Helpful Resources
One of the highlights of the upgrade to the forum software earlier this year is the new Resources capability.
In the new Resources section you’ll find a lot of our historical guides from members who have kindly shared their knowledge on fixes, modifications and more.
We are also adding specific guides for new cars such as the CUPRA Ateca and CUPRA Formentor, with more to follow shortly. We are also using this to provide downloadable copies of the brochures for models from SEAT and CUPRA so you can get all you need in one place.
If you’d like to add your own resource to help others just hit the red button and the top of the section and choose the category. More information on how to add a resource can be found here.
Merchandise store
We have just 3 chrome car badges remaining from an order of 55 OEM Quality badges that went down a storm with members.
We have also added metal keyrings recently in similar quality which have been selling well too.
Our store is not-for-profit and a small amount after we have covered our costs goes back into helping us run the site and the online store for the benefit of our community.
We’ve got some more exiting products on the way.
Find more (including stickers) in the merchandise store and discuss in the dedicated merchandise forum
Keeping you informed
That’s about it for this month. No news on meetups of course due to the COVID situation, fingers crossed they can return next year.
Keep an eye on the site towards the end of the month as we’ll have something, well two, really cool things to share with you!
We’ll look to run these newsletters on a monthly basis again.
Stay safe, and until next time.
