    Main Beam adjustment

    Can the main beam aligment be adjusted on the cupra lights, for some reason mine seem to just light up the left hand side of the road and not alot ahead or to the right :( Its pretty shocking imo and if it can be adjusted it would make them so much better :) Cheers Si

    Guys, Funny one this, but just how valuable is a SEAT service history over say a VAG service history? The reason I am asking is because I know that my forthcoming service is going to cost around £100 more at a SEAT main stealer than a mate can do for me at an official VW Dealer complete...
