Exactly the same as my accident, definatly repairable, garage-d pulled it perfectly straight again albeit not in my ownership. I was paid out around £2.5k and retained the car. Hope it turns out ok!

Any updates on this?
That looks like a serious bit of kit! Top work! Refreshing to see a job being done properly rather than cutting corners to get it done faster! At the end you will be laughing!
I like, always said the 1jz is the nicest sounding jap motor out there, twinned with your car and it should be perfection!
That looks mad! Really like that!
First time I've seen the car with the gtr-d's... I do like it, if I'm honest though I preferred the grids on your car, kinda looked more aggressive and that it had more purpose IMO
Although maybe...
Ever since owning the car the exhaust has hung rather low, after more investigation the backbox mount closer to the front of the car had completely snapped off! This is the exhaust situation before:...
It looks like its up to the job that's for sure! Certainly a lot cheaper that the kits available!
Tobrien1 on here has a black Leon cupra r now and they do look lovely when cleaned up!
That was 4 up but it's been dropped a touch more today and I reckon it should be spot on now!

Gave the car a run up to Birmingham today, a good 200mile round trip, is a nice feeling to know the car is good for it! Tobrien1...
As above, you know it makes sense
If you go navan from your kouki the way it is you are actually mad and I will unsubscribe I like it that much!! Lol
Lol at above
My mate owned that car, bought it from Essex way, was a gorgeous car, had literally all the best parts on it! Like so many these days it's gone to francais! :(
One of my favourite wheel choices, love these wheels and on that colour it looks great!
Instantly one of if not my favourite s body on the board, don't loose any more kouki bits!! IMO they make it!
That's what I'm thinking, by the weekend it will have a fair few miles under its belt do we shall see!

Well last night with the help of tobrien1 and daz_s13 we set about fitting my new coilovers. First we set about removing the front which is a bit of a PITA. Anyway pics:
All removed...
From what I can remember a friend had no issues with his lcr and the droplinks and his is pretty low... Something to look out for though! Thanks for the heads up!
The ovni yellow and the red I...
I'd definatly be interested in seeing what you've been up to with yours! I may have to consider the arb then considering how much it improved the 200 I'm sure it can't go a miss! I may even try the...
They're ta technix ones, I did think about buying a more expensive brand but I don't always think its the best way, I've compared these fitted on a Leon cupra r and I couldn't tell any difference...
Definatly, kind of an easier transition to a normal car from the 200 as there's still enough bits to do to them and they go well enough to put a smile on your face when needed!
Bit of an update.. The calipers paintwork seems to be a real weak point on these cars with laquer bubbling and chipping away etc which then leads to them looking increasingly dull, so I made a start...
It's not bad, all the power seems to come in at 2.5k rpm, so it's pretty fun even at sensible speeds and round town etc. as soon as I tighten it up by fitting my coilovers an removing the vag "comfy...
