What did you and your MK2 do today?

[AndyG_TSi]

picked mine up from the bodyshop today. The guy's have done a brilliant job.

you wouldn't know the bumper had been damaged.

Really pleased with the respray on the bonnet too, it was peppered with stone chips and the scratches that were there would not polish out

Looks like new again now

£300 well spent!

ahh, a front end and NS respray is what im looking for, but then seeing as tahts 75% of the car, i may aswell get the lot sprayed over. slight pain in the ass when you realise just how much damage **** roads can do

i have a fair few k's of motorway to do over the next 12-16 months! and another drive to south spain, (hopefully) so after all that! ill be looking into getting it sorted!

I had a split slap bang centre of the lower lip on front bumper, where someone had reversed into my car in a car park. to repair the split was £120 for a plastic weld & respray

The bonnet itself was £150 + cost of paint, so paint was £30


car was in the shop for 2 days, so all in all not bad really.

I recokon if you budget for 'say' £150 per panel, you wont be far off

seriously considering getting a bonnet bra, or buying some clear vinyl stonechip protection film. I think SEAT do an official stonechip protection kit?

i was thinking this, but im too much of a detailing *****, and i dont know where i would stand cleaning the film :/ unless its cheap enough to just remove and fit new when i have long and crappy roads up and comming.

where do you cross from? Plymouth is such as advantage for me!

I'd like to go down aug / sept time! its just too hot for my liking in July, like the last 3 years! late Aug, early Sept, its quiet and just a real nice temp!

Priced up s3 fmic and injectors from tps! Why didn't i think of getting the upgrade parts from them sooner?!

RCD 510 with DAB fitted

 

[Matthew FR]

Would like a low milage Cupra, cant afford to insure the r though seems to be about 1.5k more to insure.
How much should I be looking to spend for one in good condition dont mind pfl or fl budget being around 9/10k

 

[Marshall]

£10k will buy you a low mileage 58 plate maybe an 09
Have a look around because when I traded my 10 plate R in I struggled for money.
Trade was £11.5k!!!!
Most places offered £12k I eventually haggled £13k but the money would be on the car I was buying.
There will be plenty bargains around especially with fuel prices the way they are.

Was it easy to install and get the dab and sat nav working?

How much did you get that for?

 

[Deleted member 74601]

Fitted new pedals. Those clips are more difficult than they need to be, I pretty much butchered the ones on my original pedal

It'll still fit if I need to go back though.

 

[marty_34]

rejected the paintwork on my car and refused to take it back after dealer had bumped it

+1 would also be interested to know!

I've heard you need a separate DAB antenna?

It was easy to fit (Apart from a few little things...)

1) Yes it does need an external antenna...

This is what I used and it sits vertically in the windscreen. It's basically invisible from the inside.. (THIS WAS A BUGGAR TO ROUTE UNDER THE PILLARS AND TRIM!!!)

2) SD Card slot. Had to remove quite a bit of plastic to get the thing to go all the way back. Dremel realllllly is needed for this (I don't think I could have done it without it!)

3) Quadlock loom - It's such a tight fit at the back that I found the loom for the quadlock was stopping me from pushing the radio all the way back.

APART from these though it was a doddle! I also get a nice SEAT Media 3.0 Welcome screen which looks rather neat.

Absolutely Thrilled with the unit

Cost me £200 off the bay!
