Keep the Ultraleggeras, they are a great looking wheel and you got them in the best colour. Will look much better once dropped!

will do mandy,ill keep an eye out for some arbs and adjustable ball joints for when i fit the bilsteins and do it in 1 hit

[toosmiles]

Looking good fella!

I know matey, yeah it's looking good, I will reserve judgement on the wheels until I see the finished article!

Gorgeous car! Nice little read to! Love the subtle little changes and agree once dropped those oz's will look the part!

cheers pal
just sourcing some more chassis mods before the bilsteins go on and got a cracking deal on some nearly new boxed H&R arbs

Finally got my other bargain ready to be fitted today

powder coat version but sent it off to a company in warrington to be cam coated in there turboX ceramic coating
standard pipe

new pipe coated


now off to the removal of the ITG enclosed intake(excuse the dirty engine bay)


all out and pretty straight forward,just the jubille clip onto the throttle body was twisted the wrong way around lol

onto the removal of the engine cover plinths,10 mm bolt underneath then a pair of mole grips to twist off the top ready for a garage midnight heat shield


onto the revo installation,back to the awkward jubilee clip again lol,this time with my bendy screw driver bits dead easy lol



finished result took about 1.5 hours



First impressions are very good,only driven it about 5 miles and can tell the throttle is more responsive straight away,pulls very well to the red line,now with selling the itg already the whole set up only cost me my time and £25,well happy

Awesome work mate! I love the noise's my Revo CAI make 

[Dave J]

Fantastic Car - do love the mk6R!
Quick question - why did you swap from the ITG to Revo? I know intakes are always are a matter of taste - was the ITG too loud?

hey dave,
the itg was very quiet tbh and ran a revo cai on my cupra with great results,felt a bit of difference straight away

[toosmiles]

Passed its mot today with no adviseries
so just waiting for some bits to come in the post now and got a good friend that will give me some garage time,tools n all to get some jobs done

[toosmiles]

Well guys ive got the CTS copy pipes i ordered from china 100 posted and no import tax and came pretty quickly




really pleased with them tbf,silicone is quite firm with decent clips and the pipes are pretty solid,i suppose its all down to the ftting now
cheers

[toosmiles]

well guys,
ive had second thoughts of having these 2 pipes cam coating as its gonna cost £80 so i thought id wrap them in some heat reflective tape
the small pipe was a biatch to do so doesnt look to good but you wont see it anyhow lol


i did add some finishing touches later to tidy it up a bit,large pipe next which was dead easy hehe




hopefully should help a little to keep the temps down

Not sure how effective it really is but every little helps, eh 

Looking forward to hearing of you notice much difference when fitted :)

i know m8,a tiny bit will help lol
tbh when i fitted the cts pipes on the cupra there really wasnt that much difference so with these being cheap its worth a punt
