My Leon Cupra - Custom Front Splitter

Excellent, thank you very much pal, i do try, ha ha.

forgot to mention that iv now got 8k HIDs fitted, but i guess that everyone knows what HIDs look like by now

Am also going to tint my windows this coming weekend, iv gone for the second darkest tint, didnt fancy limo.

that will look crazy good when thats done mate! i've got mine tinted one up from limo at the back and then medium at the front, but it blends quite nice!

This car looks rude i almost want to copy you somewhat theres nothing like a wasted whore

LOL, ha ha ha ha.

Im bored of my dirty, rusty looking calipers, So decided that they are going this colour, paints already ordered. heres a few pics.

this cars gettin better by the day dude

thanks alot pal, trying to get most of what i want done before the meet at the end of the month,

Still to be done is:

Window tints
Tinted Number Plates
New R32 Steering Wheel, Dont think im going to get this until my birthday though :(
Paint Calipers
And i might try carbon vinyl or white vinyl on the alloy centre caps.

Found out yesterday that im gonna need tint spray to tint the number plates and not tinting film, lol. Thats one job that can be put off, will still hopefully be having a bash at tinting the windows and painting the calipers this friday though.

Finally took the time on friday to paint my front calipers, really happy with them, will be doing the rear ones this weekend.

Also found out that i have a split rubber, not too sure what it is though.

Ill have better pics tomo maybe, but heres a few to get the idea.

And waxed the wheels aswell


And the split rubber, i noticed this when removing the passenger side front wheel.

thats your inner driveshaft gator dude. Calipers looks schweet, maybe do the seat logos in it too?

A split rubber is never good dude

Why? I have done all mine with tinting film but i think spray would make a nicer looking job but you cant just peel it off when you get moaned at.

Thanks mate, yeah that could be an idea.

Ha Ha i knew someone was going to say that. lol.

Really mate, i gave it a go through the week and found that because of the pressed plates it caused bubbles, then i melted the film when tryin the remove them.

i duck tape mine for a mot, there a pain in the a55 to change cus u have got to take the drive shaft out

not sure what the set up is on anything else other than mk4 golfs and saxos seemed easy enough just a case of taking odd the driveshaft nut and the three bolts on the wishbone that hold the strut in and finally the 6 or 8 bolts on the output flange iirc.

and lots of wd40

Looks really nice with the coloured calipers Nef!
Keep the badges silver or black though. Too much of that colour might make it look garish. It looks nice and 'scene-subtle' at the moment. Spot on if you ask me!

Its coming together really nicely.
Very impressed.

I think im quite liking the idea of duck tape to be honest, or just pay a garage to do it.

Thanks Stampers, Yeah i think ill just keep the paint for engine bay and calipers.

Thanks again bud.

inner cv boot split is not an mot fail. the outers fail as its a risk of grease on break disc. but the joint will fook up if ya dont do it which will cost a lot more than doing the boot. nice car dude

No worries man!

Just a quicky, what paint did you use to paint the calipers?
As i'm guessing its the high temp paint due to the heat under braking. I've just never seen it in a crazy colour like that. Usually see the typical Red/Blue/Green/Yellow bog standard crap from Halfords.

I wanna do mine in shocking pink, but thats gonna be a pain in the arse to find...
