Cheers for the comments
Just a quick update ordered some LED sidelight and number plate bulbs
In my opinion they look alot better and brighter then the standard ones:
Before:
After:

and the number plate bulb comparison:
HIDS are next!!!
Look good mate, where did you get them from? My 25 LED tower sidelight bulbs are dying, the leds are either dead or fallen off ! 9 missing out of 25 on the one, and 12 out of 25 on the other!

I had a look at this thread http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=277683 I found it on your build thread I was after the ones you got but the sidelight bulbs were out of stock and I'm to impatient to wait so order the ones off ebay! 
Any chance you can send me a link to the Hids you got?
Not that I'm copying or anything!

Then use "toyota pro" or "toyota one" discount codes, should take it down to £87.50. One of the codes gives you more discount than the other, just not sure which one

Nice idea that R32 intake, im after putting my standard box back on - smoothed and with a green panel in it, so may be worth hunting down an intake and modifying the box.
Done the same badge wise bar the C U P R A lettering, cleans up the silver I reckon, all the red was winding me up on the old badges

Engine bay update.
Having had the cone filter on for a few weeks know I'm not convinced it gives any positives over the old setup toward car performance!
All it seems to do is produce alot of noise! as this is not what I'm looking for its been replaced by the smoothed airbox with the green cotton panel filter and the R32 intake:
I'm going to hang on to the cone filter for know as I'm still not 100% on which setup is best!
On a positive note though my Hids arrived today!
Hopefully I'll get a chance to fit them this weekend!

Looks good mate. I think panel filter is the best way, I was just tempted by the cone too much by its noise.
Good to see the HIDs have arrived, its worth spending the extra money. I killed one of my ballasts and had it replaced with no questions asked.
Have you decided where to mount yours? Would you like to see where mine are?

I agree on the filter mate, the car feels great. Have you smoothed your airbox?
I was going to decide on where to mount the ballasts when I fitted them. If you can show me were yours are it would be a great help. I'm guessing you moved them from where they were originally mounted.
How did you manage to kill one?
Nice car, looking very tidy I'm following the cone vs. panel filter debate at the moment too, had some logs done since swapping my airbox with Pipercross filter for a big Jetex, and have gained about 2 or 3 g/s. That said I haven't done anything about putting a bigger cold air feed in yet, was interested in the R32 intake. Can I ask, did you just get the snorkel bit that you gave pics of or did you get the bit that goes in behind the passenger-side headlight too? Have you got part numbers or a link to somewhere that explains what's required for this mod?

Cheers mate! It also got the the bit fitted behind the passenger-side headlight. I havnt got the part numbers or any links as they were fitted on the car when I bought it! I can email the lad I bought the car off to see if he's got any details if its any help!
Having looked at other peoples threads it sort of makes me wish I had waited for a decent standard one so I could sort all the mods myself.
This one was to good to pass up though.
