I feel better now I’ve heard your story! I’ve got some newspaper stuffed down between seat base and backrest now, will get some upholstery shampoo and wet/dry vac if off in due course. In the meantime the car stinks of latte.I done something similar - the one day I wanted to be nice and bring people at work some coffees, the lids weren’t on properly and all 4 lattes went over the passenger seat. Every little drop onto my alcantara...
Invested heavily in A LOT upholstery cleaner and thankfully the dead milk smell only lasted a few days. Must’ve emptied all the seat cleaner stuff I bought onto the seat and refrained from rubbing anything in, with the hope it would bring everything to the surface.
All good as new now
And my colleagues will never get drinks from me again

No, it's literally the only bulb on the car which isn't led. Why they didn't put an led in I don't know.

It’s the only light on the whole outside of the car that isn’t LED, even the rear fog is LED! Seems a silly way of saving pennies by Seat.
What bulbs did you use? I have changed mine to an LED, called super white on eBay... looks a bit blue to me so I might replace it seeing as they're only a few quid
I got a bulb from LEDPerf. €15 and its very bright and perfectly white. Simple swap.

Super excited about what turned up today... 76mm cat back exhaust system from Friedrich Motorsports in Germany for my st300,... with Audi rs6 avant tailpipes. They came in chrome which I’m not a fan of, so I wet and dried etc and sprayed them gloss black.... can’t wait to get it fitted on Friday... with a ressi delete already it should sound awesome....

Fitted an 8" screen to my pre facelift FR today, I'm very pleased with it.
I did pay a bit over the odds for it because I thought I would need the surround/vents unit as I didn't want to modify my existing one, also it came from an 18 plate car that had only done 1200 miles, but it turned out that the new surround would not fit my car so had to modify my existing one. Also as leonlad has said previously the screen doesn't have CP.
Is it plug and play for this? I'd love the bigger screen and the dedicated android auto button in my Cupra 290.
In a sense yes as there is no CP, but to have the new type menus you will need updated firmware/software, with my MIB2 Nav High unit the original FW version was 0319 and the first update I did to version 0674 showed the new menus on my old 6.5 inch screen. you will also have to remove some plastic from the radio aperture so the 8" screen will fit flush but it doesn't show once the screen is in.
What you doing with the old exhaust. May want to put my to stock looking in time for trade in.

Knew I should of kept my old exhaust. But it was just to big to put anywhere and as after the split the pipe is oval not round not possible to cut it into pieces that would go back together.

I have the BCS powervalve with ceramic coated tips. Wanted the ovals like you but their’s was just to big, so have a quad system.
I want another Cupra, but has to have the bucket seats this time. Hoping for a carbon edition and then I’d just sell the exhaust. If not I’ll need to buy side skirts again...

You have to say that, our cars aren’t from being the same lol
How did you do the tips? Is one ‘fake’ so to speak? Or does it split after the silencer?
