Hey guys, joined up on here, I am normally found over on Seatcupra.net, but I like this forum a lot. Great information and tips and how to guides. Great cars in here as well. Keep up the good work.
Anyway, just thought I would share some pics of my car. 2007 Leon Cupra Crono Yellow, mods so far are only a Bluefin Stg 1 remap, uprated revision D OEM Diverter Valve, EVOMS V-Flow Intake and a few wee stickers and other subtle modification. Next up is the BSH Catch Can.

Comments and criticism welcome :smiley:

Very nice mate.. Always liked the Cupra and I see you've gone for the skirts and spoiler to finish it off and a definate essential in my eyes.. Only thing I would opt for is the gloss black rims which I think will finish it perfectly. But that's just my opinion.. :wink:
Welcome to the forum anyway.. :happy2:
-
Cheers mate, I like you user name Vtec_Abuser lol. I am going to change the rear window sticker on mine to 'wake me up when your vtec kicks in'.
Yes, I am saving up for a set of KW Variant 3's and a set of 19 inch BBS CH's finished in gloss black should look the part when they are done. (Going to wait till after th winter for these lol)
-
Ha, don't blame ya mate and will look proper lush on CH's. The username has been with me for about 8 years, since my CTR days.. :grin:

....
A Very Warm Welcome to this forum, Davey! :drinking:
I've recently registered on SCN - Your cars are cousins to ours here.
What I like about the Cupra's is that they don't look like any other car and yet they don't look weird like some Frenchie's do. I don't normally like yellow cars except Lambo's but somehow you get away with it.
Black wheels on any yellow car? - Not for me.
I love those black wolfie stickers under your side indicators - What's the story?
Just seen your latest post - I got KW-V3's and can highly recommend them.
-
Looking good mate. Did you go for a down pipe after?
-
REDROBIN,
I may do a photoshop with the black rims now you have got me thinking lol :scared:
The stickers under the indicators are now gone (jetwash lifted one of them :fighting:) they were Transformer logos (Decepticons) the bad guys from the movie. Put them on for a laugh, only £3.50 for the pair inc postage from ebay.
Carrg,
Hi mate fancy meeting you here lol. No I didnt purchase that cheap downpipe after all, after taking advice from here and SCN I will save up a bit more cash and go for the milltek downpipe and sports cat at some stage.

Lol. Good crowd here full of knowledge. Makes you spend ££ tho!!
Good choice on the dp i think. Keep your eyes peeled for a second hand Milly. I did have one for sale a while back, fellow SCN member bought it but now he's selling the car minus the dp! Could ask him?
-
Carrg,
Please do mate I would definatley be interested :party:

...................So very true :happy2:

Wolfie stickers Robin? Nearly pissed my pants at that one. :grin: But then i am an 80s kid, so knew what they were.
Looks like a very well sorted Cupra. Huge fan of them myself, just wish SEAT made a 3dr Variant and i would have bought one instead of the GTI!!
-
Lovely colour that :happy2:
Trademark colour IMHO for the Cupra's.
Welcome aboard and remember....the more you spend the more we like it :laugh:
-

Love the xenons mate. Very rare. I think it too would look awesome on black rims
-
nice mate, black rims as said, bumble bee!!! lol. lose the model though :signLOL:
-
lookin cool mate.. is that an aftermarket valve cover?
-
Hey H8T WP, nice to see you over here. Your car is looking great and making real good power :congrats:
I made the cover myself out of a sheet of 3mm thick acrylic. Just cut it with a hand saw into the shape I have now and got a red CUPRA sticker made for it. The sheet is less than 6 quid posted and all. So with the sticker and cable ties around 9 quid all in lol.
Got it off ebay (see link below) get it bought mate and do the same for you car :signLOL:

-
Sounds good .. might give it a go myself :) unless you have the template still hehe
-
Hehe, no unfortunatley I think it went into the bin with the off cuts of the acrylic :sad1:
But, do like I did and use a piece of cardboard, start it off the same size as the A3 sheet of acrylic and then cut it down and shape it to suit the size you will need, then use a marker pen to trace the shape onto your acrylic and cut to size. Drill holes in the corners of the sheet for putting jubilee clips, cable ties etc through to hold on the spark plug cover and hey presto.

Yup no worries, guna get some white acrylic to match car ;)
Was going to use the bolts where an intake heat sheild would go and make a metal bracket to hold it on... so it basically hovers a few mm and doesnt touch anything if you get me...
-
Yes sounds good mate, please take some photos of this bracket you are making so that I may make the same for my cover, the cable ties look a bit cheap :booty:

So i have the black of that showing through with the white round it..
who knows.. ill get my frosties box out later lol
