Me and the car had an amazing day at Blyton Park. Was great to finally get her on track to see what she could do! The answer was destroy most things there (apart from the Radicals and Tigers!):funk:

Carbon'd and fitted my linea r grill , it looks so much better at the front now . Also carbon'd the inner door handle strips and it looks sweet :))) .
Also booked my car in for the rear defuser fins to be fitted and sprayed on my aero kit . Am i the first to have done this on the aero kit as i know the cupra comes with one standard and i carnt find and pics with "fins" fitted

Drove the car for a while to see how the H&R sway bars feel and they're amazing! Steering response on sharp turns has completely changed. The car corners flat and there's much less understeer and a nice lift off oversteer that just takes the front nose into the corner! LOVING it.
Also ordered a Cupra R BCS exhaust, Cant wait for that to arrive. Huge thanks to Nigel at BCS

No.
After long hours of online reading, i decided I should go for the H&R smaller Front and rear bars (26 front and 22 rears)rather than the big bars (28 & 24) since im not spending that much track time but want a good set-up for daily spirited driving.
Most people would go for rear only which i feel creates way too much lift off snap oversteer and could lead to unpredictable handeling, front one seems to help keeping the balance and I really love the way it feels, You can definately feel the difference that a front sway bar makes when driving.
Im running 18x8J ET35 rims so I needed the front and rear to get rid of slight rubbing under very hard cornering on uneven surfaces which seems to have been solved now.

Very nice car man, where did you get your wheels ?

I just have the rear at the moment (24mm) and it handles brilliantly now. The nose just goes where you want it with no understeer, then if you let off the throttle the rear tucks in behind it. I wouldnt say it was anywhere near dangerous, unless you hit roundabouts then get off the throttle...now that is fun :D

Nice:happy:
sway bars are the best handling mod on these cars
I got those off a Seat Leon supercopa from the local touring championship cars :D
