Had the first set (As far as I am aware) of custom-made mudflaps ever installed on a MK3 FR put on my car.

Also had the wheels rotated while I was at it to even out the tread wear....

Same here, washed car this morning as it was going to be a nice dry day, then popped over to my mates to help remove his engine/gearbox.
Big bugger but got it out in two and a half hours.



No hoist, just a couple of jacks, cut the front frame as that van is scrap now, and slid the whole thing out :)

I used £2 worth of vinyl to make my bumper look more cupra-esque:

This was the bit which I thought was going to be a c word.

My bro (who is better at all this stuff) said just stick it over it's no different to paint so I did and he was right. I measured how close I was to the wall with the solid tone from the parking sensors and then did it again after applying the vinyl and it was exactly the same.

You can see here I just heated it and stretched it to fit around the sensor:

And this is how close the solid tone is (it starts beeping from about two feet):

So you just wrapped over the sensor while it was still attached to the bumper?? You never removed the sensor from the bumper?
