Looks lovely mate.

Do you always leave your motor out on the street?

Ahaha that's brilliant wish I had somebody I trusted enough to clean mine!

Bet he took it for a cheeky spin before he cleaned it though ;)

This is a nasty, nasty thread. I started on page 1, currently on page 74 and have a huge list of things to do. Just thought I'd have a browse through to get some ideas for my new(to me) mk2 Cupra and now have a huge list ranging from little mods like interior led strips to major engine mods. I even have a big list of cleaning/polishing products, by the time read the next 160 odd pages I'll be bankrupt.:D

Getting frustrated now, my Cupra has been in the workshop for almost 4 weeks now, the engine is all built again, but they can't get it to run smoothly, they thought it was the timing, but they've ruled that out now.
I had my Octavia vrs for 5 years and no issues for around 50k, only cost me servicing money and I've had the Cupra for a year and done around 12k and so far this issue has cost me almost £2500 !
I'm getting stick now for buying "cheap" Seat's as my Mrs had all sorts of issues with her mk1 Leon

Saw a fair few Leons driving around on my way to work this morning, a nice white FR with BTCC Kit weaving in and out of traffic, not good lol

But the one to remember was the standard Leon with a Cupra R Badge in the grille, BIG FAIL lmao

Nearly as bad as the Fr me and Andy saw at Donnington with both Fr & R badges on the front lol

It is funny though, dont know what they are trying to achieve. I know its their own car but dont badge it to something its not. Does it add an extra 5-10BHP or something because I damn sure could use an extra few ponies lmfao :rofl:

All the laminate and the 'GB' prefix are peeling off mine coz it vibrates loads on tickover, need to swap it quick.
