My reasoning was I'd leave the struts on for a few months to make sure they don't fail before I remove the arm. Nice to have a backup in case of failure. You've reminded me now so it'll be off tomorrow. Cheers lad!
Did you do this yourself or did you use a kit from eBay... £80 from eBay seems a bit steep to me considering it's just two gas struts and a couple of brackets. Probably most of the cost is due to shipping from Russia

My kit was the same price and I removed the stay as well. Didn't want it rubbing on my Forge intake I took the route of a TT RS engine cover.

Picked up my car from the shop, Sorting out the rubbing of the wheels - 80% done bit more to sort and then we are done.

Got my first reminder that I have lowered my car. In Lidl car park and then hit the kerb with my front splitter.

Lucky no damage just a lot of noise but its a reminder i have to pay attention parking the car with front splitter facing the path.

Finally got round to updating my sat nav maps. Didn't work at first but the I dug out the original thread with the workaround on it and worked a treat. Am I right in thinking 0915 is the latest? It's definitely later than my 0730 that I was on in any case.

The newest ones are 1030 I believe. I think it’s detailed further in the original thread.

Update V2 here you go.

Well i changed the washer jets to fan jets last week and gave the cupra a nice wash and polish on Monday. But today i had a 62 mile blast up Northumberland back roads, Rothbury, otterburn ect. All i can say is the handling is amazing a couple of times when i was pushing abit not ven a hint of understeer and some great exhaust bangs when changing coming out of corners. Some of the roads are a mess though lust like the rest of Northumberland sadly
