Cheers, little update, haven't got very far been at college all the time since Monday

couple of pics though, still on wheel No 2

You can see the second one behind

Tips? don't really know, Lots of patience and 80 grit aper to remove paint and powercoat then 280 grit wet and dry to smooth it off, 600 and 1200 grit wet round the edge to polish. Mine are quite badly curbed from before i had them Sad

Problems
- takes forever sanding by hand
- curbing was deep so won't get perfect edge
- getting paint off round the text was a nightmare

Can't think of anything else,

Thanks for looking!

Looking good fella. Another Cupra R splitter. LOL. They are so common now but look so good. Exhaust suits it as well. What kind of sound is it? Loving the refurb on the 205 wheels but personally I don't think the suit the 206. What stickers you got or do we have to wait to see?

Cheers!!

Yeah, Cupra is way common but there are hardly any at my college so i'll be original there Very Happy

Exhaust is well nice, nice burble on idle, crackles as it comes back down from revving it. overall not too loud, just nice.

The 205 wheels grow on you, one day might change them, never know

Nothing really special, but yeah wait and see Very Happy

My mate has a vinyl cutter so i can get anything i want cut :D. Still got a couple stickers from antix to put somewhere

you will get some serious heat soak in the filter if you place it there. Which as you may know will reduce power, try moving it away by putting the alloy tubes back on
