Fronts done, cleaned the calipers up a bit while I was at it. Need to clean the wheels now!

Feel for you mate, had this myself many years ago with a Metro GTI, had just collected it and only had 12 miles on the clock, and I left it in the Asda car park for less than 25 mins, I was gutted.

Went for a drive, In Cupra mode which I rarely do. Forgot how aggressive it is. Golf GTI picked on me.. he wont try it again. Might be a regular thing now, on shorter week because of the shutdown, but still being paid the same. Im already massively bored.

I had this exact same last week, called chipsaway as it’s only minor and he polished it up with no charge. Scratches all gone just need to get a dent guy to tap out the light dent now.

my dash/car has started to rattle when going over 50mph. I emptied my glove box just in case it was something loose in there so hopefully that cure it? The noise seemed to be coming from the far passenger side around the dash and could get the rattle to happen once the car was stationary. Any ideas what it come be if anyone has had a similar issue?

Yesterday I fitted a Maxton rear spoiler lip from the Progressive Parts guys...

As I don’t wash my own car (to lazy and OCD so gave up years ago to reduce stress lol) it won’t be washed for a while sadly :(

Looks amazing as always...

Is there a specific spoiler cap for the ST or does the hatchback one fit?

Much appreciated! Is there any difference between a FL and Pre-FL spoiler do you know?
Maxton only list it as FL only, but I didn’t honk the spoiler was any different with mine. Maxton can be a bit rubbish like that.

@paddy6789 your the man with the plans. Can you check the part numbers maybe?

Thanks again!

Considering the Maxton Side Skirts but can’t find any for the ST - Is the side profile the same length as the 5 door? And as such should they fit?

Well when I had my 280, the part numbers for 5 door and ST OEM skirts were the same.

Pre face lift spoiler: 5F9827960
Facelift spoiler: 5F9827960

Same part apparently, according to ETKA for the model PR-K8D (VAG code for Wagon/Avant). So in theory the Maxton lip should fit a PFL car if it’s the same spoiler.
