The Nerd Strikes Back

[Raain]

filterbox has been removed allready since i've got the induction kit so :P
Must say, having driven around 1000km with my exhaust and induction kit, the car is sounding beast!

[chiefnerd]

Yeah, it'll sound great with the induction kit on and amazing how much more room you get!!!! I'm waiting til mine is next on the Dyno so they can do a run without the airbox manifold attached to see if there's any power gain or not, if there's any gain then the induction goes on. ALthough I'm tempted to put one on because of the amount room freed up.

Pick up decal this morning, hopefully matched touch up will also come then plastidip surround, plate area and mirrors and sort out the stone chips on my bumper and bonnet and lacquer them.

[chiefnerd]

It's on, looks awesome but the photo is naff lol

[chiefnerd]

Right, so following the carbon fibre grill wrap I had done I've now matt black plastidipped the mirror caps and front grill surround area:

before:



After the vinyl stripes and carbon grill wrap:



And then the plasti dipped mirrors and grill surround area:







Now to find a new grill I like...Zunsport now do their chicken wire thing in black...ponder ponder

Looks smart with that Carbon on the chevrons. I'd say do it!

Would look nice with that front lip in carbon too as the rubber looks off-colour to the rest of it.

[PlymTom]

Looks really nice. Fog Surrounds going matt black?

[cyclone]

I'm liking it, think you should go for it on the mesh in black. Looking mean!

[chiefnerd]

Nah, I'm keeping bits of the chrome, I just thought there was bit too much so the fogs stay as do the dohickies down the side.

Fish- you meet the flexible skirt thing under the bumper? If so then it's too flexible to wrap but would look nice though.

[chiefnerd]

Cyclone- that was the one I had my eye on although I'm still not a fan of the chicken wire zunsport they do

[chiefnerd]

Need to hide my cards- just ordered the black grill, another 100 quid lol

[chiefnerd]

Decals back off and cleaned it properly to get rid of the all the chalk and crap off the rally. Also going in for a full body polish first week in October. New Powder coated black grill comes wednesday I think:

Aye. The Cupra splitter is a hard plastic iirc. Might be easier to wrap that..

[chiefnerd]

Yeah, if it's solid it should be easy- got a pic of one? It depends on the curves apparently which is why they couldn't do my mirrors carbon
