No problem, that explains why I couldn't find them at that price . Thanks for taking the time to reply though :)
No worries. Just keep an eye out :) I wasn't willing to spend nearly £50 for them and just stumbled across them. Wasn't sure if they'd fit as listing wasn't great but was worth the gamble at the price.

Finally got around to starting sound proofing my doors in-between the trusty British weather. I have to give every credit to JMAC for the superb walk-through you went to the effort of and using your photos as a guideline made it a damn sight easier!!
I did notice seats duct tape solution to the black panel rattle and also quite a but of moisture in the metal skin behind the speaker which I might have to keep an eye on

Hi winder123
Have you any order and cost links as to were you bought the sound proofing from, very interested in doing the job myself

I used 3xsilent coat starter kits £20 each and 1 4x15 silent coat absorber sheets £40-45.
Trim removal tools are widely available

Just follow this link, this is exact stuff I used. I already had a wallpaper roller so I didn't need one

Thought I would wash the car earlier as the sun was out and I've noticed that the height to the top of the wheel arch is different side to side. It's also 20mm higher on the nearside at the front and 15mm higher on the offside at rear. Is this within tolerance, seems a wrong to me.

My 1.4 TSI ST FR in Technic Grey met a white 280 ST with the orange pack. Was a promo car for my local Seat dealer. Text on the back with the Nürburgring logo says "Nürburgrings fastest estate".
The white-orange combo looked better, than I would have expected.

Make sure you switch off the auto lights when you clean the windscreen.

Bought a new driver's side floor mat, finally found a place that does them individually :) - Interior looks refreshed :).

I drove from Milton Keynes down to Munich, Germany on Friday and then Saturday carried on to our holiday destination Medulin, Croatia. The car done great. Managed to get 630 miles to the first tank Here's a pic at the Austria/Italy Border

Traffic Sign Recognition enabled via VCDS and so far it's worked flawlessly. Even picks up signs that are obscured by overgrown branches and such.



Also changed the blowers/climate control to show fan speed when on Auto setting and set the MMI screen background to carbon to match the FIS display.

Amazing on a run aren't they? We got 617 miles out of our first tank on our recent trip to France, but it gets a bit scary when you realise you only had 2.5 litres left in the tank! Got two other tanks over 600 miles on that trip. The good mileage came at 80mph cruise on the motorway, so not shabby at all! Interesting that the your 2.0l is giving similar mpg to my 1.6l....

For the traffic sign recognition, did your car come with the front camera / radar in the bumper or does this use another system?

Yeah I was on cruise most of the way but after the first tank and lots of traffic I hammered it down the autobahn just to get to my hotel, still managed to get 600miles out of that tank

It uses the forward facing camera, yes. The mid-range radar in the front bumper is for the adaptive cruise control.
