    Flushed doors...

    its a lot of dosh just to have a button that opens the door without handles, i think its more hassle really, save the 700 spondoolies and buy a front mounted intercooler if u got a turbo instead, much better idea!

    2001 lc cutting out

    reset the codes and re check with vag-com, it could just be because of the reset they popped up. check all plugs, plug gaps and coil packs. Even do a log to check the MAF as they create "chugging" That breather pipe is prone to perish, id suggest a method like silicone hosing (i made a thread...

    Boost Troubles

    local motor factors or eurocarparts are quite good, if you want OEM then obviously go to stealers but pay a packet. What reg is your car? As you have 5 years warranty on coil packs from Seat as they are such a common problem, i had one of mine replaced a day before the warranty ran out.

    Cupra R down to Cupra

    plus a facelift means its still a cupra, not a cupra R wannabe, it is like puttin an M badge on a 318 as you said earlier, i prefer facelift bumpers on a cupra than cupra R on a cupra. facelift bumpers can be bought cheaper, i bought front and back for £170 with top grille, fixed and painted...

    I'm follwing suit

    yes the black ones. 3 out of 4 were smooth, you can buy them that way, or primed. All i did was use acetone and cellulose thinner to clean them, lightly wet flat them to score them, prime them and then paint them with a can of paint, used laquer as well to seal the deal. If you want the bumpy...
