    Scrapping

    Yeh, I'm fine. Just felt like a bit of a ******** to be honest. That's good to know though, cheers.

    Scrapping

    I'm not looking at taking any of it to a salvage place though, the intention is to completely gut it myself. It is the car in my avi, but unfortunately body panels (other than the rear bumper) are no good. I hit standing water on a blind dip at about 50mph a few weeks ago and went spinning...

    Need a cupra r back in my life

    Mines sadly on the market at the moment. I know I'll miss it when it's gone.

    Why can't I post?

    I apologise for putting this here, but having used the search i'm stumped. I'm trying to post a reply in the "Seats wanted" section, but for some reason I can't. Is there something i'm missing in relation to having to register or anything? I just keep getting told i don't have the necessary...

    NGK bkr7e plugs, which i believe are the standard ones, or at least equivalent to.

    More BHP?!?!

    That's exactly what I did. Think I bought a 100cm x 50cm rectangle of alu for £20 or so, made 2 and sold one for £35.

    More BHP?!?!

    Make your own. 1.2mm aluminium and some tin snips using the template on this forum. Easy cheesy.

    Standard exhuast?

    Standard cat-back I was quoted £288 from Seat. Can't get one from auto factors as it's not a patent part. You can get a resonated Cobra cat-back for £350.

    Bill is IbizaCupra, as above. He's the main man for all your tuning needs. Look up Badger 5 tuning.

    Extending Fob Distance

    Seriously? Seems too simple! I have this issue too.

    Best exhaust to get

    Access is fine at the back of the car with a ramp if you're only going cat-back. I imagine the only difficulty will be the nuts attaching the cat to the mid section. Mine were beyond rusty and had to be grinded off.

    Best exhaust to get

    Cobra. It'll be louder, prettier, and it'll last longer.

    Platinum grey paint.

    Aha, brilliant. Cheers man.

    Platinum grey paint.

    I want to touch up a few scuffs on my LCR. Anyone know if its possible to get the platinum grey paint from anywhere?

    Outside Temp sensor won't read above 0!

    Have you checked all the fuses? I had the same issue a year or so ago, and it was something to do with my brake light switch, faulty cruise control and a dodgy fuse. It all happened at the same time so I'm not sure exactly which faults contributed to the others, but I definitely had a fuse out.
