (those are the side skirts we previously dicussed btw)

@tdciztec - where abouts was this, just curious?

 

[miniator]

getting the car ready for the MOT and after some people mentioned that the front splitter didnt look right, i think ive solved the problem.

i wasnt sure about it myself, and i think that was mostly because it didnt sit straight with the bumper....it sort of hung down lower in the middle.

so i tackled it with the coping saw and this is the result, i think it looks much better now...opinions!?

Old

New

its a very very subtle difference in those photos, much more noticeable in real life

 

[Daisy]

thats what i was about to say mate, must look a bit differenet in real life... but car looking really well...

 

[brendy]

bingo fella, it needs to be tight against that bumper, the lcr bumper takes the inserts without you having to cut them off.

 

[miniator]

lol cheers brendy...it was actually that pic of yours that made me change it in the end!

o i, before i forget. wheres your front towing eye at!!?

 

[Lyons]

dont you be smart ian....back to your pipe and slippers

Just read the whole thread, didnt realise the tyre slick gag had already been used .

I must say when you first put those wheels on your car i loved them, really different + suiting. But now with the kit they're crying out to be replaced with somethign bigger! To be honest id probably do them before smoothing, but its your car. Any inparticular styles in mind?

 

[brendy]

driverside mesh unclips and tow eye screws in.
