Iam a sucker for things like this, how's it done ?

Could do just a few white LEDs at the bottom of the door card to light up the area of the floor as your stepping in and out of the car.

3) Mounted Whiteline 24mm rear ARB aka Major Difference! €200 well spent, cornering feels way better (and i'm able to take turns much faster now), just awesome...

Copied post from my rr thread :p

Few bits done on the car today as planned, despite a small issue which I now need to sort out, but it's nothing serious.

Started by taking the Forge 008 off and apart to fit the new piston I got free of charge from Kris @ Forge. However, there was no need to. The piston sent out is the same as the one I have, no difference at all, and on the current one, no uneven wear or general wear at all so it's been left on. The 008 hasn't been on a long time so I'll fit the new piston towards the end of the year once it's been on 12 months or so.

I did make a small change though, and fitted two of the shims I had in the 008 box. I've not tested the car properly so can't comment much on boost, but I did move it back out the garage and up the drive again earlier and all seemed fine with the dv. I've read some people have found the shims to help boost further on stage 2 cars so I'll see how it runs on the next run out.

So it began

008 apart

Current piston and new one (no difference)

I got some silicone hosing in the week (thanks for the link richy cupra) and thought I'd have a go at fitting some of it today.

Hose by manifold was the first. The metal sleeve has to be cut off so I used a hack saw and then pulled it off with some wire cutters as you can't go more than the sleeve or you'll go through the pipe you need to connect the silicone hose to.. Cut the hose down and fitted with new jubilee's.

Then I decided to use some of the leftover hosing from my DV re location kit to make up a shorter bung off the charge pipe where the old DV hose ran. I still had the OEM pipe running off this to where the DV used to sit and put the bung in but I wondered if making it shorter would help responsiveness at all. So I ended up with this which is much neater:

Now for the annoying bit, and the charcoal canister lid decided that part of it was going to be very brittle and break off at the slightest bit of leverage on the OEM clips. I need to source a new one from eiither Dave at Sere or TPS this week but bank holiday Monday will delay it a bit. Hopefully I'll get it sorted before the rr day at AmD as it's leaking air all over the show with the engine running at the mo. My plan was to replace the piping running off this towards the back of the bay with a nice red silicone one instead. Oh well, will sort this out over the week.

You can see where the spout on the right of the lid should extend out by an inch or so, but instead it's sheared off :rolleyes:

Took the Forge sticker off the engine cover too while I thought of it, will look better in the bay now for sure.

Oh and I had some time to get my LED lights out ready for a modification which I'll sort tomorrow now. Stuck the old set in and called it a day pretty much.

Was planning on making a start on painting my brake calipers but snow flurries and shopping put paid to that :(

Been looking in dog guards for my Cupra, suprised at just how much they are! Tried on of the universal ones and was a complete waste of time. Took up half the boot space and wouldn't stay in place :( So looks like a £90 odd model specific one its going to have to be.

Anyone know if there is any compatability between the cupra and mk4 golf for dog guards? Been looking on ebay but not sure if they would fit the cupra?
