Ha, I was sort of writing that thinking there's no way it's you lol, think I remember that garage from the pictures and your username sort of gave the Cupra away lol

 

love them wheels.

 

not a fan of a white bug if I'm honest

 

You have transformed this in such a short time looks great.

 

This won't hang around for long

 

Looks perfect now. Very nice!

 

Sweet looking bug! Cant best a nice white bug...as to the DIY flap...can it be done on classics? If so where could a grt one from? You can fit mine aswel 😊 id pay you kindly aswel ££. Dont trust myself doing it...p.s i would love a white bug

 

There are a few on ebay. The classic flap is a different shape, itsore square at the front edge. Generally easier to find too

 

Iv seen one on ebay but its not got everything with it, its missing a metal bracket. Iv always wantes a white bug. Let me no when your selling

 

very nice bugeye this! top work

 

I would be forever reaching up and touching the flap in the pitch black if I fitted one

Good job though

 

Ever heard of *******?

 

Some visual changes coming.

Poss looling to swap the wheels too

 

Made a start on the mods,

New pair of fogs, some lamin x and burnt fingers

looking forward to this

 

Well seen as im off on paternity with the birth of my second child, i sent instructions to my minions at work

Boot smoothed and into primer



And bumper primed

looking fantastic, do you do the painting yourself?

 

Yeah but not as much as id like, i have to be front of house, estimates et so we have a body lad, valater and a full time painter and i mix it up between all three lol

 

Going back to top mount in this then? Is there a problem with the FMIC?

Looking good by the way.


Also, congrats on the sprog! I have 2 and no time to do anything now!

 

Yeah back to a tmic, purely as i want the fogs back on lol, very expensive way of doing it haha

Cheers, last day of paternity today,

 

LOL. You big tart!

 

First time I have noticed this thread, great looking blobeye big improvement from when you started!

 

I know, anything for style darling haha

I was getting to the stage of getting rid/fed up, so thought id have a change.

 

Fair enough. It's your car and you should make it just how you want it. You're not going to be running mega power anyhow are you so it shouldn't make a difference. May improve turbo lag.

 

Yeah its only a wrx so im under no illusion of its performance, its mapped mafless by andy carr, who will tweek the map, tbh the car doesnt need a fmic, id break the gearbox before straining the tmic with power hahahahs

 

looking good.

i have to ask the question.. why did you sell the STi?

As I bet what ever you sold it for.. all the money has gone on this. lol

 

Sold the sti as the mrs got made redundant 19weeks pregnant,

Could justify having 9k in a car when the house/family came first, i bought this as i knew the history, i tend to remove bits and sell them and they pay for the next mod,

Ie once the fmic and prodrive bumper are sold, changing wont have cost me,

I do how ever, miss the sti as it was a great example.

 

Is that a pic of the actual STI TMIC intercooler you intend to fit? Only ask as I'm pretty sure that's only a WRX intercooler. Not enough fins to be a newage STI intercooler.

 

No its a wrx intercooler bud, couldnt justfy spending an extra £100 on the cooler
