    Hey, hows it going? The LCR can't be any worse in the snow than the civic - that physically doesnt move on snow or ice :D

    Hand Car Washes

    I don't use car washes at all. My mate has a valeting company so I give the car to him once or twice a year to give it a proper clean, polish and seal the paint. He uses one of those garden blow vac thingys to dry the car, so he's not rubbing the paint dry. Mind you, he normally charges...

    Nickys 05 Leon Cupra R

    hahaha, yeh has crossed my mind to paint the LCR white! Theres a thread on here from a guy who did that and the end result is stunning! That CTR was sold yesterday........I'm really not impressed, especially as my mum told me today that she would lend me the money to buy it until I sold...

    Is there any way of overwriting the bonnet catch?

    Thanks guys. I ended up getting the AA out to sort it - I was starting to get far too grumpy with it! We eventually got it opened after about 20 mins - the catch was completely siezed up, so i've emptied a can of WD40 onto it, so it seems to be ok now.

    Is there any way of overwriting the bonnet catch?

    I've done a search on here, but not finding what I'm looking for. Basically, I have gone to check the oil etc this morning but can't get the bonnet open - the lever has opened it about an inch, but the pull release thingy (dont know what its called!!) isn't doing anything. I can see the...

    firewall

    I've not done it on a Leon but did put a wire through the bulkhead of a Pug 306. I basically lifted the passenger carpet and drilled a hole through into the engine bay (making sure theres nothing to hit on the other side!!), put a rubber grommit and push the wire through, then its a case of...

    Cupra and Cupra R

    Theres a few posts about this, but the basics are the LCR comes with brembo brakes as standard, more supportive seats, different body kit, 18" wheels instead of 17", different turbo and inter-cooler set up (K04 = more power), different spring and damper set up, different ARB set up.

    Brake Package purchased....

    I have almost the same set-up on mine apart from I have standard EBC discs. They stop the car well, but I do suffer from brake squeal when they're wet. Might just be mine though!

    leon cupra r splitter

    As above, mine was £17 from my local SEAT dealer. The ones on ebay etc tend to go for quite a bit more.

    "Copy & Paste" welcomes

    I had noticed that someone did this this morning - I think every newbie thread had exactly the same welcome post copied and pasted. As said before, I thought I had opened the Introductions forum!!

    CUPRA R front splitter.. scrapes every where

    Hey, I didn't realise there was another Inverneshian on the forum! I find I don't scrape mine very often, but then I had a car before that was quite a bit lower than the LCR so I learnt the hard way where I could and couldn't go.

    fabia rear wiper

    Do you have a Skoda dealer near you? It cheaper to buy direct from Skoda than it is from ebay. I was £17 for the whole kit - exactly what is included in the ebay auction. As people have said already, the difference is immediate, the fabia wiper works so much better than the standard Seat...

    LCR versus CTR (thinking of changing over)...

    When I said the CTR is more of a drivers car, I meant that you need to work to get it to do what you want more than the LCR. The vtec means you need to rev it, change down more, whereas the LCR has a lot more low end power, so you dont need to work as hard to make it do anything. More involved...
