    Pothole Damage

    I did less damage on a kerb in icy weather. Cost me £230 for a new cupra wheel, £40 for alignment, £275 for a new lower suspension arm and apparently the 'cradle' if now off by 2mm which means I'll have to take it to the stealers. still likely to be cheaper than an insurance claim!

    Grip in snow

    My cupra is awful n snow, combination of wide and low profile tyres plus lots of torque. Tyres were new in November. Kerbed an alloy just before Xmas at about 5mph skidding side on. Cost £500 for new wheel and lower suspension arm. Cupra parts ain't cheap!

    Service Question

    storm bay, how did you reset the service indicator light? was it... "holding in the odometer button and turning the ignition on and then twisting the button ..."? This method doesn't seem to work on my mk 2 cupra.

    Cupra tyre choice.

    I've been thinking about replacing my owrn front P-zeros for Eagle F1s. Is there any reason I can't put Eagles on the front and keep the Pirellis on the back two since the tread is still fine? One tyre place I spoke to seemed to think this may cause handling difficulties because they are...

    Cupra tyre choice.

    Anybody disagree and think they have any make that is 'better' than Eagle F1s. In my Pirelli Pzero Rossos I found aquaplaning quite common. what sort of mileage in normal use can you expect from Eagle F1s? are they as durable as Pzeros?

    Cupra tyre choice.

    Hello gents. My mk2 Cupra will soon be needing some new front tyres after 18500miles. Is anyone getting many more miles from a front set with normal driving than that? Has anybody got a recommendation as to what brands i should go for? price vs performance vs durability? At the moment i...

    MS DESIGN spoilers

    I was more interested in the front and rear diffuser/spoilers. I already have the aero skirts and rear spoiler and was wondering whether the other bits from this kit would look ok or original on my car.

    cupra r or do I go for the mk2 cupra

    djhorace knows his stuff no doubt. sod the figures. get in a mk2 cupra and put your foot down. i'll be surprised if you'll go near an LCR... I think they are leagues apart. the styling, in my opinion, is awesome but it's the acceleration and stability of the mk2 LC that'll make up your mind...

    Bluefin or Skirts & Spoiler

    I put the skirts and spoiler on my Cupra. I heard on here that it didn't affect your insurance so i put the parts on and was happily driving around for a couple of months without knowing the insurance implications. when i renewed my insurance all companies i checked and through gocompare.com saw...

    Pics of Supersprint exhaust for Cupra needed

    Is this supersprint catback system the absolute dogs in quality and sound? I looked into getting one as above but its not very cheap at all - it seems to be about 2 and a half times the cost of a milltek catback at about £800+.

    Bluefin ordered at last

    This is a great idea! Also be nice (if it were to happen) that it could be held somewhere north of manchester!

    btcc kit or aero kit or k1 kit

    I wondered for while about what bodywork to get as the Cupra doesn't stand out from the others in the range like the R32 does from the VW range so I decided on skirts and spolier. Don't regret it at all...

    Hill Hold Control

    What about using the handbrake? I've never understood the point in this.

    Big exhaust discussion hopefully...

    Jetex do a right and left oval exhaust catback too. has anybody got one of these or know what they sound like? are they decent quality? seem to be about the same price as milltek so how do they compare?
