I did think of that mate but all there is around me is speed humps and I have enough trouble getting over them as it is. When I do go for suspension I would rather have matched springs and dampers dont think ill go coilovers.

If anyone needs parts TPS in old kent road are excellent. Ahmed there sorted me a big discount there number is 02076391888

Got all my parts ready for Saturday. Spoke to David Hawthorne at Sere motors about all the corroded bolts and screws on my slam panel and rear engine compartment rubber all sorted and no change

He said thanks for all the support we give them. Top bloke and very helpful. Will have to send him a thankyou drink.

He is THE MAN for replacement OEM parts for our SEAT's.

Amazing service. Not come across much better tbh. Sure I've had fantastic service from AmD and my mate who looks after my car at his garage but for parts and prices, he is unbeatable I think.

We must support him back IMO.

Good job on getting all the parts mate.

Had my miltek catback fitted yesterday along with service plus new brake fluid.

Also picked up new centre caps for the wheels and fabia rear wiper conversation.

Will be fitting my heatshield tommorow and pipercross filter. And fitting the shim on the gearbox. Will put some pics up.

 

[ben450]

Fitted the custom heatshield that Richie made for me along with big Pipercross well happy with how it looks and sounds.

Also brought new centre caps for my wheels to fit once I've had them refurbed. Laquered them aswell to stop water damage.

Also got the shim and washer to fit to gearbox tommorow and Fabia rear wiper.

Just cambelt and waterpump to do next month and can crack on with the more fun purchases. I also got a new petrol cap as the little cable had snapped off and was getting on my nerves having to hold it when filling up lol.

Looks really nice mate. I've recently bought the heat shield of ritchie and then the big pipercross. Good choices.
