Welcome back mate! Sounds like you’ve been having fun 😂. Can’t say I’ve had the driver side compartment open up but I’ve had the interior light trim fall out over a nasty speedbump!

I cut a hole in a Beats sub, as a test to unleash the bass reflex channel.
So far I am not unhappy about it!

does it improve the sound in this case? or not :D
Yes, the bass became more "round", like the subwoofer has doubled in size, without being too loud. Now I finally notice any difference when using the subwoofer slider in the sound settings menu.

Was thinking of changing them, but might keep them and buy an APR stage 1 remap instead.
I always loved these alloys, even before I bought my FR. In my opinion, they were the best looking ones for rhe non-Cupra models. But the desire to change is always there so I bought a new set of gloss black Borbet Ys and shod them with winter tyres. Now I use my original alloys in summer, Borbets in winter. 😊

Fitted a time attack roof spoiler, expecting some serious downforce in the corners, should shave a few minutes off the morning commute. It turns out that I can store a s**t ton of stuff in it too 😆

You can use that time saved to clean the wheels 😂
Just the wheels?! The whole car is a mess 😂, made the mistake of giving a proper clean about about a month back, just in time for more salt on the roads. Looked decent for about a day!

Added some LEDs to illuminate the door pockets.

I used two LEDs per pocket and spliced into the window switches (the grey wire used to illuminate switch) so they come on when the headlights come on. I need to reivsit the drivers door, as I doesn't seem to get brighter/dim the same as the other doors.


The pictures show them at 100% brightness.

Edit: had to rethink the earthing of the LEDs as they flickered and seemed quite dim at times. I was using a bolt on the door, but testing it, found it was quite a high resistance. Now using the brown cable at rear of each window motor and they're spot on now.
