They're the bulbs I got :)
Where did you go to get the jabba map? The only reason Im deciding Revo or Apr is because they're nearer to me..If jabba is near me then ill consider them as well. How many horses you pushing out now?

Nah not seen the thread about the breather pipe..in the mk5 section?

There isnt a sales section on here mate I dont think, you'll just have to hope someone comes across your thread and see notice that you're selling your forge.

Thanks mate, I'll have a look later, might wait til I've seen them fitted to your car first though :p lol.
They're based down at Peterborough so I'm guessing it will be a lot further for yourself, it took me 1hr 30 from where I am, but I was determined for them to do it.

Only 200bhp but mine was low to begin with, it only did 167 (as a spike) and averaged around 163 as stock. Kev at Jabba thinks its becuase mine has the earlier ECU with it been manufactured in the first year of the CUPRA been launched, and its the first he has seen with the same ECU, tbh I was pretty gutted that it only managed that as stock, but after the remap you dont half notice the difference! lol. [B)]
I'm going to do a few more mods with it to increase that figure, I dont know if you;ve seen how covered up the intercooler is on them.. if you look at my RR you will see mine with the bumper off, so I will be removing some of the plastic blocking the air flowing to it.

Yeh I think I bookmarked it on my laptop, will post the URL when I find it.

I think I might just stick it on Fleabay then lol along with my Forge Spacer BOV, I took that off when I was at jabba, can't be bothered with the TTTTSSSSSSSSSS anymore :lol:

Yeah peterborough is far from me...I'll stick to closer dealers lol.
Only 200!? hmmm and 163 average for stock...thats really weird..was your cupra brand new or 2nd hand?
I havent looked at the car without the bumper off properly, I took it off a few hours ago to wrap my bumper but failed, and fitted in the fog bulbs.
Lol not sold the BOV yet? I dont like that sound at all!

*UPDATE*

So today I attempted to wrap my bumper in CF vinyl for the boc look with the help of fleshers......and we failed :( so gonna get a pro to do it instead so hopefully I can get fitted in sometime next week as I shall call him tomorrow, but I put in the fog bulbs and it looks alot better now :)
Also fleshers lent me his FK 17mm rear spacers for me to try so will fit them on Saturday to see how they look.

It really is a pain in the arse to prepare as you have to get the car warm along with the vinyl wrap around 20 degrees before, which I didnt know about, but literally just got a call from the guy whose wrapping it and quoted me 80 for it to be done on Wed :).

I want to make people wait, but I'm getting impatient myself lol, now I have to wait abit longer for it to be done :( lol

Yeah he spent a while prepping my car to be fair lol but £80 is a much better price mate glad you got it down, now just a waiting game :p had good news my side insurance has dropped considerably so may be able to look into a ITG or remap if they ever sort my misfire and oil usage out :D

*LITTLE UPDATE*

Fleshers lent me his FK 17mm spacers for the rear to see what it was like on mine as I was after some spacers so with it being "the hottest day of the year", I thought today would be the perfect day to put them on and see what it was like on mine. After about 25 mins, I'm happy with them :)..just need to get front spacers now!

Here are the pics!

Very nice look to the car, i'm thinking of putting spacers on my rear wheels too. They are way too much tucked in! :)

Yeah i tried doing the cupra letters when i was doing the back badge but it got abit fiddly and gave up..also it would have alot of the vinyl sticking out at the edge which would make it look crap as i tried to do it for the letter A...im abit of a perfectionist too...was there for like 20 mins trying to smooth off the edges and ending up cutting them because i got a bit pee'd off lol


i wrapped the letters on my Ibiza it was a pain in the ass! im not sure i could have got it perfect no matter how long i spent playing with it :(

Yeah no matter what you do, you can't get it perfect if you wrap it...mine looks crap up close but the rule with cf wrapping is that if it looks good 6 metres away then its fine...that's what I got told anyways
