Update:

Got my engine cover off a member... well impressed with the guy's speed and attitude... look forward to more from him one day! hah.

I need to get the "screws" that actually hold it onto the block... when i rang Seat they were confusing as f*ck... so i will have to go down i think, unless anyone knows the part numbers i need??

Also, just this second bought an Audi TT upper strut brace! Can't wait to get that, have it sprayed/powdercoated red and get that beast on..

Pics as soon as i get the parts fitted :)

Finally got my car through the MOT... found that one of the shocks was leaking badly... and i mean badly! when i was shown it off the car... you could actually see the oil coming out when you flexed it!

They were FK highsport coilovers... and my advice.. NEVER buy them.

After ordering a set of Jamex coilovers that was recommended by a member off this forum (massive thanks to him!) got the whole kit ordered for the price of two replacement shocks from FK!!!!

So, the car has now passed as the shocks were the only thing that failed.. (note: HIDs passed absolutely fine.. another vote for Dianeshop)

The jamex coils are worlds apart from the FKs... the ride is like being on cushions compared... but then could be because THREE, yes THREE of the shocks were leaking oil :(

cant recommend the Jamex coils enough, £190 for a set and 2years warranty... ordered 9am yesterday, arrived 9am today... only quibble is no top mounts with them... but hey!

Got my TT brace off a member here, ground the remaining bracket off, will just spray some matt black over that tomorrow until i can get it powdercoated to stop it rusted and might try to fit it tomorrow.

Todo:

Engine Cover (need screws)
Brace (need paint and holes drilled)
Fit CD changer in the boot
Drill Airbox

another update from me:

Coilovers been on a week and a massive difference in ride quality... even with them set to different heights as my garage is useless!!

The rear is stupidly low and the front is to high... but being sorted this week :)

Got my engine cover on today, massive difference in looks, well happy... although it sits on the DV which im not entirely sure about... anyone confirm this??

No Lights

I know the bra isnt to everyones taste... still needs to be "worn in" as its not been on long... hence the creases around the badge... but all takes time and its cold atm so its not moulding 100%.

rather than clog up another thread as their's hundreds... im on the prowl for a decat now..

I have looked into them and you can buy decats for the standard 2.5" system, although i cant find one... or a 3" downpipe and decat.

questions:

- can i buy an a3 decat and downpipe (or just a decat) as they seem to be cheaper!
- Will a stage 1 revo remap have mapped out the decat or will i get an EML?

if anyone has any links that would be great... i currently have eight decats in my watch list and dont know which will fit! haha
