    Smoking Is Bad

    Last night whilst driving in to my home town one of my mates dropped a lit fag on the back seat of my cupra which burned a rather large hole. Aaaaaaarh!!! :ban: Does anyone know how much a new mk4 cupra bench (larger one) costs and would it be cheaper to get the damaged one re-covered?
