Picked up the lad from cubs and though it looked cool

Shot on my P20 pro, night mode only, no flash or filter changes. Only thing I did was removed the plate

It's been a busy and interesting 2 days. Got tyres fitted yesterday, PS4s were working out too expensive so I went with the very well reviewed Dunlop Sportmaxx RT2. Apart from a 4 wheel drift coming out of the tyre centre (new tyres are slippy people be careful) they are great. Definitely quieter than the Continental Sport contact 5p they replaced.
It also got its 55,000km major service today. Worryingly, I was told when they opened the coolant tank, coolant poured out as if it was over filled. I haven't touched the coolant since I got the car of the same dealer in April and I've had no cooling issues but they've marked it down as a possible head gasket issue! :censored: least I've warranty for another year and a bit but it's not what you want to hear about a 55000km engine

Yeah 5 minutes job just need flat head screwdriver and some pliers.

Just remove clips on each end of the damper then remove ....then boot lid bangs head lol. Only negative point is there’s more resistance when closing then the originals.

I’m not sure if they fit the sensible practical version of the Cupra haha. I’m sure I’ve read in another thread they don’t fit but I could be wrong. I’ll try find the thread.

There’s a thread on here just for boot struts but can I find it now might be worth double checking the part number if you can find the thread. There’s some videos in YouTube they might be blue to confirm

It doesn't say on the listing that these will open the tailgate automatically, all the ones I have seen for the ST have springs on the piston rod to lift the tailgate.

To be honest that’s what I’ve seen in two YouTube films. I think ill source some die springs first which are much cheaper and see how that goes.. cheers for the input chaps..
