Proper bright reg plate lights! Are those pressed plates too? Looks nice with the single set of rear lights on. Can you do it so it's just the outside ones instead?

Yes pressed plates too. Not looked in to outers only yet, would mean the inners would be redundant entirely then. May have a look tomorrow if i remember
Where in VCDS is the options for this?

Long coding for central electrics

Looks great with the black badges mate :)

Cheers dude, not cheap at all for what they are, but worth it on a white car.

Took the long route back to the m6 from Edinburgh, down the A7, good road ! And just for good measure (as there was traffic on the shap) drove through the lakes aswell :), very fun afternoon, stopping for some tea in Kendal !

Trouble is , just using inners you lose lights when you open tailgate .

True, did consider this, but since I live in a city centre which is pretty well lit, it's not that much of an issue. My numberplate lights give out more light than the tail lights anyway:rofl:

I've also fitted my £12.50 ebay front splitter recently, and for the money i'm well happy with it.

Would take a pic, but need to perform surgery on my phone first, smashed the camera the other day. Not looking forward to it as the whole thing is bonded together, front and back.

Picture this...... you are on a mountain road, on a dark, wet night. You have a hot date. You get a flat. You pull over. Open boot to get jack etc out. The local maniac comes roaring round the corner. He is confused by your bright number plate lights. He pulls to the left, thinking it's an oncoming car. You panic. You wave frantically but he doesn't seem to see you. He strikes you a glancing blow, flicking you onto the adjacent rail track (did I not mention that?) the night express is coming.... you scream but the roaring loco bares down on you ..... you can't move..... closer... closer.... closer.... see? Is that what you want to happen, coz it will :rofl:

Installed today new audio unit, RCN210... bought online from China. I lost the steering controls as this unit doesn't support Canbus I guess. It has USB , SD card & AUX ports. Also bluetooth that you can use to stream music right from your phone.

Booked my car into an auto electricians for Saturday as the fan for the heater has packed up. Pulled up a fault code that I worked out to be the fuse/relay. Also needs to cruise control looking at so figured I'd get them both looked at. Hoping it won't cost too much, needs insurance and tax at the end of the month.

Well had my car back what feels like 5 mins after a new chain and turbo and discovered an oil leak. Only just got it back in this morning and a new climate control unit is needed and a sump gasket

S6. Done the job last night, but silly me ordered a 'genuine' camera from ebay that is utter garbage and had a blurred spot in all images that it takes, didnt think to check until i had reassembled it. Livid. (No it isn't a smudge - I've checked)

Ordered a genuine used item removed from a phone instead. Expect the job to be a lot easier to do second time round after which i'll be returning the ebay garbage for a refund.

Have thought about buying the proper Cupra badge in black Dan but the plasti pip is holding up really well so didn't see the point yet but will make the purchase at some point :)

Also interested to see the splitter I'm intrigued buddy.

Had a few bits fitted today had my cambelt and waterpump done along with a service and cam follower change. Then I've had new brakes all around with fresh fluid and braided hoses :) I haven't picked it up yet but looking forward to collecting it after work tomorrow.



Cam follower and waterpump not in the pic but they were changed ;) also painted all the hubs and edges of the discs beforehand.
