After picking up my ibiza cupra on friday,it only has 200 miles on the clock and it already had the misting in my lights---so I have reomoved the bulbs to try and vent it a bit. While waiting for this ---I started to have a good look aroung--and do all seat Ibiza cupra's come with a spare alloy wheel?

This is the first car ever i have had that comes with this, do they all??

Ive had my car to SEAT a number of times regarding the light.

I have now resorted to drilling 2 breather holes in the covers for the bulb holders for ventilation, and it works a treat :D

I have had my Ibiza cupra since January 2006 from new and I have had no problems with the car until now.
When I wash the car ,or drive in the rain and if it even cold the head lights mist up.
Seat say this is normal, they say run the car for 10 mins and the condensation will clear.
This all well and good but this only clears were the lights are shining not in the corners of the lens were I have now got a fair build up of water.
Has any one had the same problem ?
I have contacted seat and they are going to get back to me they call this a weather phenomenon.
What planet are they from!!!

This has been discussed many a time before. Do a little search and you'll find loads on the topic.

Spare alloy is to clear the bigger brake calipers, it probably broke the Seat bean-counters hearts to have to do it. My wife's Clio 182 Cup has no spare. Just two cans of tyre foam. But her headlights don't mist up.

The spare alloy is, as previously stated, to clear the front calipers.

But its not the best bit. The best bit, is the specially made reversible P Zero Nero thats on it! Try not to damage it coz it wouldnt be cheap to replace.
