Have fun with the 280mm and fast driving. Was bad enough with one of those in my old lupo. Look great but feel skittish at speed in my opinion. Never found turning that hard tho had a mk2 golf with no power steering before. Glad ur treating her well tho definately miss the driving pleasure. Your doing what i wish i had the money do with the little beauty ;)

Haha I no what ya mean ive only ever use a 280 team on a 1.2 Clio so that weren't fast and my old corsa c20let and that was just a shell cage and dash so I found the steering brilliant with a little wheel but a corsa is a lot smaller than the Cupra lol

Cheers mate I'm scraping for money at the mo now tho lol but worth every penny! It will be on the rollers on the 26th to see whats she's pulling
 
Flush head rests update

:D
When fitted my rear strut brace i wanted my rear head rest to sit flush with the rear seats to match the front.

So spent five minutes in the garage tonight and sorted them out.
