To be fair I've got a set of original hella all reds and the cls r tinted properly u can't really tell the difference.

£100 for the hella

£30 all in with tint spray for the cls n a bit of time.

I just like to waste money lol.

Oh n I also agree all reds on a white car over blues anytime!!!!

Still top work m8

Cheers mate....the blues were more of an impulse bargain buy but yeah reds on white is what I want. I think tinting a standard set of CL's is the way forward.

Got the body painted yesterday. Only could get one picture before my camera went dead but will get more in the next couple of days. Just got to do some wet sanding and polishing to get the best out of it but were getting there.

Yeah mate think so.....not really worth me selling it any time soon. Prob put the cupra up for sale once this is on the road. Time for a change anyway...had a good 5 years out of it.

Yeah thats when i thought I would get my money back but I almost certainly wont now but never mind. Its only money!! Although it kind of means its going to be used as a daily driver now but don't do that many miles just now!!

I did think about putting the cupra engine in it but to be honest i'm kinda bored with the 1.8t after having run one so long. Ideally I want to G60 it sometime but there still alot of cost in that....then there is the VR option  :cool: Want some raw old skool power if you know what I mean, the 1.8t is just to smooth lol.

Yeah well once its on the road it will have cost 2.5k, a grand over what I had initially saved for this project lol. I do reckon we have future classics on our hands as they are good cars, we just need to filter out and crush all the rot boxes lol.
