Do you have a cupra r steering wheel? mine came with a standard leather steering wheel when I bought it (previous owner said it perished badly) and I've been looking for a reasonably priced LCR wheel since.

No just the standard cupra wheel.
Reasonably priced and LCR wheel are generally not said in the same breath lol

Dropped my car off at Midland VW to get the turbo replaced. I had a call about an hour later from them saying there is a crowd of people round my car wondering where the button was to make the numberplate flip in and out:cartman:

lol ^

I took my car to DK's today, got my polished dipstick handle fitted, engine bay was given a quick clean, and a trapped boost hose running from the charge pipe was re-fitted, now feels much better in terms of boost.. It's there nice and early again! :)

cleaned the turbo on my TDI with Mr Muscle, and was amazed at how big an improvement it has made, but time will tell if it is a lasting repair.

Taken the Nav system out to fit an Aux cable, what a pain in the arse. Some bodge-tastic goon made a mess of the bracketing behind it all so had to strip down the centre console with the radio still in place.
Took me a good couple hours to sort. At least its all good now and has stopped an annoying rattle :D
Just to get the radio code on monday :(

Gave it a quick clean today, replaced the old tired looking R badges with new ones and gave the TIP and fluids etc a quick once over!

Clayed my car today and removed what seemed like eight years of crap from the paint. Polished with some poorboys super resin polish and then waxed. Tough work but we'll worth it. Will get the newly purchased da to it next weekend.

Was too tired to take a picture but will get one tomorrow.

Wrecked now. Time to have a beer and get ready for the nfl.

Might have to order some more! And some updated sidelights to match.
