I get accused by the other half or driving like a boy racer or a grandad, one extreme to the other.
safe to say this was more grandad. Not bad mpg from the cupra 290ez

Gave the engine bay a clean. Happy enough with the results.

I went over the whole bay with a detailing brush to get rid of any dust and debris then used a trim dressing which i sprayed into a bowl and the brushed on with a detailing brush to get a even coverage. Any large surfaces i brushed then gave it a quick wipe to get a uniform finish.Looks good what steps were involved to cleaning it thinking of doing mine soon
You're more likely to be back later asking how to get rid of all the spiders and the slimey snail tracks on the inside of the back windowI've got the back seats folded down, a huge tarpaulin in the back and about 300 KG of garden rubbish waiting to go to the recycling centre very shortly. If I'm back on this evening asking how to replace a rear spring later, now you know!
True but the funny thing I find is around where I live it’s the Leon FR and Ibiza FR who try to race you the cousins Golf R and S3 just leave you to itA lot of people underestimate a Cupra. Its even funnier when it's people in an S3 not knowing its the same car "But mine cost more so it should be faster"
Wasn't done today, but forgot to post. Gave my FR a bit of TLC.
Gave it a heavy duty wash and decontamination and also a 2 stage polish using Koch Chemie F6 and M3.
Finished it off with Bilt Hamber Double Speed Wax, which is amazing btw. Super easy, quite durable, and wonderful beading.
Would highly recommend Bilt Hamber Auto Foam and Auto Wash, both are amazing products for cleaning.
Here's a short clip of the beading
Removed the rear muffler and got a nice set of exhaust tips similar to those in the Audi RS3l
owered the car just a little bit
Give it a good wash and took some photos
Wrapped the front shield and emblem
Also changed the oil, coolant cap and windshield wipers
