Yesterday actually, on way home from work a Mazda driver looking for an accident decided to try me, see clip below. Also anyone guess the music on the CD.

What a knob. Surely there is a website or something that lets you submit these videos to get the break testing a holes punished. I know my Dad got fined for flicking a cig butt out the window via a dob in scheme.

Fitted new front wipers as the originals were due to be changed, but this mornings heavy frost put paid to them as they were stuck hard to the windscreen even after the blower on full defrost mode for about 8 mins.

Had bought these Heyner (German) ones from Amazon last year as they were well rated and only £18.99 for the 26/16" set. Will report back after I have used them for a while.

Update 4/1/17 - These wipers are great, no smearing, no noise and clears heavy rain at motorway speeds perfectly. Far better than the OE ones, so have bought another set already for future use.

What's the boot struts mod? Made a few changes with my OBD eleven (great wee device), rear lights, sweep needles on dash etc.

im still waiting on the rest of the LEDs coming, i got these off another post with tells you which ones you need

I found it on a post that holding the boot release on the key for a couple seconds, people could hear the boot catch releasing but the struts cant push the boot open as they aint strong enough

i got these ones to replace the stock ones

Put on some new rubber on the front (rear to follow next week)



Thanks to DGF264 for the new wheels and dust caps





All I can say is the Super Sport tyres are great, I get much more grip in the wet and much less wheel bounce. The other tyres I will buy next week will be PS4 S as these are supposed to be the replacement for the sport.

Cleaned the hell out of the not so old girl today. Can't stand all the crap on the roads at the minute but couldn't bear to see her dirty anymore, regardless of the fact it'll be covered in mud again by tomorrow

Tried out my new jack on the Cupra, and well pleased with the fit of the additional pad on the jacking seam.

What's the boot struts mod?

Boot strut mod completed today, along with fan washers and LED reversing light.
Waiting for my OBD11 to arrive so I can start playing - mirror one click fold, red door lights all the time to name but 2.

PaoloB - boot strut mod is simple, cheap (£28 from link on here in another thread) and oh so satisfying when you can open your boot just by pressing the boot button on the key fob.

Do you think the boot strut thing is easily reversible? Lease car and all that

Takes 5 minutes to change the struts. They just pop off
