Well the other two wheels turned up, so i cleaned them and sealed the backs,
Also fitted the brembo stickers
*
Here they are on
*
The rear camber needs to come out as the backs set at over -2degrees for the old wheels.
Other new had andrew carr over for a tweek, the car is now mapped mafless, this has transformed the car.
Youll notice the original plate, £12 for two plates for one days driving. Lol my plate goes on tomorrow.
Im finally getting somewhat like with the car now

Funny enough. That is almost exactly how my car would have looked before I started to cut it up.

Did you by chance use to have a pre facelift Leon Cupra? I think I recal a thread on seatcupra.net were you got the facelift boot lid and the LED lights, one of them was damaged, you got it for a Bargin and fixed it?
Am I thinking of the right person? Lol
