Wheels look much better in black, whats happening with the ride height in the front wheel though. Looks like you could put a melon under there

Yeah. It reminds me of one of Snoop's cars........

At least it's comfortable

A bit of incentive for your project

A better representation of the colour and ride height

After a day behind the wheel, I am pleased to report that the car drives really well. Strong (for 180hp) smooth and cracking handling.
Thanks for the link Mike. That Super Copa kit is really nice.

Donny is being checked at the moment. I should know within 48 hours

Further plans include RMD seats

like Mike's old ones, a better exhaust as this one sounds like an electric car after the NUR spec'd Impreza and maybe a remap. I say maybe because it just drives so nicely.......I really am reluctant to open a can of worms that makes things worse before I have to spend more to make it better.

It will need new tyres quite soon but I'm not sure what to get. It's fitted with Marangoni Zeta Linea's at the moment and I cannot get my head around how much grip the generate.

The tread pattern suggests that they should be pretty good but I am amazed. Wet or dry they have really impressed me. A bit noisy on the road but then that is probably just because the car is near silent when off boost.

im on the verge of buying a car so i can 'do donny'

good to see that plans are a foot for the cupra

To be honest Trev, it doesn't take much for you to buy a car for any reason

My main plan for the car is to drive the bloody thing and enjoy doing so. It is such a capable car, maybe I'll be better off investing in some seat time and driver coaching (long overdue) before I start spunking on mods?
Keep me posted on developments mate
