Mine was £310 for 290 BE, but I decided to move to an area that clearly doesn't agree with cars, and it's jumped to £1,400.

Changed the drivers side front wing today for an (undented) good used one from ebay in the right colour... took a while for one to come up but at £80 (paid £120, sold my old one for £40) and about an hour to fit significantly cheaper than any body shop would have charged me....

Just home after a wee 1012 mile trip around the top west of Scotlands finest coast roads and loved every minute of it. Was nice getting the Cupra on roads that are a big bit fun. Can't wait to do it again.

yep, also the front sensors too. I found a garage that can do this. I can forward you their details to see if they can source the parts for you?

Started the ball rolling to order ours. Is under motability so waiting for the approval (already done, but part of the process still), then we can find a car and await delivery

Went for a night drive in my Leon 1.4 tsi FR. Easily breaking 100mph on the straight. The car is seriously fun to drive but pushes you to licensing losing territory very quickly.

I found that on the test drive, a very happy little engine that requires min effort to get to speeds best avoided lol

Added sound deadening foam to the rear wheel arches and boot floor and sides of my ST (had ordered it to fit to my 280 but swapped it before I had time to do it ) Ran out of the stuff for the spare shell well and waiting for more but already notice an obvious difference to road noise from the rear of the car.

Where did you get that from? Was it hard to fit?
