Few from this morning..

[RSteve]

Hi,

I've not posted pictures of my car up before, but I decided to take a few more amateur this morning . I do apologise about the size of the pictures, my camera phone is new and I didn't know the pictures would be this small when transfered :x,

I'll try to get larger pics up at some point, or if anybody is willing to resize them (I'm a sucker at photo editing).

If you can't squint hard enough to see, the car is lowered 40mm, has a 3/4 front plate, blue/clear indicators front and back. The splitter snapped a few weeks back and have one on order, and also sizing up a headlight correction too!

6 months into ownership now, and probably even more in love with the car than I was when purchased

Nice to see a cup with silver wheels.

Looks great.

Needs a cup splitter!

Needs a cup splitter!

"The splitter snapped a few weeks back and have one on order" lol

Looks nice mate, again, nice to see a cup still on silver wheels

 

[RSteve]

Thanks guys, and thats the way it will stay! I'm not at all interested in a wheel colour change, although a refurb and a silver respray could be on the cards.

I'll resize the pictures tonight, and get a couple more on if I can. The car did have a cup splitter when I got it however me being a pleb overshot a parking space and it snapped in half

 

[HartZ]

Looking great, what springs have you used?

 

[RSteve]

Apex sadly mate, although the ride is a bit rough in parts the stance is what I like. It's lucky I had these springs previously actually as I had a rear spring crack earlier this year!

Pics resized for easier viewing..

 

[Quid]

Love it!

 

[Matt W]

[YorkshireDaz]

Tidy!

Car MOT'd this morning. Failed on rear tyre blistered, both front tyres just below legal limit and also a front headlight bulb fitted upside down /)! Also exhaust leaking and rear brakes need replacing.
Front tyres are worn due to wheels not being aligned, so next week everythings been fixed plus having it tracked. Clutch was said heavy too which may also require replacing!

The alignment issue is probably the reason for a slight knocking noise when on full lock and also the car veering when punching the acc! Oh well

Car looks mint mate hope everything gets fixed ok want to see this up close we got to get a few of us sporters together and go for a blast

 

[RSteve]

Yeh mate I got 3 new tyres sorted on Monday and got the MOT passed. Discovered that the headlight clip had broken in the O/S front so gonna have to replace it! Gotta squeeze some cash out from somewhere to get the tracking done and still got my splitter to fit :approve:

Deffo mate I saw you'll be moving to sticky micky haha, it's literally 5 mins from where I live! I'm free every Saturday if you ever wanna go for a blast.

 

[bigrich690]

Sound bud will got something sorted soon, recount shouldn't cost a fortune but if your like me even 30-40 squids goes along way lol

 

[bigrich690]

Recount? That was meant to say tracking stupid I phone lol

 

[RSteve]

Update!
So finally got round to fitting the splitter, woke up this morning hanging out of my arse but forced myself to drive to a mates house to assist! Decided to remove the bumper for easier fitment rather than laying down..

Bumper off first

Filthy!

Who needs a workbench?

All done!

My friend Tom helps me with most of the stuff (he's the lad in the pics), here's his 260bhp weapon, and his dads new Ibiza behind (remapped --- he's also 46, young at heart!)

I've also removed the Cup badge from the pillars as just the word Cup wasn't doing it for me, and also ordered a new set of headlights as the clip has broke in one (plus they are were in dire need of a correction anyway)

Is he the kid that bought some huge ass Monaro calipers recently? If so, I know a few lads who know him.

 

[RSteve]

Yep, they're bloody massive.

 

[shanks]

car looks well matey

 

[Neesey]

hi Steve, when I got my car it is missing the splitter. after seeing your pics, i dont think i'll be fitting one myself. OMG i'll break my nails. and cry when the nose comes off. Flippin Heck!!!!

 

[Neesey]

Could you do it up on ramps? why did you take the bumper off?

 

[Quid]

That's it! I'm getting me a skoda splitter tomorrow.

Love the cup.

 

[Mork of Ork]
