Nice one guys shes getting there need a cupra splitter and as piggy said masked lights but there so expensive for these going to look out for a set or attempt to mask a second hand set so I dont damage these. The mirrors are anthracite as standard piggy but think im going to respray them along with handles slightly darker as wheels have been refurbed darker.
I love the back end Niall only thing I need is aftermarket tips when I do backbox chop and a r26r spoiler to finish it off. And then maybe a light tint on windows.
Thanks for comments guys
Heres the rear and interior...

So this is booked in for backbox chop tomorrow, not too sure what outcome will be like sound wise and or if it will affect power.
But we have identified the vnt as the route of my intermittent power issue so once ive soaked the turbo bolts for exhaust elbow and manage to get the fucker off I can dose with mr muscle and get full boost from low down again

Well managed to get egt probe out on my Megane Renaultsport DCI heres a few pics how I dosed turbo with mr muscle.
What a difference although think it could do with this process again
Took EGT probe out of turbo 14mm on this unit
Then with silicone hose and another cap to take the hose filled turbo with mr muscle
Then started up to clear EGT port put back in and took for a blast
Huge plume of sut and we have boost in revs never had before lol
Pickup is sooo much better no more lag low down in the revs and sounds soo much better
Just dropped at exhaust place to get backbox chopped off also

This to clean up sticking vanes in the turbo?
Nice work
If you can move the actuator lever freely now then it may not need doing again
I know you're more man than most on here, but gloves might be an idea, you don't want that shit on your skin, burns pretty deeply!

Yeah to clean the vnt part bud, seems to have freed it up but after speakin to JP he said a full can I only used so much but can easily dose again this week maybe tonight if not raining
My hands are used to it worked on drains for years using costic and acids so bit of oven cleaner wont hurt but your right if anyone attemps this please use gloves of somesort
The lever is still stickin ever so slightly after it but has a lot more movement so another dose should be total clean

Lol I knew you'd be impervious to caustic soda!
Its not so much about how much you use, it foams up pretty good and will just end up going down your exhaust if theres any excess.
I reckon realistically you could get 3 turbo cleans out of a can
But you really need to wiggle the actuator lever a few times whilst its work so it moves the vanes and gets the cleaning stuff everywhere it needs to be, and of course the longer you can leave it to work the better.

Very true pal its hard to gauge how much is gettin into the vanes if any with dosing through the egt port going to see if can get a pic online of where it sits inside and see if its effective if not clean thru exhaust itsself
