Cheers!
I already had the bonnet struts from my 290 - I got them from ebay from some Russian seller for around £40. But I think they've caught onto how much people want them and I think they are like £90 now. Happy I took them off the 290 before trading her in!
The footwell lights are going to be a bit of a custom mod (thanks to @Damo H ) as he's come up with a pretty neat solution to make them orange. Just need to test it and see how it turns out.
Had a Res delete done and I'm really happy with the results! Highly recommend it for anyone sitting on the fence about it. The car doesn't drone at all when driving normally and the burbles, pops and crackles are amazing! Thanks to VAG Manchester for their help and new Res delete kit!
Racingline have all the info from the car they need to ensure they've got a good map for it. Probably after the meet now.And when is the stage 1 map going on
Merry xmas and looking forward to seeing it in the flesh.
Merry Christmas to you too
Here's the resonator delete in full flow
May not be to everyone's liking...

That's going to sound amazeballs when you drop a few cogs to overtake.Here's the resonator delete in full flow

Either I have missed it or perhaps it’s “new” that Progressive parts / VAGsport have bypass pipes to Seat. In any case they have, (should be very similar to Golf 7). Bought a VAGsport kit to a Golf R (my sons) just before Christmas, fitted spot on. Not much droning, fully acceptable in this case.
Did you order the 300 hp version 2 to your car? I also have a 2018 Cupra R, therefor I’m curious
.Have you experienced any droning? I think it sounds great in the video.
In general the Cupra R is rather quite inside, there is a margin for increased sound level. Have reduced sound actor to about 70%.

There's hardly any droning at all really. Not that I can tell. I'm really pleased with it and it always makes me laugh and smile everytime I change gear, up or down. My sound actuator is turned off completely and I have some dynamat sound proofing under the rear bench and it will be in the boot at some point too.
The res delete on the R is based on the Golf GTI Clubsport. It looked easy enough for them to fit, but these guys do it everyday and make it look easy.
I would highly recommend it to anyone!

Thanks for the quick reply.
Same as Clubsport S....When I look at my second silencer it looks just like the one for Golf Clubsport S. It must be the same Item.

The Cupra number is not the same, it is 5G6253611CH. Perhaps different end pipes, doesn't look the same.

I'm braving it - there has been a few brown trouser moments, but the tyres are holding up well!
I'll try...but the bar is pretty much out of sight under the trim below the wipers.
