What did you and your MK2 do today?

[Marshall]

So this morning I went and filled my Cupra R full of vpower, 1st time in 2 month of owning that I actually filled the tank full and I was a little gutted because of the cost for 3/4 of a tank and the trip computer said on a full tank I could only do 220miles, but I had just drove it hard so should gain a few miles sat on the motor on my way to Awesome on tuesday.

Don't worry mate the range usually reads 345 miles to a full tank with 280-300 achievable.
Keep us posted on your views after your trip to awesome.

Saw this car yesterday just outside Barnstable in Atlantic village wanted to say hi but no one around. Anyone know who it is?

Has a seatcupra.net sticker in the window.

Also filled up with the super juice. Again lol

Gave the car a wash and realised how many swirls were in the paint! I guess the previous owner didn't polish it!

i've the same problem, gotta love the way black cars show up every mark lol!!

 

[Mikey-D]

Yes^ ****ing nightmare!! Mine has plenty at the mo!

 

[bigbadjay]

Iv got myself a week off work with the little lad, and the only thing i have to do to the car is wash it.

Any quick mod ideas??

I'm thinking of buying a machine polisher cause these swirl marks are slowly going to drive me to drink lol

 

[Roganjosh]

You any experience with a Da or rotary ryan? Or anybody that could teach you, i do all my stuff by hand now, got a DA but 2bh i gathered i was going to do more harm than good with it, panels like bonets and roof were fine but i got holograms on my door panels which were a pain to get out due to my lack of skill!

 

[bigbadjay]

Use a fine polish like dodo juice micro prime, im not experienced but i have seen it on vag paint, does the trick. I think its classed as a glaze

I live close to a guy who does detailing for a living so i could ask him for a crash course lol quite happy with the hand polish atm so i'll probably just stick with it.

I gained a few miles last night when me and my gf went for a drive a long the lake road getting stuck behind tourists kept my speed down, done about 35-40 miles and the range went up to 265miles by the time I got back home.
Yeah I'll let you know how Tuesday goes, I can't wait.
Kev is there much difference between H&R springs and standard shocks and H&R springs and shocks? Just am thinking H&R springs and shocks to save the standard shocks, don't really want to go coilovers because H&R springs lower the car enough.

 

[Marshall]

I used to run h&r springs and original dampers on that car and the ride was pretty much the same as now.
I don't think it bothers the original shocks as it only drops about 20mm.

On my golf I'm running h&r springs and dampers and would say the ride is better than standard and that was on 18" wheels.

If the budget can take it I'd go with h&r springs and dampers or lots of people rave about coilovers but I've not had any experience with them.
