MOT carried out and all good for another year :whistle:

Had a window regulator fitted and four coil packs diagnosed as needing changing. Well two of them needed changing so just had them all changed.

Just waiting on some brembo discs and the car should be in good standard condition. Then I might start thinking about mods....

I use some chemical guys nonsense in a wetvac , about an inch of nonsense in the wetvac topped up with water , soaked the seats and gave them a good scrub with a brush and sucked all the dirty water out and that's how they came up , the stuff that came out the seats was disgusting , don't know how the previous owner could drive about with seats so dirty .

Also the nonsense has no smell to it so when the seats dry there is no smell afterwards .

Thought I may as well do them while the seats were out as my doors were getting sealed up .

Also for anyone wondering what I used to machine polish the car with , I used chemical guys v34 compound with an orange hex logic pad , v36 polish with a white hex logic pad and v38 finishing polish with a black hex logic pad , I just gave those panels a quick layer of chemical guys black wax until the whole car is done and then il seal it with jetseal 109 and put 2 coats of chemical guys E-zyme wax on it.

Rangers, no.... Norwich City if anything, not that in to footy though to be honest. As for the guy doing this on a Cupra, i had a word with him before i started this... inspirational work. :) (Guide for the cluster & End Game) The instrument cluster will be my worst nightmare though as it'll take my car off the road. :(

That looks smart as mate .

Cheers dude. :) Work in progress...

Just noticed... i should really update my avatar and sig... that's my old Cupra lol.
