I really want the splitter on mine but our driveway is at a weird angle and can sometimes catch the front if you don't get it just right.

As it is sunny here today, and the forecast for the nex week is warmer and dry I gave it a wash (as you all know I hate washing the car for it to look just as dirty again the next day) I once enjoyed washing cars, but now I just can't be arsed, must be an age thing.

Gave it its first wash and seal, sorted out the garage so it fits, got all the info from the infotainment thing so I can update maps and software

Also shame : Drove my FR 1.8 in Sport mode for the first time since I got it. Around 1300 miles now and car is certainly a different story on Sport mode. Cannot imagine the feeling the Cupras offer....

Didn’t do nowt in my Cupra apart from a visit to the Gym.

However my plans to wash it were scuppered as my Karcher Pressure Washer has a surging issue so I spent the afternoon stripping it down, watching YouTube videos and ordering spares so I can get it fixed and do some snowfoaming!!

Sent it with the wife to go get a full service from her work. Hope it comes back with a clean bill of health

Fair play and that's dedication , i had one of these jet washers and there great and I also tried a leaf blower from a mate of mine to blow all the water off after and it was perfect and saved wiping it off lol

Washed my Honda and then felt sorry for the poor manky Leon, gave it a warm wash down and, jings, it’s white! Still thawing out after the fresh air experience, interior clean tomorrow.

Changed the rear CUPRA emblem to oem gloss black one, looks much better IMO. Now the chrome Seat badge looks like it needs to be gloss black also.

lump of aluminum that bolts to both sides of the car to reduce flexing, much like the strut brace works on the suspension mounts.

sales blurb

Leyo Motorsports braces for the VW and Audi MQB Platform are designed by Leyo Motorsports racing team with extensive R&D and road tests to ensure correctness & precision. These braces strengthen the chassis and minimize body flex during hard corning while optimizing suspension movement for improved handling. They are fabricated from 6061 Billet Aluminum. They are hard anodized to withstand the harshest of environments.

Had changed all interior bulbs to led the other day & was waiting on the reversing bulb to arrive, which it did yesterday. I have now changed that over to led also which was very simple indeed. Now to see what else I can upgrade :)
