What did you and your MK2 do today?

[KebabWarrior81]

I am seriously considering it. Or at least giving them a call to see whats what, if I need to go St Helens for fitting.
Looking at the Cupra R systems its hard to tell them apart lol apart from name and price.

Do I want the ceramic tips...? Heat wrapping etc lol.

Hey Craig, im not totally convinced at the quality of that stubby. The insert looks like it has some splinters coming away and the finish along the edges is very rough. At first I thought it was a plastic protection wrap but it seems that little bits of the insert are flaking off

Hmmm that's not good mine looks ok it's not the best made but there is no rough edges etc,could you ask for an exchange?

Was originally looking at this one but unsure if it will fit? It's a 5mm thread but may not be long enough

Checked over my (new to me) Leon Mk 2 Tdi 1.6s - ready for a week away - tyres, oil, water, screen wash, cleaned interior - all good to go.

Looking forward to the ride - and still trying to figure out the trip computer!!

I'd definatly request a replacement/refund mate as clearly that's no good.

Have just found this what do you think fella?

Number one thing putting me off is having to call up the insurance!
Second is whether I reeeeally want to mod the backend.
Third is the money...

...and I dont mean the price of the pipe, I mean how much car upgrade guilt presents/shopping for the missus this will cost me

A preemptive strike will cost you less. This way she will feel guilty that you went out of your way to buy/do something nice and it will therefore be totally acceptable that you treat yourself to.

Nice!

 

[Joshkcupra]

Cheers buddy

WeeG, are you still running the HPA intake manifold?

Triple R babbyyyyy love how the front looks now

 

[RobDon]

Fitted an auto-dimming rear view mirror:

Finished machine polishing my car and applied Gyeon MOHS ceramic quartz coating:

Found the SEAT boot logo for the sat-nav so loaded it onto my aftermarket head unit! You can change the boot logos and background to anything you want on this.

Had the wheels refurbished a couple of weeks ago so they're sorted too.

I like your thinking!

Sadly, the BCS sale is over - the full powervalve system I was eyeballing is now £300-400 more than it was on Sunday.

You snooze you lose eh!

Looks great after the machine polishing Rob. Need to do mine when the weather gets better.

Finally fitted my volkswagen racing bbk... Loving it so far, they definitely have some stopping power and the pedal feel is oem. I have only had them on for 4 days now so haven't tested them properly and will be away for about a month so won't be able to track them for a while but will definitely give them a good test on the track the next chance I get when I am back.

here are two pics.
