  1. Leon FR steel wheels and winter tyres

    Just waiting for my winter alloys to arrive. I bought a set of 18" Skoday Octavia VRS Golus alloys. Matching them up with a set of Vredestein Winter tyres. Should be easier to clen that the 19" multispokes and no diamond cut surfaces :-)
  2. Finally Got New Wheels

    Were your old wheels 18" and are you looking to sell them?
  3. Experience with Cupra 280/290

    We have owned our Cupra 280 SC for a couple of months. Top spec with bucket seats, DSG and multi spoke alloys (Conti's rather than Bridgestones ). Moved from an Alfa GT Q2 diesel with LSD, so fairly big change. Cupra is obviously much quicker. Completely different league for acceleration...
  4. Best looking 18" alloys for a SC Cupra?

    Decided to take the plunge and go for 18's for the winter wheels. Looking for OEM-ish style wheels, preferably without any diamond cut sections which will go downhill fast on salty roads. Any thoughts/ opinions welcome.
  5. Oil change question

    Hi Stuart Which dealer do you use? I am guessing Aberdeen?
  6. 17" Mk3 wheels on a Cupra?

    Thanks
  7. 17" Mk3 wheels on a Cupra?

    Spacers would disturb the offset and push the wheels nearer to the wheelarch. I am more concerned by the larger discs and calipers fouling the inside of the wheel. If someone has tried it I would be interested to hear from them.
  8. 17" Mk3 wheels on a Cupra?

    Simples. I realise that it is only May (not that it feels like it outside) but I don't intend to run the 19" multispokes in the winter and I have a set of 17" winter tyres that I could use if 17" wheels fit.
  9. 17" Mk3 wheels on a Cupra?

    Anyone tried? Will they clear the calipers/discs?

    Anyone good with photoshop who could show what scirocco turbines would look on a Leon SC?

  12. Apollo blue VS Alor blue - HELP!

    Thanks. This is the view in the other direction
  13. Apollo blue VS Alor blue - HELP!

    For a Cupra SC it has to be Alor Blue all the way. (Apollo is okay for a five door or ST)
  14. New 280 Cupra SC

    The colour changes with the light
  15. Cupra on normal 95 ron fuel

    Hi Stuart. I am another Islander but unlike Shetland, we have one filling station with super unleaded on Lewis (in Stornoway). The cap on mine says 95 in brackets and modern fuel management ecus will compensate for variations in fuel quality, so I would not have a problem using 95 when I have...

    Lost me there. Never had a mini. Last Pug that we had was nearly 20 years ago - a white 205 1.9 gti

    Sportwagon is our workhorse. No need for an ST as a daily driver. The Cupra is great, but it's no Alfa Romeo. :) That's why the Spider is staying as well. :D
