Cool, thanks for the replies. I think i'll ditch the rear wiper for the summer and get the bump strips done. I remember seein mk4polo's done and it looked awesome.


Been thinkin about the middle pillar strips and it kinda blends into the window makin it look smooth, so i photoshopped it and it looked weird with it being blue.

If the repeaters are in the mirrors you can remove the side repeaters.

If they are not then its illegal and will also fail the mot

I'm sick of the rear of mine getting filthy after only a few miles so I'm resorting to re-fitted my mudflaps this week . Want to get some for the front aswell as the sides take a battering. I've got a 700 mile round trip to Newquay this weekend so want to protect my freshly PC'd paitwork the best I can.

Will post them up later when i get them off my camera.

Jking, what mudflaps have you got mate, i havent been able to find any for the cupra.

I' think i'm gonna end up going for some sparco ones, and trimming them to fit.

Not true...

If you can stand at 90degrees to the car standing at the rear wheel a set distance away and can see the front indicator your fine...

"These must be fitted with one side repeater indicator on each side. Instead of a separate lamp, the side repeater might be part of the front direction indicator if it includes a wraparound lens. Lamps incorporating a side repeater are marked either with an 'E' mark in a circle or an 'e' mark in a rectangle above which is the number 5. "
