Yes, got the cupra r black door seals with a few other cupra r bits I picked up on eBay. Failing that I was going to try and dye the cream ones black.

Door seals just pull off mate. To get the roof lining out, remove the abc pillars, grab handles, sun visors, interior light etc and just pop it off. Helps if you take off the headrests too to give you more space to get the roof lining out.

lovely job cheers :)

whats next for your car then?

Porsche brakes are next on my list, already got the brake hoses and carriers, just need to source the calipers, discs and pads. The standard disc and pads on mine are very poor and I plan on more BHP in the future so might aswell getting the braking power in place first.

Fitted the jabbasport heatshield, replaced the OEM plastic CAF as the heatshield didnt want to fit in with it in the way, so just put a CAF hose in its place. also fitted the JCaps power steering cap and a crappy universal filter until my Jetex one arrives.

Waiting for my SFS red TIP to arrive, then i need to make some custom hosing between the TIP and the MAF. Then get the SFS turbo\intercooler pipes and fit the Allard EGR delete kit, fit the fuel filter with some red fuel hoses and paint the screen wash bottle black.
