They're Dubmeister plates ordered from Tuningwerkes in Croydon, fully road legal
Can you guide me here one day, I want a set but I have not found them...not on Purley Way are they?
no mate, they're just off Brighton Road

Actually the marker is a few hundred metres out on that map. If you look on streetview they're the one with the MOT sign, number 40

But I'll still go with you if you like, I can never spend too much time in tuning shops

Ohhh right by the ESSO garage, I know that. Well I am required in Sweden next week so I will probs go next Saturday if you're around. That's assuming i'm too hungover tomorrow, if not I may pop there in the morning or seeing as I am in the beautiful urban metropolis that is - Croydon Town Centre - this evening, just camp out.

I too was concerned about the weight of the ARB, they're alot hevier than you think they're going to be. They more than make up for there weight on the twisty bit's though bud.
Just got the LED interior lights in, they look the nuts!
Unfortunately due to some incorrect info on here I've ordered the wrong size ones for the rear numberplate![[:@]](/forums/styles/seatcupra/oldforumsmileys/furious.gif "Furious [:@]")
Guess I'll pop the surplus ones in the for sale section and figure out the size i need for the numberplate
Pics coming after dark

As promised:
And the ones in the back seat:
Here she is in the dark showing the new LED rear lights - you can't really see the LED interior lights from this angle, but the taillights are bright enought without anyone hitting the brakes!
My HIDs look a lot bluer in this pic than they are in real life, they're only 6000k
I should have the numberplate lights sorted in LED styleeey before the end of the week, but I dont think I'm gonna bother with the door markers or the boot lights and glovebox, maybe in a few months?
I'm bored, sitting upstairs at AmD waiting for a few bits that needed doing.
Got some new front brake pads (more DS2500s even though I've only had them since 20/03/09 they were trashed) and getting the ARB fitted.
I nailed a curb a few weeks ago in the snow and was worried about the alignment, but they've checked it and it's all good so a bit of a result there - well apart from the fact I had to get some thicker rim tape
Might have to spring for a refurb soon as I'm not too happy with the way the wheels are looking at the mo, even though they've only been curbed once there are lots of chips and the lacquer on one of them is letting dirt underneath.
Pics of the fitted ARB to come soon

RARBs are the way forward mate! You will be surprised by the difference it makes. Does it have different settings? Get it on the stiffest if it does....
<- see my user title thingy
(since I'll probably change it soon it says "Set on hard...")
So this morning I have mostly been swearing at the car, I mean sorting stuff out before the London meet.
I took the back lights off and painted behind them again as you could see part of the white sealant which really bugged me. That's all better now
Heres a before and after shot of my new LED numberplate lights, as you can see from the pic I've not done the boot light yet
Then I replaced the splitter with a brand new one. unfortunately I have run out of red JoinCRASH stickers
Here is a photo showing how incredibly easy it was to get the old one off:
Next I removed the red bike tape from the wheels. The reason I'm doing this is because I scuffed one of them (on a pothole grr) and when I bought some more tape it was the wrong width (a bit wider). this meant theat i had to replace the tape on all wheels.
Problem with this was that my cheap refurb has shafted me. When I took some of the tape off where one of the scuffs was, it took the paint with it:
Annoying since I'm so careful when parking and then I scuff the wheels on a huge pothole actually i did slide into a curb in the snow too, but that's what happens with daily drivers I guess. At least the alignment is okay. The wheels will need refurbing anyway since the paint is all cracked and the dirt has gone under the lacquer and they're covered in stone chips and now scuffs.
Anyway, this afternoon I will wash and hoover the car, paint the bits where the paint has come off the wheels, put the new bike tape on, and if I have time I'll give her a bit of a polish before the trip to the London meet.
Might take a few photos if I get her looking good

I took some pics but they're pretty awful since it's now dark and my phone is a bit gash. Can't see the rim tape or the new splitter, but at least you can see she's clean!
And here's a good one of the LED numberplate lights and tail lights
