What did you and your MK2 do today?

[ZiggyEP3]

Cable tied the rear brake shield back on until the replacement arrives

Anyone know do you need to remove the entire caliper on a Cupra to remove the brake disc?

When I've changed discs before on cars normally you can just remove one bolt and loosen the lower bolt and rotate the caliper out of the way. Not done discs on the R yet but my EP3 Type-R I had you could do it.

I would say its a caliper off job to be honest though

Took her for a remap today... Not had chance to go for a drive yet as I am at work but seems a fair bit faster... Dunno why I've not done it sooner.

So where did you go for remap?

 

[Ashers16]

Just took it to the garage where I get all my work done. Egr was giving me some bother so got them to blank it off and gut the DPF while it was there... Now I want to take it to a rolling road to find out what I'm actually getting

Unfortunately I have to agree regarding the lights but as long as you like them mate.

Just need to tint the headlights now

Why do people not remove the badge to paint? It's quicker to remove than it is to mask up around it......

 

[FMarques]

Just a question mate, are the exhaust pipes the original ones?

i kept adding layer at a time until i felt happy with them dan the light comes through absolutely fine as you can see haha

it was easier for me to just leave them on the car, back it into the garage and mask up as i haven't yet set up a workbench or anything in the garage and didnt want to risk get any dust etc in them spraying them or the floor. when i've doen them in the past i've always removed them and masked up etc on a workbench and admittedly it was easier and less hassle

I did the same and masked mine when I plasti-dipped the rear badge. Only took 5 mins to mask. Although I must admit I didnt even look at taking the badge off

My brother fly-eyed his rears which looked okay. You planning anything else for it?

i keep thinking about a light mist on the fronts but not sure yet, tbf i dont want to get caught up putting too much money into it as it's only a daily run around for me but maybe springs/coilys and 18's

Tint film is what I used on mine. Bit of a pain to get right but looks good.

I'm in two minds with mine, whether to run it into the ground or get a new one. It changes on a daily basis haha

Today i had my vcds cable (clone) delivered and had a play around with it and i have now got rid of the annoying kmh on the mfd and changed it to mph and also turned off the seat belt warning as it's very annoying when i have been carrying things in the front seat and it sets it off all the time.

I also sorted out my mirrors closing with my remote and opening when i put the key in the ignition with a guide on this site about resetting the windows.

Where did you get it from and is it like the genuine vcds?
