as nice as they are they are abit of a pain!

The leather bolsters are cr4p, they crease really easy, also the leather isnt the best so around the edges of the seats it tends to wear really easy

Gonna have to attend to them with a decent Leather conditioner every few weeks

Would be interesting to weigh the leather seats vs the same seat in the Cupra. The material used in the facelift Cupra is :w4nk: as it wears faaarrr too easily/quickly.

Pre facelift Cupra seats were finished in better fabric than facelift Cupra seats. My current car with 18k has more seat wear than the old car ever did, and it is already on its second seat base.

Not much on the way of updates. I have got myself some NGK iridium spark plugs for her. And will get round to changing them at some point.
I am currently in the middle of a change over in jobs. Working offshore on the oil rigs in the coming weeks so the car has been put on the backburner. But i am sure in th coming months there will be a few big changes ;)

i am running irridium 8's on mine. I thought 9 might be too cold. Car starting up just fine then?

Yeh mate. Perfect. My other plugs were not to bad. They were factory VW NGK's. And i didnt think i would notice any difference with the low miles. But it defo feels better
