    Styling Poll

    FR/Cupra with side skirts, I do like the Aero twin exhaust set up but the rest of the kit is too much for the standard car. I think I saw a post a while ago where somebody put the side skirts in backward and that it looked ok!!!!! CH

    quiet tyres?

    My TFSI FR came with Pirelli PZero Rossos on 17s, I now need new tyres for the front (Desperately). Any suggestions, I am happy with the grip (and rim protection) but would like a quieter ride. Cheers (sorry for the hijacking of the post but is is a bit related):D

    Fountain of Youth

    Hi had my TFSi FR for about 10 months now, still loving it. I have had a few comments from people (all good) in particular from two engineers from the US that we had on site. They liked the look of the car but had not heard of SEAT, once I said it was the same company as VW and AUDI and...

    mud flaps

    Even so I would search the site I'm sure that somebody will have some pics. I would seriously recomend them, I had a MarkV Escort Si with RS kit on it (yes I know but we all have a history ok) and the stone chips ruined the paintwork and the skirts Chris

    Noisy steering rack.

    My car was in for its 10K service last Friday, the stearing rack has been a bit on the noisy side (ie you could hear it) since the early days but even the wife had begun to notice it now. Pointed it out to the dealer at the service and sure enough it needs replacing, they also did a flash...
